During a power play in overtime, Brock Boeser scored his second goal of the game to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
Ryan Whitney, a former NHL player, made a daring statement on Twitter about the Boston Bruins’ goaltender situation. Whitney pushed for the trade of goaltender Linus Ullmark, who is now on a heavy four-year, $20 million contract signed on July 28, 2021, and urged the Bruins to act decisively.
Whitney commanded, “Trade Ullmark immediately.” “The only possibility of receiving something useful that could aid in their cup victory. Give the net to Swayman and spend your one and only resource to get a player or two. He’s the man right now.”
Whitney cited a post by Derek Johnson, suggesting that both fans and analysts are debating the goalie controversy.
In light of the recent uncertainty surrounding netminding, Johnson poses the topic of whether the Bruins should choose a permanent starting goalie going forward. This supports Whitney’s claim that one of the most important things the Bruins can do to steady their play is to find a legitimate number-one goalie.
In overtime, Brock Boeser defeats the Boston Bruins.
The Boston Bruins were defeated 3-2 by the Vancouver Canucks after an incredible comeback led by Brock Boeser, who scored his second goal on a power play in overtime.
“Perhaps the bench would have looked a little different in the final three or four games, banging sticks and whatnot. That wasn’t what I saw tonight. Even though we were behind 2-0, there was no frustration, according to coach Rick Tocchet.
With three assists, J.T. Miller contributed significantly and extended his point run to four games. Tocchet gave Miller acclaim, stating:
“Millsy made the game happen. He had an amazing third period.
25 seconds after Boston’s overtime too-many-men penalty, Boeser scored the game-winning goal.
The Bruins lost in overtime for the second straight game and are now tied with the Rangers for first place in the Eastern Conference with 81 points.
“It produced a lot of really good things,” goalie Jeremy Swayman stated.
Goals from Danton Heinen, Jesper Boqvist of Boston, and Filip Hronek of Vancouver helped the Canucks snap a four-game losing streak and hold a commanding lead in the NHL standings with 82 points.
Even though we were losing, Miller felt that for 60 minutes straight, we outperformed one of the top teams in the league.
