Can Linus Ullmark be a difference maker for Senators? | Jay On SC

Should there be discipline for hits in the Senators and Canadiens game? Can Linus Ullmark be a difference maker for Ottawa? Is the NHL preseason too long? Will the Sabres make the playoffs this season? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

  1. So IMO I would love for the Sabres to do a special "He's back" video for Ruff. He is my childhood as although I am a die hard Leafs fan I remember Pat Quinn (RIP) AND Lindy Ruff barking back and forth at each other during games and Quinn wasnt the type to do that as he was typically quiet but u could tell how upset he was by how hard he was chomping that gum.

  2. I believe Ullmark has the potential to be for the Sens as Thatcher Demko has been for the Canucks. That said, overuse of Demko, during the 2021-22 season, resulted in his having become quite injury-prone the following one and having had to miss almost 3 months due to a series of knee problems.

  3. We saw the old senators in their d zone last game, trapped and unable to leave the zone… However having Linus in net, who's seems to be in complete control at all times vs Korpisalo who was always all over the place, on his back, trying to make some miraculous save… the difference is so refreshing…

  4. Does anyone ever say that the Bruins defensive play looked good the last few years because of their 2 goalies? Everybody believes it's the other way around, but I don't think it is that cut and dry. Also, Ottawa's D was not that bad last year (yes, not the best at all, but not the worst by any means). All advanced stats show that it was the goaltending that let the team down in most cases. Fourpisalo and Foursberg let in a goal on one of the first 2 shots of the game in 22 games last year, a league record. Ullmark should allow them to finish with 10-20 more points this season and definitely fighting for a playoff spot. Cheers

  5. As a habs fan, its great to have a gritty player that can answer the call on situations the refs miss or misjudge and protect teammates without fear.

    That being said. He needs some disciplin, and that hit was unnecessary. I wouldnt dissagree with a 1 to 2 game suspension. He needs to get back to playing actual hockey.
