Just finished watching 2nd and 3rd this morning. Don’t know why I feel compelled to watch every minute of the season :skeptic: Swayman becoming a clown show in addition to not being able to stop pucks. Probably would have gotten pummeled if the refs let that happen. Personally I think he was trying to get tossed. Just get on with the death march.
Red Sox opening day on Thursday:towel:
 
Is Swayman trying to act like Jordan Binnington?
Not a good look

The end is near friends. Ride out the next few weeks…..get ready for Montreal and Toronto to lose in round one 😂😂😂 and with the warm weather on the way there are better days ahead……because this cannot get any worse!

I seriously do hope Swayman has some soul searching after this year. He needs to come back as a leader not a side show next year and stop pucks. Period. Too much ink about other things for him 👎
 
You’re a smart guy and I guarantee could come up with minimum three significant differences between the two situations

I think Zadorov should keep his yap shut quite frankly if he's got nothing good to say about his own teammate to the media. Once again, what does Zadorov have to be pissed at Swayman about? Zadorov got paid too. The Russian turnover machine leading the D-corps in giveaways.
 
The elephant in the room. We aren't allowed to bring it up but what is the biggest division in our lives right now? I don't believe for a second that it isn't affecting the room, just like the rest of the world. I have said that in the past and people just don't want to believe it.
 
Folks relax. Double up on meds if watching the Bruins

This is a 30 day tank to get Desnoyers or Frondell or McQueen etc

Celtics did it, Red Sox did it, Patriots did it ….teams do it

It will be over in 3 weeks and we will know our pick

I suggest not watching and pretending their is honor in this shit

It’s all about the best opportunity to get a high pick
McKenna too please

Knowing old DS he will probably pick another 4th liner or a designated AHL player. Selecting during the draft is not his forte.
 
I think this goes beyond money. There is something seriously wrong between Swayman and the team. I think it’s beyond his holdout. Be it attitude. Be it taking responsibility. I don’t know. But there is a clear divide between him and the team.
Trade him at the draft

We won’t win the cup in 26 either and Korps/ Bussi/ Dipietro will manage

Worse case we lose an extra three games over the season

We want McKenna and we’re set for another decade +

How bout the rooms in Washington, Vegas, Florida, Winnipeg, Colorado, Toronto, and the likes?

LOS ANGELES — Jeremy Swayman was fighting mad Sunday night. The Bruins goalie also was fighting the puck.

The Kings beat up on the punchless Bruins, sending Boston to its sixth straight loss, 7-2, at Crypto.com Arena.

Swayman attempted to get his teammates going by challenging fellow goalie Darcy Kuemper after a second-period crease crash, but it never materialized, much like Boston’s offense the last half dozen games.
Kuemper ripped Marat Khusnutdinov’s helmet off after the collision and Swayman took exception.

Swayman charged out of his crease and shed his mask, glove, and blocker. Kuemper was ready to oblige, and it looked like a goalie fight was on before officials thought better of it and quashed it — much to the chagrin of the goalies, and the crowd.

“He touched one of my guys and I think that was something that I’m not going to accept and kudos to [Kuemper]. He stepped up. Just, it got broken up,” said Swayman. “I think it just comes down to sticking up for my teammates. I don’t care who it is, it’s a guy in the Black and Gold. You’re not going to touch him without getting contested. And I care about every one of these guys like a brother, and that’s just the way I felt and felt like it was my turn to step up.”

Nikita Zadorov, who has dropped the gloves on multiple occasions this season in defense of his teammates, had an interesting take when asked if he appreciated Swayman doing the same.

“Is that what that was? I don’t know,” said the defenseman. “No comment.”

The gesture failed to spark the Bruins, who trailed, 3-2, at the time of the kerfuffle midway through the second before giving up four straight goals.

“I mean everything goes in. It’s embarrassing, obviously, how many times we get beat by teams that score goals on us this year, so it’s definitely unacceptable,” said Zadorov.

Mikey Anderson landed a big shot from the point that Swayman stopped. The rebound bounced to Drew Doughty, who came in uncovered and lofted an off-speed shot — a knuckler perhaps? — to make it 3-2.

That’s when tempers flared, and the Bruins offense was left punchless. Andrei Kuzmenko made it 4-2 at the end of the second, and Quinton Byfield, Tanner Jeannot, and Samuel Helenius scored in the third while the Bruins mustered just one shot on net — a Parker Wotherspoon effort 3:28 in.

“I want to give this team a chance to win every night, and I haven’t done that in the last two games, so that’s something that I’m going to work on,” said Swayman, asked if he is, indeed, fighting the puck. “I’m not giving up. I’m keeping my chin up.

“I’m not getting the results right now, but I owe these guys better. I owe a hell of a lot of people a lot better and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”

Looks like Swayman had some real motivation to get that contract done and signed, before Cam and Sweeney got a look at him in the number one goalie role.
yikes
 
As always the NHL takes the only wrong response to a situation. Allow the goalie fight instead of fearful protection of the goalies. A boost in ratings hardly hurts.

LA was looking for a fight the entire shift which is what Swayman likely acted on. Swayman the goalie has hardly been useful this season but I roll my eyes at any outrage at Swayman leaving the crease. The contact was absolutely minimal by Khustodinov, no need for Kuemper's tantrum.

Similar to the game when collectively Bruins fans gasped in outrage over Frederic fighting a non fighter, Zadorov fighting Lowey, etc in a blowout loss.

Team desperately needs emotion and an attempt at showing they are proud to be a Bruin. Good for Swayman to react.

I think Zadorov should keep his yap shut quite frankly if he's got nothing good to say about his own teammate to the media. Once again, what does Zadorov have to be pissed at Swayman about? Zadorov got paid too. The Russian turnover machine leading the D-corps in giveaways.
Odd response by Zadorov. Feels as though he was literally trying to create an issue. Perhaps it is just his competitiveness and having just lost a game 7-2, so no urgency to say something positive. Highly doubtful the players don't appreciate the Swayman response, they would have preferred saves and a win. Nothing more than that.

Thankfully this is the West coast stretch and it is easy to turn the games off these days. Play with pride and physicality for the rest of the season while the likes of Brown wastes time on the ice and helps the draft pick.

Next year there better be a new plan, new GM, and new coaches.

I have not seen the quotes but this does not surprise me. Zadorov should be upset with Sieveman, but he tends to shoot off his mouth.

Edit: just read the quote and that's not good.
 
Cam needs to swallow his pride and go on Felger & Mazz and say something.

Don't let Charlie near a microphone because a few weeks ago he said 'We look at success as Stanley Cup wins.'. In 51 years of Jacobs ownership that number is ONE.

Sacco is gone but who do they hire to coach?

I don't have answers right now.
If I were Cam, I wouldn't go on 98.5 except maybe the Sat morning show. Felger and Mazz know nothing about hockey and have said they hate the sport.

Too bad there isn't a real sports radio for hockey.
