2023-24 NHL Season
- Thread starter Doc Holliday

I expect some interesting wrestling between Tkachuk and Swayman , as the latter doesn’t tolerate anyone close to him, so Tkachuk will most likely be in his face and try to disturb his concentration.
Speaking of Swayman, here is an interesting fact about him. He is a product of the US National Team Development Program (as is Tkachuk) and played on the 2018 USA Team in the World Juniors with 2 other goalies we have seen in the playoffs- Jake Oettinger of Dallas, and Joseph Woll of Toronto. At that time, Oettinger was the starting USA goalie, Joseph Woll the second goalie and Swayman was the 3rd string goalie behind the other 2! Swayman got very little playing time but did play in the USA Third place game victory, 9-3 over Czech Republic. Oettinger and Woll got all the PT.
He is retiring after a season in which he was named a finalist for the prestigious Jack Adams award and did one of his finest jobs as a coach. It also should be noted that he mentored TB Coach Jon Cooper and helped him become the coach that he is.
ESPN has said that at the moment, these 3 players are your frontrunners for Conn Smythe Playoffs MVP:
Connor McDavid
Jeremy Swayman
Mika Zibenajad

Keefe Defends His Coaching, Says He Will "Search For Solutions":
www.espn.com
The way I think that article reads, ESPN is giving Keefe a pass on the 1st round loss due to the Nylander/Matthews injuries. Will this sympathy for Keefe bleed over to management, and will they give him one more year to find the solutions Keefe says he is looking for? Do you guys have sympathy for Keefe?

Swayman Exacts Revenge On Leafs For Not Drafting Him
Any of you guys heard of Ian Scott, the goalie the Leafs selected 1 pick ahead of Swayman? Probably not as he retired in 2022 at age 23 after a career .885 save % in 5 seasons of minor leagues of hockey.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman 'definitely' motivated by Maple Leafs draft snub
Jeremy Swayman still remembers when the Maple Leafs picked another goalie one spot ahead of when the Bruins grabbed him in the 2017 NHL Draft. He can make the Leafs regret that call even more in Game 7.

Bruins 5-1 Panthers (May 6, 2024) Game Recap - ESPN
Expert recap and game analysis of the Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers NHL game from May 6, 2024 on ESPN.
Panthers will have to solve the Swayman mystery! I didn’t watch the game but the SOG points to a game where they had the edge, both in shots and face offs.
They need to but bodies in front of the net and get Swayman out of his comfort zone!

Guessing the Connie Smythe winner after the very first round is a bit futile to me. Any candidate who had a great first round can be knocked out in the next. This isn’t a 1 game thing, it’s about being at the top of your game for the full 16 wins required to have your name engraved on the Stanley Cup!
Yeah, I know, some exceptions have happened where, the Connie Smythe was voted to a player on the losing team. But anyway, the Connie Smythe is, imho, the greatest achievement an athlete can make, all sports include.

Yes....SWAYMAN was the answer....et il va commencer à les hanter...same for PASTRNAK qui est redevenu lui-même.....bref aussi un travail d'équipe remarquable.....et big credit also au coach.....ne m'attendait pas à une telle sortie des BRUINS face aux PANTHERS
Ça reste un match #1, des faux départs se produisent assez souvent, surtout avec les équipes qui doivent attendre que les autres séries se terminent. La suite devrait être très intéressante!
Tonight NYR---CANES et AVS--STARS....should b fun to watch....would bet on NY and COL.....enjoy..... et NYR en 6/ COL en 5....lol.
