Jeremy Swayman Choked Up Talking About Bruins 4-3 Overtime Loss to Panthers | Bruins Postgame

BOSTON, MA -- Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was very emotional talking about the Bruins 4-3 overtime loss the the Florida Panthers.

[@n.king15]

They hung this man out to dry in overtime.

[@ac4524]

They also hung Ullmark out to dry all series

[@n.king15]

​@@ac4524 true. Some of the sloppiest defensive hockey I've ever seen that lasted an entire series.

[@ac4524]

@@n.king15 and what’s crazy is how stacked our d core is. With guys like Lindholm, Mcavoy, Orlov and some of the others, it just shouldn’t happen. We score 4, 5, 6 goals a game and can’t win?

[@davidselawsky6620]

Yep. Played well in OT. Def blew it in first period w that softervthan charmin goal. 3rd period choke as well. Smh. Ut ullmark should have started unlesd he was hurt. Every goal counts kid. Next year if...if we even make playoffs maybe you can stop one xtra goal that we woukd have needed. I feel your pain but the season was a failure, just like this series. Lets not sugar coat this loss, own it, chew on it and get better and tell the damn #1 Defense in NHL they Choked badly. Next year young man.

[@kevinbryan4215]

@@davidselawsky6620 Ullmark was clearly rattled in game 6 so I’d have to disagree that he should have started tonight. Swayman made some pretty incredible saves tonight despite the defence not being on their A game. I’d say Swayman was the right choice even if it took a period to knock the rust off. Hopefully next season will be better

[@wonder_9315]

Florida fan here, Swayman was doing the lords work out there tonight. Boston defense just wasn’t there to give him a hand, he doesn’t deserve the shit he’s getting for this. Great guy

[@2enthusiast4]

Exactly! I thought he was going to get destroyed but performed amazing! Panthers literally clawed apart the bruins in OT. Swayman was just a victim of the bruins giving the panthers those opportunities. Hellebuyck looked so bad against the knights but it was the jets who failed him.

[@guyjerry]

You’re 100% correct. The defense as a whole was off the entire series - nothing like the accomplished team they were all season. Neither Sway nor ullmark or any other goalie should be expected to be a one-man defense. How many time can the defense pass to Florida’s forwards before a hole is found?

You had an remarkable season Jeremy. It's extremely difficult coming into a game 7 like this having not played for a while. I can't even imaging the pressure you were under. Despite the loss, you still had a fantastic game and came up with some key saves. You can't be expected to do it all.

[@soldierinadream9380]

He played so well tonight and it’s so sad to see him like this.this was probably his last game as a Bruin, we can’t pay him #1 goalie money and if another team is willing to pay him that, I would judge him for wanting to take it. That game could’ve ended sooner on Tkachuk’s breakaway but he blocked it, absolutely incredible work this kid has done. We really should have played him sooner, ullmark was tired and not playing 100%, we should have rested him

[@earthquakkejake9894]

Penguins may take him

[@Claudia-ok1ou]

As a penguins fan I’m PRAYING he comes to Pittsburgh

[@BeefCake1012]

Ok there’s no way we’re trading Sway over long-term signing Ullmark. Ullmark’s not that young and the B’s would get tons of money for Ullmark if we put him out on the market. Sway’s just getting into his prime and has had almost three years so learn under Tuuka and Ullmark’s instruction. He’s ready for the jump to be #1 in my view.

[@soldierinadream9380]

@@BeefCake1012 depends on where swayman signs. He’s a free agent now, he recently talked about how much he loves Boston but we’ll have to see what he ends up doing. Honestly makes me really nervous. Even if he doesn’t stay with us, I’d honestly root for him anywhere he goes, he’s got such a bright future.

[@outlawgordee]

That shot was immaculate. Swayman, Ullmark, BRODEUR.. not many would have stopped it. Can't blame yourself, Sway.

[@kittyhearder]

Definitely should have put Sway in for game 5 instead of getting cute with the lines. Ully was hurt or sick.. He got up slow too many times and had dark circles under his eyes. Maybe the "new voice" is one that just says "sure!!" when a player begs to be in against better judgment. This as we watch the "old voice" coach an injury riddled team through to the second round.

[@russagt1709]

Thanks for recognizing the situation correctly. Been saying the same since game 1 of the series. Ullmark was injured towards the end of the season and you could see it in his eyes while he played 6 games in this round. He was also barely getting up from some of the plays. I don't know how no one on the Bruins team was able to see this. Unreal.

[@ac4524]

The lines that we had for the last month of the regular season should have remained for this series. I truly believe switching up the lines and playing an injured Ullmark caused this upset

[@HKSMan05]

Or atleast sway for game 1/2 so he had a feel for play offs hockey... Not dump him in on a must win game without playing for 2 weeks nearly

[@JD-cg2qb]

Why’d y’all switch up the lines lol.. I watched couple regular season games I’ve never seen a team that connected before it’s why you set the regular season record, and then watching this series you guys could barely string a pass together hard to believe.

[@cootriley6]

Bad Coaching...

[@ac4524]

@@JD-cg2qb WE didn’t switch up the lines, Jim Montgomery did. A lot of bruins fans were having aneurisms hearing the lineup before each game because it was way different from regular season which proved to be successful. Montgomery screwed with the chemistry

[@kevinnegoro1118]

Poor guy. I feel for him. Ullmark is just thinking 'thank god' it wasnt me in net.

Shouldn't be. His choke in game 5 is the reason we needed Swayman in game 7.

Ullmark did enough to screw us over this series

[@BadButSweaty]

@@HopeIsForbiddenHereUllmark was likely still injured from that last Montreal game of the regular season. I was crossing my fingers that the coaches would trust Swayman enough to put him in in games 5 and 6 but alas, we made the same mistake as we did in 20/21.

He can’t be too hard on himself for this. Imo he has top 10 real skill at his position and had the best goalie game out of all of them this series

It's tough for the guy to be fronted with the responsibility to save a team imploding. The media surrounding the players after a loss are utterly cold and deserve 0 respect.

[@russellchavous8725]

McAvoy singlehandedly cost the Bruins 2 playoff games, 59 seconds left to go for a Bruins victory and he deflects the tying goal in his own net, I knew the game was over then and there, the loss had nothing to do with Swayman, and on the winning goal he was completely screened, McAvoy is just careless, in another game the puck deflected off his knee

[@pimpstick9988]

You can’t blame it on Mccavoy. shows how the best team this season CRUMBLE under pressure 6v5 & they’re playing tight coverage and not trying to forecheck at all. The whole night even with 5v5 they were not clearing no pucks. Florida got up early and those soft goals came to bite us back
