Anthony Travalgia: Linus Ullmark giving the Bruins what they need in net

Oi Oi Bruins faithful. You have the Blues former assistant manager as coach. Made the blues bring back a zombie in MacTavish. Swagman looks good from what I have seen. Wish Rask well in his retirement. Sad to see Chara retire but the 1 day contract to retire a Bruin works. Been a year since I was banned so I’m back. I’ll try to not personally insult ek again ha ha

Ullmark has been a beast so far this season and clearly should be the starter most games if he can keep up this pace. Personally I am not a fan of two goalies playing 50/50 and always like a clear cut number one if they can get the wins. Like Dallas with Oettinger and Shesterkin in New York. Great game Linus.

I still think Swayman is the clear future in net, but credit where credit is due. Ullmark has been up to the task while injuries have been an issue. Last game was an incredible effort. Hope to see much more of that, and you cant beat the goalie hug!

I agree about Swayman and the future but he hasn't looked good yet this season (real and pre-season). I'd give him another start and if still struggling it's time to send him down to Providence to get a bunch of games and get his form back. Bring him back after the Bruins are back to full strength.

I have seen enough from Studnicka. Waive him. Addition by subtraction. He is a meh player, taking up cap space and blocking someone else more deserving of a roster spot.

I don't send swayman down at this point. Let him play it out and work with the coaches to round his game in the NHL. Best we could call up to replace is probably kinkaid? Would rather let swayman figure it out, I think he has the competitive drive in him to do so.

Hey, Droogie. Know how you haven't been posting on here in a year or so?
Yeah. Let's keep doing that.

Thanks pal. Good to hear from you also. Come to St. Louis when the Bruins visit. Section 311. Nosebleeds. You’ll find me

Hard to find such a tiny fellow like yourself.
Nosebleeds are appropriate.

Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

You're a sick little Droog.

Foligno with 3 goals already? Isn't that like... last years TOTAL?

Boy was I wrong... AGAIN!

I predict Pasta won't score 40 goals.

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain.
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above.
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face.
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain.
I'm singin', just singin' in the rain.

i too am happy about how wrong I was, I hope they can keep up this pace all year. Whole different style of hockey, and Ulmark is earning every penny of his contract when I thought he was overpaid.

Swayman is hot garbage
Way overrated

Ulhmark is the clear #1

One more and he doubles his output from last year: lol: Last year was a poop year from Foligno no doubt. He's just a touch too young to completely fall off of a cliff like that. He looks much better so far.

Foligno's play is encouraging, but I suppose we will see if it stays any kind of consistent. I would still rather Mclaughlin have a spot over him but I guess they are going to milk all they can out of Foligno before they let that happen.

Things will change as the season goes on. I'm guessing McLaughlin is eventually going to draw in over Smith.

Agreed. Wonder if they will be able to find Smith a new home. Was hoping he would turn it around but it is what it is I guess.

I like the rest of Smith's game. He just seems to trying to shoot from everywhere. I know this is arm chair bullpoop but I looks he's trying too hard. Hoping he gets one within the next game or 2 and settles down.

Going to be hard to deny McGluaghlin if wings in the bottom 6 are inconsistent or don't produce. I think any one of Lauko, Frederic, Smith, Foligno need be on notice.

Same for Nosek. I don't have any issue with his game but to me if they're going to continue trying with Studnicka, it has to be at center. He's not a wing.

I wish Studnicka would figure it out. I really do. To me he looks like a repeat of Senyshyn. Holding on to him for too long in hopes he will figure it out only to get more of the same.

All of those names you mentioned better be on notice. McLaughlin and Lysell are knocking at the door. I say if some of these guys dont show something after 10 games, you start calling kids up and giving them a 10 game look.

Me too. They need the center depth. It was promising to see Beecher up in exhibition games but he's needs time to develop in America league. Bringing him this season would mean the Bruins are screwed with injuries.

Also EK fix your (frank)ing site dude. Jesus (frank) balls.
