I listened to those. He wanted to start last year, but was told the renos would upend the season and to wait. It's still unfckn real how getto this team was run. Little bits keep coming out.
I can't say I'm surprised. There was so much noise during Melnyk's last few years of absolutely everything just being chopped to the bone and it was amateur hour from the outside looking in.
I made some sens fan hype videos a while ago that blew up and I got invited to tour around a lot of the Sens facilities. Was pretty surprised how terrible some of them were (compared to what you would think). Glad to hear it is being addressed!
Interesting. I'm also glad it's being addressed. These are pro hockey players and it's ideal for them to have facilities that are up to the expectations of that level of hockey and other teams in the league. You're either in or you're out right.

This is possibly as big as the day we drafted tkachuk
It's great. After Korps first game, there was a dude on the Boston board that said he was going to come here and troll us when Korps proved us wrong because we were laughing about it. Is it trolling to post the Linus signing interview on their postgame thread? Asking for friend.

I was arguing with a friend at hockey about this on Sunday. He was peddling the same BS. I made sure to text him during the game last night.

The one big takeaway I had from his interview on tsn1200 today was how he nonchalantly discussed how he talked to "professionals" to help figure himself out.

Really shows how grounded he is, how comfortable in his own skin he is and how he owns his own shit, address it, and doesn't feel any shame over it.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, and I'm biased from my own issues with mental health . . . but that really speaks out to me about who this guy is. And from my totally ignorant to how a locker room opperates point of view . . . it sounds very much like what is needed in any group of young men to ground everyone.

Super stoked for this guy. Can't wait to see what he can do this year

It's a fair criticism that signing a goalie to this like of contract before playing a single regular season game is risky.
I don't see how the risk is any greater because the regular season hasn't started yet.

He is a great goalie, he is OUR great goalie. His track record speaks for itself and there is no need to see how he looks in the regular season. He is going to look great.

He is obviously feeling comfortable here, and that is great. This turns a page on a very dark chapter in Senators history.

I am thrilled.

Seems he has life totally in the proper perspective. Family to him is most important and if they are happy so is he. In turn I believe he will play really well because of that.

During his presser, I really liked his answer when someone asked him what the difference was between Buffalo and here? He said that there's a desire to become better, not being satisfied with the status quo and that he wanted to be a part of it (paraphrasing here).

It's a risk. Word was Buffalo was unhappy with him not wanting to play a lot. Lets pray he can play a lot of games, and wants to play. His limited playoff numbers are yuuukkkkk
I hope he has decided its time to be the man

The way the league is changing, I doubt you'll see many goalies play more than 50-55 regular season games a year. There was something I was reading a year or two ago - those composite sticks, more wide open and skilled play - all that means a lot more up and down movement for goalies compared to eras past. Way more wear and tear on the knees and hips. It also explains why it's so hard for goalies to be consistently good for multiple years at a time.

I think he actually said a desire (or willingness) to change. Everyone wants to be better... most people dont want to change

Game 1 post game. Page 2. The don godfather. Have at it.

Edit: man, that's right, he said we wouldn't and couldn't sign ullmark. I remember it now.

They added a family area for the players. I thought that was a given. What went on here before?

Before, it was only for girlfriends. Not even for the wives. They also didn't allow brunettes in.

There are no useless posters. I don't mean to break kayfabe, but we all have a role to play here. Except for that guy who made a post about how he was going to be a Leafs fan from now on.

Well ... he's likely a douchebag.

I on the other hand want to congratulate you guys in signing Ullmark solidifying your net for the next 4 years.
All the best!:thumbu:

What?

If this guy is a risk, then I guess we should only sign 1 year contracts from now on.

Best overall goalie stats in the past 2 years (someone else posted that, so may be off).

Recent Vezina winner.

Entire career with + save%

Clearly a leader and person that won't settle for mediocrity.

His preseason alone shows me there is no risk. His presence in net is a stark contrast to what we have seen for at least 5 years.

How anyone can put a negative spin on this is beyond me. Great goalies make great teams, it is that simple.
