It's no secret that Jeremy Swayman didn't make a great first impression on his long-term contract extension. The Boston Bruins' new starter needed to play well once his holdout ended to get back in the good graces of the fanbase, but things didn't go well. It wasn't all Swayman's fault for the Bruins' fall to the bottom of the standings last season, but he certainly didn't play up to the value of his contract.
Swayman is already ahead of last year's preparation as he was on the ice for the first day of Captain's Practice. He missed all of training camp last season and wasn't the starter on opening night when the Bruins faced the Florida Panthers.
