Through his first four seasons in Boston, goalie Jeremy Swayman solidified his spot as a fan favorite among Bruins fans.
Whether he’s keeping his team afloat under duress or engaging in his trademark postgame victory hug with Linus Ullmark, Swayman displayed a unique upbeat and even-keeled approach.
That philosophy also translates to his interviews with the media. While he’ll throw out a few cliches amid a sea of reporters and cameras, Swayman also showcases a forthright approach to provide as good of a quote as possible.
But Thursday marked a first of sorts for Swayman.
As frustrations settled in following Boston’s third straight overtime loss in Vegas, Swayman held his chin up and took on one of his professional responsibilities.
