If hockey history has taught us anything, it’s that GOALTENDING makes all the difference nine out of ten times. Either by shutting down a powerful offense, or saving the day when you’re having an off night.

We’ve been on both sides of it. Ullmark is the real deal.

Bruins history.....Dryden, Parent, Barrasso, Ranford, Roy...............

Bruins history.....Dryden, Parent, Barrasso, Ranford, Roy...............

We DID have Tim Thomas on our side that one time…

There’s no reason Ullmark can’t do what any of those ‘tenders did.

This Ullmark story was posted in the Linus Ullmark thread in December, but Kelly Hrudey mentioned it after last night's great performance by Linus, and it really hit home with me as my Father also struggled with alcoholism, and it definitely affects the entire family.

So I thought I'd post it here again for anybody who missed it.....as Wally stated, it's a "Real good read".

His days are numbered.

Reminds me of his brother, former B's coach Brian. His only solution to problems was to "work harder". It's why his Bruins teams were always physically & mentally gassed come playoff time, he ground them down to powder during the regular season.

Its been a long time since we've had a goalie that actually steals wins

Not really. We've been blessed in the goalie department for over a decade.

Has Boston gotten an unusual number of games against PO teams
with key players out. Las Vegas on the road (2 top D, Eichel, then Whitecloud in game),
Colorado both games, Toronto (Matthews\Muzzin), Florida (Barkov, Ekblad hurt in game), Carolina (Slavin) and now Buffalo (Dahlin)? I know Boston had Marchand and McAvoy out first 8 games but they had a fairly favorable schedule early.

Cherry on top for Linus' February performance:

Same here. Great read and was a much needed reminder that there is someone else out there who is also experiencing what you've also experienced. It helped me open up more about what happened with my dad and that it is ok to feel so many emotions.

Way to go C Mac!

Kind of crazy to wonder how many #77 might have had with 3 on 3 OT. Man that would have been fun.

I choose to believe that's #12 Oates!

Were you thinking “2011?”

yessir, loved Rask but he let in some important softies, and mia playoff season.

Very good, and very accurate post.

This is a perfect example of seeing what you want to see.

I saw both

This is a perfect example of mockery.

Lindholm far and away their best dman lately, last night included. Grzelcyk was just okay last night. He was behind the play a few times resulting in scoring opportunities (one for an actual goal against). McAvoy I feel just needs some rest.

I agree on Lindholm. Orlov played very well and has harsh in his game. 48 played more than ok, despite imo that 73 play. That said 73 did close the game... hockey is just romantic!

Great teams sometimes have no business winning certain games...
This game was one of them.
This club is unreal.

Hockey Gods returned a favor from the AZ no-icing game loss.

Indeed, they have.

Time to pack up the tent and slip into the night!

I see what you did there

Very good, and very accurate post.

thank you

Weird. He’s a huge Blues/St. Louis guy

His fiance is from Cambridge, MA. Maybe she is a Bruins fan...or he's just a hockey fan.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Just watched the rerun on ESPN+

WOW

How do they do it
ORLOV
ULLMARK

I cannot remember the last time I saw a team so absolutely exhausted win a game like that.

Someone needs to record all the this seasons games and sell it.
Most of us diehard fans would buy it.
