bob_sauve28 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Pretty interesting article on the Swayman saga in Boston. The Don Sweeney clip they added is good, too. Sure hope this doesn't go well for the B's https://insidetherink.com/is-jeremy-swaymans-reputation-in-jeopardy/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres73 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Swayman is risking a lifetime of being beloved by the Bruins fanbase over his greed. Would it be worth it to not be invited to Bruins alumni events for the rest of your days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swayman told them he loved it there and wanted to be a lifer and their #1 so they committed to him with the Ullmark trade. Then Swayman (or his agent) used that as leverage. Upper management seems angry and they might have even pulled an earlier offer as a result. They're digging in and unless something changes ultimately Swayman will be traded. So yes, they've downgraded in goal and there might be an opportunity for them to fall and for teams to pass them. Maybe. The D is pretty darn good though so maybe mediocre goaltending is still enough. Hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is the Bruins, I anticipate at least 100 points in the standings, with Korpisalo, and whoever the other guy is, having an award-level season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 The Swayman thing is interesting. I follow the Bruins more than any team other than the Sabres and Leafs (used to live near Boston for a few years, have friends there, my company is still located there, etc.) and no one knows for sure what is going on. Some say the Bruins gave him an offer and pulled it after Swayman and his agent demanded a lot more. Others say the offer the Bruins gave him was 'comically low' for him (about $6m per year).Some say this is just posturing and Swayman will sign a day or two before the regular season starts for the best offer he has.

Mr Peabody Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Not sure where else to put this but listened to Donnie G on NHL Radio XM this morning. He's going to have a regular show on Tuesday mornings - not sure if he's hosting or will be a contributor to the existing morning show in a fixed time slot. Most interesting part of the interview is when he described a typical day in Buffalo as HC. A lot less on ice coaching than I could have imagined. Sounded too much administration to me but he described that as typical of today's NHL. No surprise but he's very much into the soft skills / human relations side of hockey - the Ying to a guy like Tort's Yang. Was preceded on the show by Bill Zito and they're good friends and highly respectful of each other. Lives in Buffalo and won't move until he finds an opportunity elsewhere.

He could easily be like UPL was for us last year. Korpisalo, well, Bruins fans are hoping Goalie Bob can fix him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 (edited) Not related to any league news right now but I thought this was interesting: From 1988-1998 (11 seasons), the Stanley cup was won in a 4-0 sweep 6 of the 11 years. Yeah, the cap wasn't there, but it wasn't always the same team, Only Detroit won it 2 times that way, the other 4 times were 4 different teams. (Detroit, Colorado, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and Edmonton) Since 1998, we have gone 25 seasons in a row with no sweep in the final. Tampa won it back to back. Chicago was good enough to win it 3 times in 6 seasons...but not one single sweep. Edited September 25 by mjd1001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Everybody here will be happy to know the Bruins looked like sh#te tonight and Zadorov was dreadful. Flyers on the other hand, that Michkov is really really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it was just worse than it looks, because it looks REAL bad. Doesn’t look good for sure. Then again, I recall a Sabres game a while back where Jeff Skinner looked like he hurt his knee and I feared he would be out for a while….but to my surprise he came back that same game. I’ve learned not to trust my ability to judge injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
