<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>Well you see when we signed Ullmark, swayman was a rookie and rask had a high chance of not returning so of course we were gonna sign a vet goalie to help him. We knew Ullmark was good but did we expect him to become a Vezina nominee. No we didn’t, yes Swayman has his kinks but he is a great goalie and is only 24 it just sucks for him that a guy also in his spot was Arguably the best goalie this year.


Use your head and do your research before talking.

Funny how you make it seem like swayman doesn’t play much lol considering since we signed Ullmark, swayman still has started 47% of the games.

He was even the better goalie in 21-22</div></div>

I am well aware of both swayman game log from both years.

I am just poking holes in your argument.

And as a buffalo fan I watched a lot of Ullmark, love him and I think he's good. But him being a Veinza goalie kinda proves everyone's point, that the goalies in bostons system are skewed to being better than they actually are. Boston is by far the best defensive in the league and it boosts their stats.

You've brought GSAx but a pretty logical explanation for their increased GSAx is a smaller sample size.

If boston is only giving up 4 quality chances a night then their goalie making 4/4 saves boosts their gsax. Compare that to a goalie like merzilikens who faced 10 quality chances a night and went 7/10 dropping is gsax.

Numbers start the story but don't totally explain it, there is still a large subjective matter when it comes to sports analytics.
