Player Discussion VIDEO: Swayman/Sweeney Following Contract Extension

[Grimey]

Glad he signed but I can’t sleep at night knowing Cam said $64 M and Frank Cirelli said $62.8.

Frank Cirelli lol

Seravalli is punching air right now

I’ve come to the conclusion after watching the amazon thing that he’s not douchy, he’s just really weird.

The combination of goalie weird and alaskan weird (no offense to any alaskans in here) make it seem like someone who thinks they need say and act a certain way that just comes off as a little off putting.

I believe he is naive...He is young. Sway is/was loved by the fans before he really did much to deserve that love. I hope he plays well enough to keep those fans.

I will be cheering for him.

How much do you think the hugs ended up earning him?

What a douche to start out his post lockout preamble with the Huberdeau stuff. Sleezy media training from his agent. Guy comes across as either the dumb village idiot or the douche sycophant. Disturbing to not know which and know hi is the N 1 for the next 8 years for the franchise. So much for building a roster with character…. Should have had the balls to say he was pusîng to reset the market and at least own it. More respect for the truth than his gimmick responses.

What's the Huberdeau stuff?

 

[duffy]

It was Gaudreau not Huberdeau but you nailed it otherwise! Was always a Bruins team fan, not a player fan , although I always liked Swagman since the draft. Sweeney should have held firm on the 8 million as long as Swaymen was signed before the start of the season, if not the AAV drops to 7 million and if not signed by Dev 1 he can sit for the year and pick his preferred trade destination for next year. The only Bruin I was disappointed that was traded was ORR and was even more disappointed when I found out he was offered more from the Bs. I am sure, from this point on that the Bruins will avoid players with this agent like the plague!

Not sure ..but pretty sure it was Linus who started the hugs.

People are just confusing Huberdeau with Gaudreau here (I believe).


That presser, wow. Sway was a level of cringe you don't often see. I PRAY for this kid to come out like a bat out of hell and be lights out. The alternative will be full Jack Campbell otherwise.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

Perfect. As long as the other city wasn't Toronto.

He may have taken business classes at the University of Maine, but it sounds like he sure did take public speaking courses at Harvard

When we first play Ottawa...any chance Sway and Linus hug at the end?

probably not

Yeah I dunno if the reference to Gaudreau was disingenuous or not, because I don’t know how well he knew him or not, and not knowing I’m prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on it. But I did find some other aspects of it rather cringeworthy, not the least of which was a prevailing smirk. I also heard a great many references to “love”. Well newsflash, son, you can’t serve two masters.

Years ago, when Tyler Seguin was on the Bs ...He and Brad were always the last ones off the ice after the pre-game skate.

The first time Tyler returned (with Dallas) both were the last ones on the ice. They looked at each other and skated off the ice. Brad looked sad.

I know it is life as a hockey player, but I am sure there are times when it is difficult to have a good friend move on to another team.

 

[Bocephus86]

Not sure where else to put this but I just got through episode 3 of the Amazon Prime NHL show (the Swayman episode) and his dad seems like an awesome guy. Swayman himself comes across great too, but seeing how his dad is explains a lot of that. There is far more to it for sure, but it certainly makes me comfortable giving a long term contract to a guy that seems that normal & grounded.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

OK. I like him again.......

 

[Boston BROin]

Just watched the press conference. People really had a problem with that? Jeeze, man, fans are brutal. He said all the right stuff, came across just fine. He's happy to be here and wants to win a Cup.

Fans want him at 7 mil.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

There was nothing wrong with that, but he is getting more, so time to move on.
He got what he wanted, now it's time for him to live up to it!.

 

[chizzler]

Gross orchestrated a lot of things. Presser one of many.

[nORRis8]

OK Sway you got your money. Now, prove that you're worth it because God knows you didn't do enough to earn it outright.

Yes
I'm anxious to see how much better a 8.25 goalie is v 3.475 one is.

 

[LSCII]

Fans want him at 7 mil.

Why do you care?

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Why do people think that was cringe?

Only thing cringe was DuPont? trying to ask him stupid questions.

Love he started off with a "f***" under this breath, it's good to be back haha

 

[Kegs]

Why do you care?

I don’t really care. But if I did it would be because there is a strict salary cap. I don’t think I’ve complained anywhere. I was just saying…
