I'm so glad after the start he had and difficulties of last year, dudes coming out and killing it this year.

Very clear that Brady was bad for his mental health

[u/vafrow → u/Johnehood]

We were probably well past the point of no return at that point, but Brady inviting his dad on his podcast to mock Ullmark is one of the most cowardly acts as captain that he had.

[u/Realistic-Goose6798 → u/Johnehood]

He was bad for all of our mental heath.

[u/278925 → u/Johnehood]

Brady is just a 3rd liner that was wasting 1st line minutes in Ottawa.

[u/Armonasch → u/Johnehood]

Leafs fan here, checking in as a (mostly) impartial observer.

This seems to absolutely have been the case and its clear to outside observers as well. If Brady was letting go his family publicly talk shit about his own goalie (and also not cutting that out of his podcast, which he could have done) - I can only imagine what things were like in that dressing room.

I'm no stranger to being a fan of a team with a toxic locker room (at times) and it absolutely has a big effect. Especially with something like goaltending which is already an individual position that can feel isolating at times.

Even though they beat the Leafs, I'm happy to see Ottawa and Ulmark doing so well to start the year, because what he was doing (publicly sewering his own teammates in the media) is some coward-ass shitbird behavior.

[u/ouattedephoqueeh → u/Johnehood]

I'd love to hear from the staff, owner, GM and players in say... two years' time... How improved the mental health, wellbeing and atmosphere of the team is after Trady's departure.

I'm biased - I suspect it'll be much improved. But I'd love to see facts to back up my assumptions.

[u/Playingwithmywenis → u/Johnehood]

Addition by subtraction.

Good on ownership for doing the right thing.

[u/spartacat_12 → u/Johnehood]

I mean he played well in the playoffs while Brady was still around. I think his mental health stuff is more complicated than just not liking one guy

Protect Ully at all costs. Both he and us as a collective market have so much to prove going forward.

[u/casetractor]

I have a lot of respect for him when we got swept during the last playoffs, he played so well despite everything. Im glad to see him doing well now!

[u/Action1988]

Who's the goalie in 1st for Save% and GAA Jesus christ lol

[u/Canadiangoat15 → u/Action1988]

Probably Oettinger in Dallas. He’s had a great start, too

[u/SmileRemarkable8876]

Numbers aside he's looking so much better in net. It seemed like when he was struggling he couldn't move well side to side. Or even get up. But he looks like a brick wall right now. 

[u/Late-Wolverine7679]

I hope he makes the save of the year against Brady on the 21st

[u/roscomikotrain]

Ottawa dominated that game and easily could have scored a few more

[u/278925 → u/roscomikotrain]

The shots do not reflect that statement. Ottawa had a lot of possession due to powerplays but I wouldn't say they were dominant. They were scrambling and Ullmark was good. I'm all for the win but it was also against a backup.

[u/doubleopinter]

He’s been excellent.

[u/11elixis28]

Erson totally messed us up tonight

[u/Tricky-Section4416]

Who's first in save percentage?

[u/thundergundong → u/Tricky-Section4416]

Oettinger

[u/golden_macaron]

And we got 3 first round picks for him. Turned into Eklund, Cover and Lagerberg Hoen. I'm feeling real good about that return.

Man get this ai slop bullshit outta here

[u/008i → u/fiasn]

It might be a real pic

[u/Swammer13 → u/Truth_Breaker]

If you're going to post this at least call him Linus Wallmark

[u/Silence069 → u/Swammer13]

Underrated comment!

[u/Confident_Access8540 → u/Truth_Breaker]

I liked this one dunno why u recieved so much hate for it

[u/G-Man-1976 → u/Confident_Access8540]

It's the Canadian way of rebelling against our new AI Overlords.
