Boston Bruins Staff Sends A Strict Warning To The Goalies
The Boston Bruins continue to defy expectations in the current season, proving wrong the preseason predictions that foresaw a decline after the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejč�.
Much to the chagrin of critics, Boston has stormed out of the gate with an impressive 12-1-2 record, currently topping the league. The goaltending duo of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Swayman boasts a flawless 6-0 record with a 1.69 GAA and a .944 save percentage, while Ullmark holds a 6-1 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .928 save percentage.
Having clinched the William M. Jennings Trophy last season for allowing the fewest goals in the regular season, the dynamic duo achieved a remarkable feat.
Boston surrendered a league-low 177 goals, making them the first goalie tandem in NHL history to have one goalie (Ullmark) win 40 games and the other (Swayman) secure 20 or more victories.
The Bruins have not only been victorious on the ice but have also captured attention for the heartwarming tradition during celebrations. It has become a league-wide spectacle to witness the backup goalie warmly embracing the starter after each win.
The camaraderie between Ullmark and Swayman has become a notable highlight, showcasing the close bond they've developed.
In a recent interview with B/R Open Ice, Swayman and Ullmark shared a lighthearted moment, revealing that the team's training staff has cautioned them to ease off their exuberant post-game hugs to prevent any injuries.
It's undoubtedly an exciting time to be a Bruins fan.
