Markstrom is arguably Fleury's heir apparent for transom save techniques like stacking the pads
Sens are missing 3 out of their top 4 defensemen. They don't have the depth to compensate; few teams do. Look at their record with Ullmark before the injuries and he's been fine.
Linus is a weak human
Jarry for Ullmark? God no
Cassidy is out there
Cut Ulmark loose now!! Cancer for the organization
Lol, 5 shots on 16 goals, oops.
I wonder if the Sens can get Jesper Wallstedt for a reasonable price.
Bobrovsky was horrible in Florida for awhile, I wouldn't give up on Ullmark, that would probably bite them in the ass.
DGB crashing out over Leaf ownership is absolute classic.
Rodgers doesn't care. They aren't going to spend crazy on the Leafs just to spend crazy.
im sorry but i looked at the goals scored and i don't see how it was his fault they lost.
Igor's chin-buster collar grab was choice, too. Markstrom won’t shave pain-free for a week.
he already has been the downfall of the ottawa senators, look at the analytics
If Ullmark has mental issues, then he probably can't play professional sports. Ullmark should ask to belet out of his contact. He isn't being fair to the team.
