Did you cut it off? No questions about the series?
Pretty much explains why they haven't had a good goalie in forever.Weird how a team who hasn’t had a good goalie in forever didn’t want him.
A very personal interview with Ullmark. This will likely air tonight on HNIC before the Leafs game:

As long as Essensa is the goaltending coach, I honestly believe we could trade for Jack Campbell and suddenly within 3 months he would be putting up Vezina caliber numbers. The reason I don't trade Ullmark, or Swayman is because they have the right attitude. A great attitude is the one thing you can't coach into a player. It is the one thing that brings everyone else up around them. You have a bad game, the rest of the team around you wants to play that much harder to make up for it. Organizational behavior has as much of an impact on professional sports as talent.I can only go back to Cheevers and Eddie Giacomin and Cesar Maniago
I am blessed to have had a Birds Eye view of the Bruins goalies periods 1 and 3 since I was 6 years old
I’m unfortunately in the Chicago game 6 video (actually my daughter was an nhl network star all summer for her her open mouth head drop/slump when Chicago got the winning goal)
So I can watch these guys
Linus Ullmark is a stud - he’s that good. If they trade him they better get the mother load
For the foreseeable future (2 yrs) he’s legit good
He’s probably got another 5-6 yrs of eliteness
He is clearly being judged for his performance injured just as Bergeron-6 in 3 playoff games with a herniated disc
Unless he’s not going to heal or did something bad I find it crazy to deal him
Oh and he should be able to kill any deal and should

Their impact on the game will go far beyond the stat sheet. Their embrace at the end of the game has brought them attention. Their openness to talk about life, emotions, family, and love is going to impact a lot of young fans positively. That Ullmark piece last night was so well done. We are lucky to have them both. People have been complaining about minor hockey/sports culture for a long time. These two are going to play a big part in that culture shift. They embody what healthy competition looks like, what sport is meant to be, and honestly what everyone of us want to see our children grow into. Good, honest, and loving adults.When Swayman goes in the HOF he will talk about how Linus was a big reason for this
They are best duo I’ve seen here includes back to 66-67
Gotta love LinusThanks!
very powerful. A good reminder that these are real people and may be dealing with something so much more than a game.
I love how open he is about it. Being told it is ok to not be ok was the first thing I was told after my dad passed and it has been my mantra since. I am still trying to unpack my dad's alcoholism nearly 8 years later and I haven't even scratched the surface. That feeling of relief Linus talks about is very real.That was awesome
