Sacco leaves Swayman in for 8 GA. Did he cross a line?

[Canucks LB]

Sacco wanted to pull him at 7 but Swayman wanted to hold out for 8.5

Holy shit this might go down in history

Big bad Bruins my ass
Frederic the spot picker

Agreed. Pretty lame move by Frederic fighting a total non fighter. Not to mention throwing after ko'ing the guy.

What I dont get is Lowry challenging Zadorov after. If you want to send a message that what Frederic did was unacceptable, he should have destroyed Pastrnak.

I heard he walked past Sacco to the owner and said he's not playing another game for the Bruins.

The Avs goaltending problems have been solved then

An adult must manage letting in goals. NHL is garbage when coming to pampering goalies and fights after a hit.

Say it with me class. There’s no elite goalies anymore. Shesterkin and Swayman aren’t elite like the standards of the old days. Sw8yman is just another dope who played over his head for a little time.

Differens game today, put Brodeur in todays game he would let in goals as well.

I agree 100%
They do meet up again on Jan 31st

Can someone explain how Swayman got nominated to the Four Nations all star tournament over Stolarz and Dustin Wolf?

Shut down the forum. There’s no topping this reply.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

After all that in the summer he comes out of it with an 885 save percentage… god damn

 

[TheNumber4]

Its just a business, man. And Swayman’s a businessman.

He’ll understand.

Good teams make goalies "elite" and not the other way around. Crazy how fast Sway and Ullmark went from the Jennings to the two most overrated and overpaid goalies in the league.

We really should establish a HF hall of fame for these posts.

Goalies aren’t what they used to be. That’s why any fan who advocates for 8 year contracts for goalies needs a reality check.

 

[Shark Finn]

Not every goalie is a pansy and cry’s about doing what they’re paid to do.

cries*

Goalies aren’t what they used to be. That’s why any fan who advocates for 8 year contracts for goalies needs a reality check.

And why any goalie who expects to be paid like top skaters need one too. Good luck Rangers. Sure Bob won a Cup but that was a few years removed from many fans labeling him the worst contract in the league. I bet a lot of goalies could have won the Cup with Florida last year if they'd had the chance.

Not to diminish his play in recent years because he's been great, all I'm saying is you don't need an $8-12 million goalie to win a Cup.

 

[Oddbob]

Sacco did indeed cross the line. Swayman stormed to the room and demanded a match versus Sacco at the next UFC event. If Sacco loses he has to play goal and stay in for at least 9 against.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Maybe Frederic can beat up Jack Hughes next time in response? lmao seems to like to fight the softest guys on the ice

 

[General Fanager]

The Bs are bad, its quite simple. Too bad there isn't another Jack Adams winner to blame....

Swayman has never been anything more than an elite backup for a longer stretch.

He's finding out now that it's easier to be an backup than a starter, when you face all the tough teams and your backup gets the bottom-feeders.

Swayman had 2 shutouts last season, guess against who? Sharks and Blackhawks.
