Linus Ullmark calls his GOALIE GOAL "a dream come true" | Bruins Postgame Interview

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Linus Ullmark had always dreamed of scoring a goal and now that dream has become a reality. The Boston Bruins goalie scored the first goal of his career and first "goalie goal" in Boston Bruins History after he fired a shot into an empty net with 48 seconds remaining in a 3-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.
The Vezina Trophy front-runner stopped a rolling puck just below the faceoff circle, set up and wristed a shot toward the empty Vancouver net. The Swedish goaltender's shot landed between the Canucks faceoff circles and bounced in at 19:12 of the third period to give the Bruins a 3-1 lead.
"It's one of the dreams I always had that I wanted to score a goal," Ullmark said after the game.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the definition of humble yet happy. He didn't even realize he hit 30 wins for his season. What does he do, he contributes it to his team, that's a team player.

Thank you Bruins Rinkside for bringing back player interviews! Go Ully! 🐻❤️

I’m a Habs fan but I am so happy for Ullmark! Goalie goals are the best!

[@BostonIce37]

Thank you for that. 🥰

[@oiseaubleu3312]

@@BostonIce37 Of course! Our teams may be rivals but goalie goals for any team are the best thing ever :)

[@BostonIce37]

Listen to the crowd. They are in Vancouver, not Boston, and it’s so loud. A goalie scoring transcends team rivalries. It so rare everyone wants to see it! Ullmark is having such a great season it’s the perfect icing on the cake for him.

[@unwoundsteak17]

yeah but it also helps that most of the time bruins tickets are so expensive that it's the same price to fly to an away game, so a lot of bruins fans do that

[@BostonIce37]

Ok I am a Blues fan but you have to call out above and beyond..this is it.

Same. I screamed and ran. 😂

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Best player the Bs picked up the past few years. Absolute game changer goalie. Lights out this year. Keep it up Ullmark

[@BostonIce37]

As in “THE” Gary Bettman??!! So cool of you to comment on that!

[@Marquuus]

Miss him terribly in his home team MoDo. He was outstanding here as well, and I'm so very happy to see him excel in the big leagues.

[@daryljohnson6738]

This has to be a contender for the best season a goalie has ever had. .944 SV%, 30-4-0-1 record, 1.89 GAA in 37 games, I don't remember any goalie putting up stats like this.

[@michaelcalland801]

When I read your post I thought “No Way”…so I had to look it up… Closest I could find was Hasek in 98’ - Tim Thomas in 2010 - Bernie Parent in 73 - Martin Brodeur in 06’ - Carey Price in 2014’ If he keeps the Save % & GAA where it’s at & gets his Win Total into the 40’s then agree … Greatest Statistical Season Ever !

Only one Bruins goalie has reached 40 wins in one season. That was Pete Peter's 40 years ago. He also had 8 shutouts that season. Can Ullmark reach 40??

congratulations linus. I apologize for the bruins fair-weather fans that trashed you last season. They'll trash you again the next time you let a goal in. Thanks for this interview-can't find it anyplace else

"Ully"? That's a feminine name for all I know - I never understood why North Americans are so desperate to give silly nicknames to athletes. Is it because their names are too hard to pronounce?

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

Congratulations Linus! Many happy returns of the day...hope you can make another one or two more in your professional career. Goalie goals are the best, and yours was dead on in the middle of the net. Panthers fan, but love to see good goalie play no matter the team.

[@johnshields6852]

It's not about one or two 50 goal scorers, it's about balance, depth, guys who play great 2way hockey, backchecking, solid D not giving up oddman rushes, especially 2 on 1's, winning the little 50/50 puck battles.

[@leemark63]

We had a goalie with the same name in Buffalo once.

[@gtd9536]

My Rangers need to trade for this guy because this guy can play D and score. We'll give the Bruins 5 first round picks if we can have him until the end of the year. :)

[@milesdufourny4813]

Wishful thinking, the Rangers need some defensemen who play defense instead of puck watching.

[@kmanutoob]

Didn't he do well in that weird goalie event at the skills competition, too? Shot the puck the length of the ice into the target. Or am I thinking of someone else?

I’ve been a diehard bleed black and gold Bruins fan since 1980. I have never seen a group of players as special as this group. They were so happy for Ullie and wanted him to go through the cellie line. I especially like that Sways sways smile was as big as big as the guy who scored the goal!!M 🏒🏒🏒🏒

[@munkustrap2]

I've been watching since 70's...& though those guys would bleed for each other, & did, I have to agree, there's something special about this team & their interactions with each other.
