Jeremy Swayman just dropped one of the hardest quotes of 2024
The NHL's new Docu-series on Amazon "Face-off" has given us some great quotes and material about the Boston Bruins.
On the doc-series, it included Jeremy Swayman who had recounted last year's arbitration.
It sounds more or less like him saying he "took it personally" as MJ did on "The Last Dance".
Swayman, after his star turn in the playoffs, on the arbitration process and the bad blood it engenders: «The arbitrator on their side, their job is to rip players. Hearing you're not worthy of what you think you're worthy of, that was hard to hear. You don't forget what was said. I wrote them down and I looked at them the other day, and I had a couple checkmarks. My biggest knock was how I wasn't trustworthy in playoffs. Check.» Swayman also points to Tkachuk as someone he admires. «He wills his team to win games. I want to be like that.»
He did prove himself in our opinion, with a 25-10-8 record, 2.53 GAA, and .916 save percentage in 2023-2024.
If anything, he went above and beyond for the playoffs, despite being let down, after the Bruins lost the series to the Florida Panthers.
He produced a 6-6-0 record, with a 2.15 GAA, and a .933 save percentage, he literally kept the Bruins in the hunt despite the team doing their best and still falling to make it past the 2nd round.
He even showed a measure of self-confidence we've now seen before since he's usually so reserved with the media in the series:
Swayman: «We don't have to shy away from it. There's a contract on the line. I'm gonna be a motherf-er in the net.»
If anything he knew he was the Bruins guy, and he's right to be as confident as he should be.
But with the actions of Don Sweeney and Jeremy Jacobs, it's difficult to see an end to the stand-off.
Hopefully one day we'll see Swayman in the net again for the Bruins, while the front office hangs their head in shame as they should.
