The tweet boldly claims that Ullmark, despite the widespread acclaim, falls short of the "elite" status attributed to him and cannot be considered the best goalie in the league.
According to the tweet's author, Ullmark's impressive numbers this season were merely a result of the impeccable defense that supported him. The tweet proposes that Sorokin is more deserving of the prestigious Vezina Trophy.
However, let's examine the facts objectively. Ullmark, undoubtedly the Vezina winner, undeniably played a vital role in the historic success of the stacked Boston Bruins team.
With a remarkable record of 40-6-1, an impressive 1.89 goals-against average (GAA), and an outstanding .938 save percentage (SV%), Ullmark topped the league in every statistical category. Game after game, Ullmark proved his mettle by consistently bailing out the Bruins with phenomenal saves.
While it's true that Ullmark had a solid defense backing him, it would be unjust to discredit his individual brilliance. His exceptional performance between the pipes was instrumental in propelling the team to their incredible year.
