Swayman Comments On Being Sent Back To AHL.

"The situation is obviously not ideal," Swayman said. "But I'm going to make sure I'm getting better every day working on things I need to work on. I think I'm going to do that pretty well down here with this team."

"Not ideal," Swayman said when pressed for clarity, "because I want to be winning games at the NHL level with the Boston Bruins."

"I made sure I was focusing on the day at hand and whatever I could do to help the team win," Swayman said. "(Rask's) obviously a great addition to the team. I wasn't worried about contract situations or anything when I got the chance to play.

He knows he's a big part of our current team as well as moving forward. Most importantly, he's got a hell of a long career ahead of him as a Boston Bruin."
