After a dreadful season in Boston, Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman definitely thought accepting an invite to represent Team USA at the 2025 IIHF World Championships would be a breath of fresh air-- and it's been quite the opposite.
Swayman, who recently signed a new deal on October 6, 2024, which expires at the end of the 2031-32 season, when Swayman will be 33 years old, nearly coughed up one of the worst games in IIHF history.
Team Norway, who is known to be bottom-seeded competitiors at the international level, somehow managed to score five goals on eighteen shots on goal against Team USA on Tuesday.
And of course, Jeremy Swayman was in goal.
While former Boston Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark flourishes with Team Sweden after his elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, after a tough series loss in the Battle of Ontario series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, his former 'hug buddy' is being clobbered by weak competition.
A undrafted 19-year old player who has yet to lace up his skates in a National Hockey League game, Stian Solberg, managed to bury three goals on Swayman.
What a comeback. Stian Solberg has scored a hat-trick and Norway makes it 5-5.
It was 5-1. What a game.
Solberg is having a night to remember

Solberg wasn't the only Norwegian to have his fun, as two other players managed to get on the scoresheet, totalling an embarrassing five goals on 18 shots against Jeremy Swayman.

In what many thought would be a healthy step away from the NHL after a dreadful season in Boston, has quickly taken a turn for the worst for Swayman.
We can only hope USA finishes strong, and Swayman returns back to peak form.
