Player Discussion VIDEO: Swayman/Sweeney Following Contract Extension

[EverettMike]

Yeah his bulldog mentality is nowhere to be found right now. He's been shelled three times already, and the more goals that go in the less it looks like he's turning in the effort. It's pretty scary.

I think he's got a quicksand problem and I'm not even joking. The worse the team in front of him plays, or the worse the game is going, the worse he plays. It's why he's typically giving up his worst, most unforgivable goals on the 4th, 5th, or later goal and not the first one he gives up. The more things go to shit the shittier he plays. He's completely lost his confidence in multiple games and once that happens he's physically shrinking in net like he's shellshocked.

He's never had to deal with anything like this in his career and he's not responding well. Considering he also missed all of camp but still immediately took on a full workload as the #1, and gets all the "hard" games when the whle roster looks like shit, and it's a full-fledged f***ing disaster.

Long term I 100% think he'll be fine. I have some fear this whole season might already be lost for him.
