Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

F*** NO. If someone offered a top 10 pick, you could make the argument, but F** no



Coming into this season he was 79-33- 15, with a GAA average around .917 and a GAA around 2.4. This after being the best goaltender in college hockey during his career. He dominated the AHL in the couple dozen games he played at that level.

Everything about his history prior to last postseason pointed to him being someone who would be a top 5-7 goaltender in the league for the length of the new contract. And then he backed it up with a stand on his head performance in postseason.

I don't know why he has failed to perform this year. Some of it is clearly the team in front of him, especially given the defense they have had to play since Lindholm (and later McAvoy) went out. But he was off his game from his first game this year.

Maybe this is the new norm and Swayman will never again be the same player that was indicated by the previous 7 years of his hockey career. But is is absurd to say he got his contract because he had a few good weeks in the playoffs

He got $8.25M without ever being a clear cut starting goalie. The numbers are fine, but he was doing split duty playing 40ish games a year. Those numbers are likely different if he’s starting 4-5 straight in a row.

And yes, I do think he got paid because he had a good post season. I don’t get how that is absurd? Management was thinking “hmm, looks like he can start more than 2 straight games”

Do you think he’s worth his price tag? Like I said, if you’re holding out and missing camp because you think you deserve more money, you sure as f*** need to step up and play like it. He hasn’t.

Swayman doing those goalie hugs did not look like a guy with a bad attitude.The Bruins give him and his agent the keys to the vault and some fans don't like it because other stars took less to play here.He filled his bank account ,good for him .

The team especially the last couple of month have been hot garbage. But Sway has been inconsistent. There are nights he looks like himself. Nights he is completely under siege and really has no chance. then there are days he gives up 2-3 wtf goals.

I mean, that's been his issue his whole career. Playing good for a few games, and just as everyone is thinking he's turning the corner and taking the reigns he has a lousy game where he looks disinterested, sloppily holding the post or completely missing the read on the pass to the more dangerous slot or just going shooter tutor and not fighting to see in traffic.

At the end of last season, I was ready to trade him but said you had to start him in the playoffs to.see if he could do it. And against Toronto, it looked like he had grown up. He was stellar and locked in each game. But in Florida, he wasn't bad, but he wasn't stellar either, just good.

And once the spell of the Toronto series wore off, and looking at this roster, I felt it was the prime time to trade him. Get something decent for this roster and resign Ullmark for 4 more years to bridge the very obvious retool gap in the prospects pool.

And now, he's everything I feared. Good for a few games, and then just lousy and disinterested. We cheer korpi who clearly not as talented cause he fights and battles and dives across the crease for pucks he knows he can't get to, but he tries anyways. Swayman doesn't really have that in his game. And that hurts to watch, especially with a rebuilding team
