Speculation: Who starts Game 4?

[Bruinfanatic]

Good chance that Ullmark’s going to be gone next season so doesn’t it seem that the best plan would be to see what the guy who is going to be the future number one ,not get the chance to show his stuff?

If you lose with Ullmark in game four, Toronto has it in their head they still have to beat Swayman in Boston, potentially twice.

If you win with Ullmark in game four, the Leafs are likely mentally beat.

If you lose with Swayman in game four, it’s harder to go back to Ullmark IMO.

So, I start Ullmark.

Bruins in game 5 and game 7 at home doesn't exactly foster any confidence.

Does the “Hot Hand” Exist in Hockey?

Nearly every hockey fan and player will tell you that, when the playoffs arrive, you have to go with the goalie who’s on a roll. Are they right?

This is simple coach. You play Swayman if you want to keep your job. Game 2 was a fair decision but this is game 4.

So he gets benched after being NHL player of the week and then just turns around and gives us a team friendly discount?

You prefer to give a goalie5 days rest vs 2?

Based on the arbitration comments, he was never giving them a discount. If they trade Linus (and it seems likely), they'll give Sway 7x and it'll be about market price.

29 Leafs fans and Jim Montgomery voted for Ullmark.

Swayman said he wanted to play more. He's 2-0 in this series and has owned the Leafs this year. This shouldn't even be a discussion.

He's 2-0 with a .955 SVP and 1.51 GAA. . Ullmark is 3.08 GAA and a .912 SVP.

Stop platooning, stop overthinking, Win a series. That's it.

Not starting Sway reeks of smartest man in the room syndrome.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

If they bench Swayman tonight I doubt he’s a Bruin next year. He’ll ask for too much money in the off-season and get moved like Hamilton or Kessel.

Also the break will be too long from game 3 to game 5 each break is 2 days. The guy we saw Wednesday will be gone.

What? Why? Because he’ll be mad and want to leave?

The thought that if they win with Ullmark tonight - the Leafs are cooked - is valid. I just don’t think you take the chance. Swayman tonight.
