If Ullmark plays well in the 1st game you stay with him. Again, name a team that takes a 2-0 games lead and changes goalies? It doesn't happenIsn't the whole premise of this conversation that it's largely about how to do it given that there are few to no examples?

Lucky that Monty has “Goalie Bob” to count on for advice…. Bob "you ok Linus ?" Linus "I'm fine!" Monty "you ok Linus ?" Linus "Fine I said!" Bruins fans "Hold Ullmark down and give him an exam!!!"

Ultimately, we will see. Would like to see Sway play well in a regular season game preceding playoffs. Play well. Well that would settle things down a bit in here for about a day. Regardless outside of a complete game steal in game 1. I'm going with rotating for this run. That's even IF Sway doesn't get out of his sporadic play. He's not going to get out his funk sitting on the bench that's for fucking sure. Rotate them! That's part of the equation, right? People have been killing Monty for not going to Swayman sooner, not using his two goalie advantage, and then hanging Swayman out to dry after a 6 game hiatus. The argument for rotation is to avoid all of that. Don't just count to Swayman figuring it out if Ullmark falters, whenever that might be. Maybe this whole rotation thing requires a change of perspective because it's based on the idea that you're stronger as a team over a 7 game series than if you go with the traditional goalie competition for the number one role. The premise here is that the Bruins are strongest when both goalies are rolling. That means you aren't trying to predict who will be better in game 2 based on how the starter for game 1 performs; you're playing both guys to maintain a routine that is familiar in terms of the rhythm of starts, the time off between games, the amount of recovery work you can do, and the amount of live fire you get. You might be marginally better in a particular game if you give a guy who had a big game successive starts, but you might not if they go to school on how he dominated in the previous game, and you might now be at a marginal disadvantage trying to go to a guy who hasn't played in twice as long as usual. Obviously, bad thing would break the logic of a rotation like an injury or a guy having two terrible games in his first two starts, or two losses where it seems like the opponent has a book on one guy. But otherwise you are stronger with this tandem and more likely to win 4/7 with a rotation than if you try ride one of the two. The one thing you're sacrificing, and it almost breaks with a foundational myth of the playoffs, is the opportunity for one of the two to "get hot" and "go on a tear." But that's a gamble, and if you're in a position to put a lot into a really secure investment, why buy lottery tickets with the money instead?

So in a scenario where Ullmark starts game #1 and gets a SO, Swayman gets the start in Game #2 and shits the bed, Ullmark gets the start in Game #3 and gets the win, you come back with Swayman? This is hypothetical of course, just asking for a friend.

If Ullmark gets a shutout in game 1 he should start game 2. if gives up one goal and stands on his head making saves he should be the starting goaltender the second game. Linus will be watched closely today, he will see a lot of rubber.

If they continue on with the roto into the playoffs. Sway would be the starter for game 1. But this is where I believe they should start a new roto. Ully game 1. Away game 2 etc.
