I just want to point out that there is a lot of middle ground between being the second best goalie on this team (to Sway) and being a bad backup goalie. I maintain that Ullmark is good enough to be primary on a handful of teams, but probs not one w deep run aspirations. Hes at least adequate on every team as a #2. Sway is better. +1

A bit late on the score, these late games are suck. I'm adding a point to both. Wasn't sure if I should add or deduct an extra point for Linus for pulling on the never seen before "itchy dog butt dragged on a rug" maneuver. Haven't seen something that ridiculous since TT in the all-star game who got send into a backspin on a breakaway.
JSway 5
Linus -1

Timmy Ullmas is holding his own, a win's a win baby! And still has the better record against playoff teams. LoL Patrick Swayze faced 16 shots all night and still gave up a stinker.

And yet the game-saving 10 bell-stops in the final minutes are conveniently ignored. At least Bruce is admitting in public who the better choice is now.

Both goalies will be needed. So let's stop trashing them. They have good camaraderie. And Cassidy is a fucking tool for saying anything about Swayman as winning a #1 role. Why is that even made public, no need. You can't survive with just one goalie, you can try to get away with it in the playoffs, but for the most part you need 2. Go B's!

But if I were Cassidy I would start Swayman a lot more as well. We'll see against some real good teams.

Just play them evenly for the rest of the year. Lots of games in a compressed schedule for two goalies that have never played this many games before

Sway Sway now fourth in save % at .926 and 4th in GAA at 2.04 through 23 games. This is a great story and we should enjoy every minute of it.

Still want to carry some momentum into the playoffs but the B's don't need to empty the tank like 7 or 8 seeds typically have to. Just to prove Sway is the #1 guy, I'd go Sway 17 games and Ullmark 13 games.

I think this is seriously flawed. Ullmark came here, with decent stock. It's lost. It's lost because of the salary and the term. Nobody pays 5 mil for potentially adequate...and especially,..nobody pays 5 mil for a backup. There's very little "middle ground" in a cap league. This doesn't mean hes going to stay there...but bottom line, he's proven to be very suspect ,in Boston. He needs to up his game, to match his salary, which is a pretty big hill to climb, based on what we've seen. Hope he pulls it off, cuz it's going to be a significant anchor around the teams neck if he doesn't.

I agree the money and the term are what make it tough to swallow, and likely tougher, but not impossible to trade. I don't think he's been "that" bad, but predictably, Swayman is proving to be the better goalie which is just more wasted cap space sitting on the bench once the playoffs start. Sweeney's MO is that in any given season he's got $6M or so of wasted money that always prevents us from landing the top tier pieces that we always seem to be wishing for. I mean, 5 years of John Moore at $2.75M to not really play NHL hockey is the starting point, then you can add in the failed acquisitions, rando euro guy, 8th depth defenseman, etc. from each season. Now we'll eventually get Moore off the books and be looking at our $5M backup for the next three years. Oh ya, and Foligno at $3.8M for unproductive 4th line minutes. Ulmark was insurance in case Swayman's development was stalled. I get it. But that's an expensive, and long term policy to take out on a kid that's given you every reason to believe and very few reasons to doubt in Swayman.

As long as you remember the save Reilly had to make for Swayman.

Swayman now tied with Igor for #1 in the NHL in GAA. Let that sink in. #1.

There’s a difference between saying something in hindsight, and saying it beforehand and later saying it was true. I said at the time I would have gone with Sway/Vladar, others did too. That extra cap space would be nice.
I also didn’t want Nash, btw.

Both Vladdy and Sway looked quite promising and I wasn't thrilled with ditching Vladdy for peanuts either. Definitely could have used the 5m on something more productive... Add nash to the list of trade deadline duds.

Maybe you should apply and save the B’S a boatload in the salary of the next GM since you seem to be spot on on every decision…. As for Darth Vladar, rather than lighting it up he seems to be getting lit up instead…. Cheaper but not better than Linus has been….
