00:00Jeremy Swayman was asked about yelling on the Bruins bench in Game 4 after going down 6-1 in that
00:06loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
00:08Here was Jeremy Swayman.
00:10We have an extremely high competitive group, and we all have a standard that we all carry ourselves to,
00:17and it wasn't that, so that was just emotion.
00:19Again, I know that it's moved on now, and we have a job to do going to Buffalo.
00:23Was it purposeful? Was it something you recognize?
00:25You don't do that sort of thing very often if you did it in a specific spot that might carry
00:30some weight?
00:31Yeah, you definitely pick and choose times that, especially a goalie, can show emotion,
00:35but at the same time, again, we win as a team and we lose as a team,
00:38and everyone in here has a standard that we know we're capable of,
00:42and I think that's what really is the underlying cause here.
00:46And, again, we know we have a job to do.
00:48We know we can compete at an extremely high level, and that's what we're going to do.
00:52Okay, well, we'll see if that works.
00:55And if he's able to get the guys fired up this evening.
00:59They could use Bregman.
01:02No, but I don't mind it from players.
01:04Like, I think that's what you want, and everybody's different.
01:07You know, I played with Troy Brown.
01:09He was, you know, never, like, emotional, or he wasn't the type of guy that was very, like, vocal
01:14and yelling and screaming at players.
01:16But if he did, you knew, like, oh, damn, we must really be dragging ass.
01:21You know what I'm saying?
01:23And if that's something that Swayman doesn't do a lot, and then he does it as a team,
01:27maybe he might be like, wow, all right, we really got to look in the mirror.
01:31You know, if our guy Jeremy is, and say what you want, he's probably been your best player
01:37throughout the postseason, I would say.
01:40We talked about this with Judd the other day on his save percentage.
01:43So, if he does that, like, I got no issues with that.
01:48Yeah, but I don't think the players love him.
01:50Like, when he was holding out, how many players you'd even noted, Wiggy, how rare it was for
01:56players not to celebrate another guy getting money.
01:58Well, if they lose, and they end up losing this series 4-1, how do you feel about this
02:06team next year when you talk about their core guys, like McAvoy, Pasta?
02:14I don't love it.
02:15You know, and I would say those two, because the Lynn Holmes, I don't really know Zador,
02:20if I don't really, but I would say Pasta and McAvoy, because those are, like, your two
02:26leader leaders where one of them should be wearing a seat.
02:28How do you feel about those guys moving forward?
02:31Well, listen, David Pasternak, like, I think is, that deal is a long-term deal, and what's
02:40it got left?
02:40Six years or something like that?
02:41Something like that, yeah.
02:42I'll double check for you.
02:43Because I think it was eight for 88, and I think he's only two or three years into it.
02:47I mean, you're kind of stuck with him.
02:50I guess you could trade him and see what you can get for him from a pick.
02:55You've got a bunch of picks.
02:56I mean, one thing that Don Sweeney did well when he decided to offload a bunch of guys
03:01was set yourself up for the future.
