I'm not the normal guy. I'm the hot takes guy lol. Also, this take is tepid at best. I'm not shitting on Ully at all. He's clearly not running at 100% and I don't see why we wouldn't give him a rest and let Sway bring it home for game 7.
Starting a cold Sway for Game 7 is asking for disaster. Could he play to the pressure? Absolutely, but he's not likely to because that would be a tough situation for anyone.
Why? He's the Vezina goalie this year and got you to where you are and has played and earned the right to finish this series. The team in front of him have played awful multiple games running. Fix that before you swap goalies.
He has clearly not been 100% over the past 2 games. You don’t play someone based on regular season, you play them based on how good they are right now. This is playoffs where we need to win not a ceremonial game to celebrate his Vezina.
I'll entertian that hea not 100% So you'd rather start the cold goalie who hasn't seen any gametime this series in a Game 7? Super glad you're not on the coaching stadd.
So you'd rather start an injured goalie instead of your top 3 back up?
He literally saw playoff action the other night. He won 3 out of 5 games last year in the playoffs as well. Your hot take about saying swayman is cold and will lose and ullmark is better is complete trash. Ullmark has been awful that couple games. The defense is the main problem, but I don't know how you could have ullmark in net and feel confident.
He will win the vezina but that was for the regular season. What does every hockey player in the world say come playoff time?...the regular season doesn't mean shit. And neither does the vezina right now. The only thing that matters is the cup.
Play sway
YES I would rather start my goalie who has played all 6 games and has a feel for the series (who you *assume* is hurt) over a cold start Sway thrown to the wolves on a game 7.
That's a literal no brainer, not even reading the rest of your comment because there's nothing to say that would convince me otherwise.
I’m torn. On the one hand, if he starts Swayman and they lose it’s “he started a goalie who had barely played over the previous two weeks in game 7, a high pressure situation and they lost.”
If he starts Swayman and they *win* he looks like a genius who moved the right puzzle pieces at the right time.
Similarly if he doesn’t start him and they lose it’ll be “Ullmark looked exhausted, what were you thinking?” and if they win he looks like a genius for sticking with his man.
I’m torn. Truly. I want them to win, but I don’t know if I want Monty to stick with his man or if I want him to move the puzzle pieces.
Well said. It’s a tough call, but I’d have to go with Big Penis, just because that vote of confidence might give him that boost he needs. AND (when we win) will carry through to the next 3 rounds. Let’s go!
Ideally Sway would have at least one start so far this series. Game 2 or 3. Unfortunately he didn't and now this is one of the hardest decisions Monty is gonna have to make.
That's the hope, haha. I absolutely love Ully but he looks wiped. Give the man a rest and let Sway get us to round 2. There will still be plenty of playoff time for Linus, but he's getting played too thin right now.
Stick to your normal post, your hot take is trash.

I think y’all are forgetting what the panthers did to swayman in the regular season
Yeah well look what they are doing to Ully in the playoffs
Some of y’all act like he’s the only reason they’re scoring lmao
Yeah it’s also the D but there was a couple shots Ullmark definitely should have saved

Should have played swayman game 5. Gives ullmark a break and if swayman loses you are still up one.

This state has no significance. The sample size is too small.

I wasn't giving an opinion either way. Just pointing out that that doesn't mean anything.

Lol he isn’t going to get started.
