Game 5 is tonight- Bruins need to win, or face elimination. What happened on the bench, after Jeremy Swayman left Game 4? Let's hear from the Bruins' goaltender.
If Bruins do lose Game 5, how do you feel about the Bruins' future?
Transcript
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.
