Calling them a horrible defensively structured team is such a cop out. You look at their defensive numbers, and they are not even bad. This narrative is a piss off
Hockey casuals. Their defensive metrics were on par with the Bruins last year and are on par with the Bruins this year. Flyers were limited to 19 shots that game & Ullmark let in 5.
I think shifting from Boston to ottowa did kinda tank his SV% bc they aren’t as good on D as the Bs are. Goalies are defense reliant am I saying that from experience (I’m a goalie) and when that doesn’t happen, stuff go down
Was an easy call. You don't go through 10 goalies in 5 yrs if your defensive structure is bad. His save % is lower than Korpisalo's was last year. That's $9.25M. Personally, I would have spent $6M of that upgrading bottom pairing.
Every year, Sens fans say, “This is the year” and every year they end up at or near the bottom of the league. There is always an excuse: the coach, the owner, the arena, the management, the goalie…and now it’s the defence.

Isn’t Swayman also really bad this year?
bruins won the trade
Its because they took him away from swayman 😢
I called this on both ends… as a tandem, they're wonderful. They're 2 high-end backups that can share a great workload. Apart.. They're pedestrian

I think the new GM may be worst than Dorion.
Whoever this guy is, he sounds like a plug.
Ullmark has been crap
They took them apart, and they both got bad

How about now??
Look at his numbers now. 8th best goalie in save percentage and 7th best goalie in goals against average
