I believe Matthew's widow is also pregnant. Really sad stuff. Hope that drunk driver gets the book thrown at him.

Have you ever played goalie in beer league? It's constant 2 and 3 on 0's. The 5th rebound was bound to go in a couple times.
He knew what he was getting into hence his "play some defense chirp before the game" haha.

Dude loves his 87. Hopefully Bedard is as sentimental for 9.8.

Swayman is a fool. No team is going to pay him an 8 year, $9.5m AAV deal. He's going to sit out for nothing as I don't see the Bruins FO bending to this especially since he's not proven much.
-Vasilevskiy finished 3rd and 1st in Vezina voting the years before his contract was signed. He finished 3rd that season the deal was inked. He's won 2 Cups and had a Vezina runner-up season since then.
-Bobrovsky won 2 Vezina's, had a top 3 and top 5 Hart season before his big contract. He finished 3rd in Vezina voting this year and was awesome in a Cup run. Outside of this season that contract has hardly been worth it.
-Hellebuyck had a Vezina win and finishes of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in Vezina voting before his deal. He won a Vezina last year.
Swayman had a career high of 43 starts last year and a top7 Vezina finish. He wants an elite contract because of what, a Jennings trophy that he only played 40% of the games for? GTFO. He'd have to be a regular top 3 Vezina threat and a playoff monster for that deal to be worth it and he hasn't proven that ability yet whatsoever.

Sweeney and B's are fools here IMO
- Didn't gauge contract expectations before moving Ullmark
- Took on that horrible Korpisalo deal in Ullmark trade
- Sweeney using press as tool in his negotiation and now upset the other side is doing same
Sweeney has done a pretty piss poor job after inheriting core he failed to build around. His drafting especially the failure in 2015 has largely failed to build a supporting core with just a couple hits
Now going into first months of season potentially with Korpisalo as your #1 goalie may very well sink B's season

Yup, Swayman has the Bruins by the balls. Especially if the Bruins start the season with goaltending sinking them.

It all depends on the dollars Swayman is looking for. If he's looking to reset the goalie market he's in the wrong. If he's asking for term and the Bruins are trying to squeeze him I get why he's upset.
