Jeremy Swayman gets emotional in return to Boston Bruins during interview
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman got emotional during his return to TD Garden to play for the Boston Bruins.
Over the course of the off-season, all eyes were on Jeremy swayman due to his tedious contract situation with the Boston Bruins, and again on Thursday all eyes were on him again as he was the first Boston Bruin to walk down the tunnel and hit the ice during the Boston Bruins home opener.
Jeremy Swayman, who just signed a 8-year, $8.25 million contract extension, got a loud standing ovation from the Boston Bruins fans.
Jeremy Swayman took notice of the standing ovation, and stated it made him emotional.
Jeremy Swayman did not start for the Boston Bruins in their season opener on Tuesday after missing all of training camp, and all of Boston Bruins preseason games while being in contract negotiations with the team. With all that past him now, he can finally just focus on his job between the pipes, and helping the Boston Bruins make the postseason again.
Jeremy Swayman did not play his best game on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens, but he played good enough to get them the win, making 20 saves in the game, and some timely ones in the third period.
Jeremy Swayman revealed that he was not happy with his performance, but he also said it's hard to be upset with how the game went, when he didn't think he was going to be in this position a couple weeks ago.
