Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Y'all needed Swayman playing like a god to eek out a game 7 OT win from a Leafs team missing half it's core the entire series. If this is plan, please feel free to try it.

Tavares Marner Reilly played all 7.

Nylander missing 2 and Matthews missing 3 is the Leafs "missing half its core for the entire series"?

Give me a break lmao.

Maybe your core is just not good.

I mean they were missing them for 5 out of 7 games so yeah? And when they did play, they played injured in Matthews case in game 7 (and still got a primary assist)

Oh its not "the plan", I just thought it was a cool stat.

Health obviously played a factor in the Leafs losing the series. But, don't see a list of defenders for the Bruins "choking" against Florida the year before when Bergeron and Krejci missed half the series. It's part of playoff hockey. Especially the further you go.

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Boston is not playing either of those guys in a playoff game and everyone knows that

Korpi is not the long-term answer but does own a .922 SV% in 15 playoff games.

1 year 8.5M is my guess

Might as well deal him then.

 

[um]

Injuries are a part of the playoffs. It's one of many reasons you need lot's of depth to win it all.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I still think he is fine with a bridge. But the Bruins want him locked into a long (and reasonable) deal.

Thinking the longer we go. The more likely it’s 3x8.5-9M

 

[Captain97]

It’s very different. No one is walking thru the door offering a two first, 2nd and 3rd offersheet.

I'm pretty sure a team could offer ~9 million on 5 years or less and it be only 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

Matthews has a chronic case of Shitthebeditis every spring, yes.

Yeah sorry, I jumped ahead on reasoning there. I would assume Bruins would match at that level unless it was something silly like an SJ or Chicago 1st. Angrily.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Let’s be clear here, I respect the tradition of Boston having a great defensive foundation that inflates goalies performance, but I’d be shitting bricks if Korpisalo was my goalie. They have to get this guy signed to do anything. And that’s the leverage.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

He has the Bruins by the balls right now and is letting them simmer in the pressure cooker hoping he gets a call soon to come to camp and sign the deal that gets him there

That sounds painful

Are you ok?

Swayman was the difference (which some bruins fans dont want to acknowledge based on this thread) but I really dont think you are living in reality with some of your leafs propaganda.

8X8 with a salary structure that buys the RFA years lower increasing into UFA.

 

[TD Charlie]

Imagine being a Leafs fan, and entering a Bruins thread to talk shit rather than call them Daddy.

 

[Bast]

Classic case of fans of other teams jumping through hoops to dump on the Bruins. This isn’t going to be the year they fall off and miss the playoffs no matter how badly you want it to happen

 

[Idiot Stick]

this is all super hilarious but then boston will magically hit like 110 points and korpi is like 2nd in vezina voting by the end

 

[HockeyVirus]

Swayman was the difference (which some bruins fans dont want to acknowledge based on this thread) but I really dont think you are living in reality with some of your leafs propaganda.

Which part of what I said was incorrect? Leafs were also missing their starting goalie for game 7

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

You know people should fight for what they deserve and if Swayman thinks he's worth 10 million then He should fight for his beliefs.

And if Don thinks he's worth 6 million then he should fight for 6 million.

Because It's the right thing to do, NEVER give up on your beliefs

What was that injury again? The clap?
