Former Bruins Thank You Linus Ullmark

[Gee Wally]

Please move the trade discussion and DS critique to here:

Boston Bruins - 24-25 Roster/Cap thread - Linus traded to Sens

After the goal Skinner just gave up maybe we can interest them in a slightly less expensive Korpisalo 😋

If Montgomery didn't play him while clearly injured in 2023 his legacy here would be even greater and he'd probably have a ring to his name.

Seems like a good guy, and a class goalie. We'll always have the goalie goal

Thank you Linus for all the fantastic goaltending you supplied the Bruins with! Your style is SO much more fun to watch than Swayman’s boring, robotic butterfly. You will be missed!

Best of luck in Ottawa!

[Fire Sweeney]

Great guy who deserves better than Sweeney, Neely and Montgomery.

 

[Terrier]

Thank you Linus, many hugs.

Thanks for this @Alicat

Lost in all of this conversation the past few weeks is what Ullmark brought to the organization. I don't think Swayman would be the quality of player he is now without Ullmark here to push him and support him.

Linus is one of my favourite goaltenders we've had in Boston. I bought his Centennial jersey this year. I think incredibly highly of him as a player and as a person. And I think the Senators are going to be much more competitive this season with him between the pipes.

I'll never forget being able to see him break a club record live in Calgary. Absolutely stellar.

I will miss him.

what Marty Lapointe was to Bergeron he was to Swayman


He was just a lot better in a bruins uniform than Marty Lapointe

Excellent post.

Man, hate to see him leave, even though it was inevitable. One of my favourite short term Bruins players of all time. Lights out for you in Ottawa I hope.
All the best for you & your family !!

Great goalie, great teammate, great guy. Glad we had him and wish him nothing but the best.

What a game that was. Seeing Ullmark pull off that epic performance in-person was amazing. Otherworldly goaltending.

What a swell guy. Such a decent human being, given us a lot of great memories and wins over the last three years. The Bond with Sway was special, fully agree Jez is a better player as a result.

Only shame was he was never able to deliver a big playoff performance for us, which I fully believe he has in him, but his best opportunities were cruelled by injury and the Bruins reverting to the 'ride one guy' policy, for better or worse. Never mind.

Thanks Linus, it's been great, good luck in Ottawa.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Thanks Linus, good luck on the revenge tour.

 

[Ladyfan]

Well...hopefully they can sign Sway...

 

[Dellstrom]

One of those times when hockey being a business sucks. Totally understand why he was and needed to be traded, we’re still in a great goaltending situation, but can’t ask for a better UFA signing than Linus. Just an absolutely phenomenal person and player. So many great memories. Wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career. Hope he gets a huge paycheck.

Winning won’t be as fun without the goalie hug.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Gonna miss him.
Have fun in Ottawa!

 

[BMC]

A day later and I'm still sad about losing Linus. *sigh*

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Ok Linus, now that you have been traded for Peanuts, perhaps this can put Sweeney (aka Charlie Brown) in Snoopy's dog house! Where Snoopy can fly that doghouse over the Atlantic Ocean and dump Charlie Brown in the ocean, never to be seen again!. Lol

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Great guy, great team mate, probably help Sway tremendously while he was here.

Lousy playoff performer that he was won't be missed by me.

 

[ODAAT]

Gonna miss him.
Have fun in Ottawa!

as a born and raised Ottawa boy, fun is impossible, to do that, he`d have to cross over on the bridge to Gatineau

Hope he likes walking across a windy open field to the rink! hah

 

[Thirty Seven]

Well...hopefully they can sign Sway...

Korpisalo and Bussi next season??

 

[Bruinaura]

Hard to believe he was only a Bruin for 3 seasons. Feels like he was here for a decade. One of those "born to be a Bruin" guys.

I'll miss the Goalie Hug which may be imitated but never replaced.

 

[Patdud]

I would 100% root for him and the Sens if the bruins get eliminated and he is still playing.
