Controversial Take On The Bruins Goaltending Tandem
The 2023-24 season for the Boston Bruins stirs a range of expectations among fans, from playoff aspirations to concerns about offseason changes. To achieve success, the Bruins are banking on their dynamic goalie duo, Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman, both of whom could contend for the Vezina Trophy this season.
Why Ullmark's Vezina Hopes Persist
\Linus Ullmark's phenomenal 2022-23 season sets a high bar, but he shouldn't be overlooked for this year's Vezina Trophy. His prior stats, a 40-6-1 record, a 1.89 GAA, and a .938 SV%, underscore his game-changing potential. While duplicating those numbers is a formidable challenge, a .925 SV% and a 2.10 GAA could put him in Vezina contention if the Bruins perform well in the regular season.
Ullmark's impressive start in the 2023-24 season, where he faced off against the Chicago Blackhawks, indicates his potential for another outstanding year.
Swayman's Vezina Prospects
Jeremy Swayman, often in Linus Ullmark's shadow, played a pivotal role last season, contributing to the Bruins' William M. Jennings Trophy win. With a record of 24-6-4, a 2.27 GAA, and a .920 SV%, he ranked among the NHL's premier goaltenders in 2022-23. As a young talent entering his fourth NHL season at 24, Swayman could reach the elite tier of NHL goalies with added experience.
While we await Swayman's debut in the 2023-24 season, his consistent regular-season performance suggests further success in the upcoming campaign.
