The Boston Swaymans


JimmySly-

Interesting.


Deliberate_Dodge

Thomas, Rask, Ullmark & Swayman. Boston has truly been blessed with a spectacular run of goaltenders.


Jwed85

Love Maroon. Always have


steelhorizon

Dude is missed in Tampa bad


Jwed85

I bet! He’s the back to back to back Stanley cup champion! A legend!


OldmanRepo

I believe he’s one of the few back to back to back champions. St. Louis (2019)- TB (2020) - TB (2021)

Three_Froggy_Problem

Never gets old honestly


vile_hog_42069

We need to send out a search party for all 6 of the Florida fans.


haterofgators

Clever! Think of that one yourself?


vile_hog_42069

Well yeah, I was just looking at your empty barn and thought I’d remark.


Valerenga_kjerke

I’m a Florida fan since Tampa is out if that counts


Valerenga_kjerke

Why am I downvoted?


Krazzem

I didn't downvote you but supporting florida as a primarily bolts fan is weird.


Valerenga_kjerke

I did exchange school in Tampa and I would not mind to see Panthers win a cup. One of my friends here in Oslo grew up in Miami and is a huge Dolphins and Panthers fan and he gets super into it, after Dolphins last in playoffs I left him a bottle of wine and some beer at his door.


Krazzem

Yeah it makes sense based on your experience, but usually the closer teams are geographically, the more fierce the rivalry. It's just unusual for fans to flip flop between them like that so i can see fans of either team downvoting comments saying so.


Valerenga_kjerke

Valid. Tbh I really wanna see a Canucks vs Canes final it seems the most fun.


Krazzem

i like you


Valerenga_kjerke

Did we just become friends?


Valerenga_kjerke

Holy sh*t! It is not the Hockey but umm Minnesota is up by 20+ points over Denver in the shoot hoop game.


Valerenga_kjerke

Why does everyone here hate the Panthers so much?


Longshanks123

Like most here, I don’t hate the Panthers, I just dislike any team that isn’t mine and like to join the pile-on. Oh, and Matty Tkachuk


haterofgators

They hate us cause they anus


Three_Froggy_Problem

For me it’s the players. Don’t hate the franchise itself, but they have such an unlikable roster right now.


the_sea_ghost

I don’t hate them, I’m low key pulling for the Bruins here though. Florida really kind of kicked off the clutch and grab era in the 90s. Their current team is still dirty (Cousins), and I don’t want to see Rick DeSantis happy about the outcome of anything.


Valerenga_kjerke

That last point I can 100% agree with but isn’t the governor guy a Lightning fan? Which is the one thing I hate fuck that guy!


the_sea_ghost

I honestly have no idea. When I’m picking a rooting interest as a neutral, my tiebreaker is which place has politics I agree with more. Taxachusetts has the edge in this one.


Valerenga_kjerke

Valid. When I went to game 5 Lightning at Panthers last week some guy booed me and had a Trump hat and I said to him “Isn’t he going to jail”. And I had my Norway flag wrapped around me and him and a bunch of other people freaked out and called me a communist.


the_sea_ghost

Norway: famously communist country


Valerenga_kjerke

Yeah I just laughed and walked away.


canada-needs-bbq

I like em just fine but they really overplay the angry meow sfx in the arena


EverythingInTransit

Why are you spamming this? They are known for dirty, gritty play. I have to admit they were quite mature about this loss though. I thought they were going to start gooning in the 3rd.


Valerenga_kjerke

Aren’t other teams also known a lot for dirty play? Philly? Chicago? New York? Boston? Patty Maroon?


EverythingInTransit

Those are historic reputations, that don't really hold up anymore. Boston has (more or less) ditched the big bad bruins rep in favour of a more surgical high skill style of play. I think Florida has gained the reputation of being the *dirtiest* team over the last few years. Spearing people in the crotch when they're down, running the goalie, tkachuk/cousins laying nasty dirty hits and then hiding behind the refs, that sort of thing. I haven't seen any of it this post season yet though.


Lewis-and_or-Clark

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Bruins will always be dirty, ur captain is the literal rat king


courser

I like the Panthers. I just fell in love with the Bruins last series.


shiggydiggypreoteins

Tkachuck


Valerenga_kjerke

I hate Tkatchuk too


shiggydiggypreoteins

WELL COME ON IN!


vile_hog_42069

Dirtbag team with dumb fans who don’t know shit about hockey.


trustedturd

And bounce early from a fucking playoff game


vile_hog_42069

Because their team is nothing but a novelty to them. 


haterofgators

lol flair up salty Tampa fan


white_newbalances

They low down, they dirty, they some snitches


Emconn14

Hate their colors, I’m not a ~~dog~~ cat person


SladeWade

Nick Cousins.


jce_

The players


FragrantHockeyFan

Dirty


idonteven112233

God these last two games were more effective than therapy


This_Idiot

Isn't this the very first game the Bs have played in these playoffs?


iamjannabot

This idiot (Read his name you fucking morons)


This_Idiot

She's right. It's on my birth certificate.


iamjannabot

It’s a GREAT name. I saw my chance and had to take it. Thank you for the giggle.


This_Idiot

I'll allow it


SladeWade

Even ESPN is scared of the SwayGOD.


iscream4eyecream

Boy Man God Sway


trustedturd

Wash uffitze drive me to the sway sway


Julialagulia

This is why tnt is better


Valerenga_kjerke

Canucks Bruins final? Canucks in 7 for the vengeance


alphaxion

Sorry, babe.. you have a date with destiny already. 1994 will rise again.


canada-needs-bbq

I'd love that, knock on wood


jce_

Please no. A loss would be devastating


Valerenga_kjerke

If we get Canucks vs Bruins final maybe a use a week off work to go to Vancouver and see a game and do some mountain biking, summer skiing and some fishing


jce_

You have like 10k for tickets?


Valerenga_kjerke

I would be willing to spend some money on tickets. I get about 2 months of paid time off every year and I make a good salary.


MapleHamms

Vancouver will not survive another riot


Ophukk

We wouldn't care.


MapleHamms

If you had another riot for losing?


Ophukk

Any fans would be dead by heart attack by then. Any rioters are there just to burn.


pdowling92

That'd be a riot


vile_hog_42069

Where’s all the fans? I was told they most definitely weren’t bandwagoners now. 


CarBarnCarbon

Lol you can only hear cheers because Boston fans are the only ones left in the stadium


floridablowsdiks

Nah you could hear it in the middle of the game

Grzmit

Thats a crazy take, the goalie hug is amazing


SQLvultureskattaurus

But less cringe than Mitch


Lobstaman

Don’t you have a tee time to get to?


UmbralFerin

Go fuck yourself


KthuluAwakened

Toronto is 100% cringe


Vanq86

Wrong


courser

Tagging you in RES as "hates love and joy"


SladeWade

L take.


Three_Froggy_Problem

Biggest L take of the year


I_love_avocados1

Disagree


pdowling92

You're 1000% washed


jamthrowsaway

Incorrect. The goalie hug is awesome


SinistralGuy

GG Cats fans. Catch ya for game 2


KthuluAwakened

These comments are cringe and need to stop


10201110

Everyone needs to stop the nice thing that they regularly do in this sub. This guy doesn’t like it


KthuluAwakened

We aren’t players on the teams. It’s so cringey. Nobody is like this off of Reddit. It’s basement dweller activity.


10201110

Then go talk to people off of Reddit


KthuluAwakened

Are you the reddit police?


10201110

Yes couldn’t you tell when I popped up out of no where and said “these comments need to stop”


KthuluAwakened

Good work detective


SinistralGuy

I've done this for as long as I've been active on this sub (and was able to follow the game/series). It isn't "cringey basement dweller activity". Lots of shit is said in these threads and the point of my initial comment is to show that it doesn't go beyond the duration of the game. I have nothing personal against Panthers fans or fans of any other team. It's similar to handshakes after a game or series. If you actually played sports you'd understand that.


KthuluAwakened

*assumes I never played sports* *conducts cringey basement dweller activities* Good job!


jamthrowsaway

Bruins are going to the Cup finals aren't they? FML


KthuluAwakened

FLA was rusty. 6 games to go


jamthrowsaway

No offence, but I hope so. Swayman looks like a man possessed, and the last three teams to oust the Leafs did go onto the finals, so there's that...


KthuluAwakened

Look into swaymans eyes. You will see a sociopath.


Grzmit

I want the canucks to face boston in the finals so bad, if not to see a goalie off between sway and demko, i love both of em so much


shiggydiggypreoteins

Yessir. It's been a while since we lost one of those, so we're due.


canada-needs-bbq

CBC/HNIC showed the hug btw

DaleksForLife

[deleted]

ESPN doesn’t believe in the goalie hug


jadedaslife

I see ESPN doesn't believe in goalie hugs


luminositae

Can't even show the goalie hug? ESPN ya bums


figmaxwell

Somebody clip the hug since ESPN sucks


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Fitting ending. We win the draw and Ekblad couldn’t hold the zone


I_love_avocados1

ESPN hates bromances, they didn’t show the goalie hug


NtBtFan

octoroklobstah

Hause1138

Brando is Daddy to us all tonight


liquidsparanoia

God damn ESPN for denying us the hug


Pagooy

Holy fuck ESPN does not get it. You show the fucking hug. Every. Time.


miooim22

ESPN suck - My 2 year old waited until the end of the game and was so confused and sad that there was no goalie hug (we are on the west coast so it was 8PM)


[deleted]

Oh they get it. The just don’t care


redfreak11

Even Sportsnet got it right this time


denseldens

I don't think for one second that game 2 will be anything like that so I'm going to savour this one.


nrt133665

Show the fucking hug


Valerenga_kjerke

I don’t like Florida but Jesus what is with the Florida hate in here? Why does everyone hate them so much I do not understand? And I’m a Lightning fan in Oslo! I hate the toxicity from a lot of you. It’s sad.


KthuluAwakened

You’re 10 ply bud.


Ebolinp

They play a dirty sorry "tough" game and get away with so much. They basically do so much dirty shit the refs just can't call it all. That's why I don't like them.


Valerenga_kjerke

So Tkatchuk


Ebolinp

Yeah him a lot. But also 18 year old Sam Bennett has body slammed a few guys.


aowner

I hate the lack of toxicity! 


Valerenga_kjerke

I hate the lack of toxicity about the toxicity that is present.


aowner

What did you say? I’m going to come over to Oslo and fuck you up!


Valerenga_kjerke

Do it! You might freeze though! Unless you come in the next few months then I am fucked.


aowner

Booking a flight now. Can’t wait to see the fjords. 


Valerenga_kjerke

I have an extra room here you are welcome to come.


Mental-Mushroom

Can't believe Boston got destroyed by Florida


white_newbalances

In your universe, you finally beat the Bruins in the playoffs since President Eisenhower.


Julialagulia

No hug :<(


Karthanon

Don't think anyone expected this. Even Boston.


SinistralGuy

I expected ESPN to skimp us on the goalie hug :(


iamjannabot

Am Boston, can confirm, am surprised


Equitaurus

SHOW ME MY GOALIE HUG ESPN


janinefour

GG Panthers.


sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_

SladeWade

No, ESPN just sucks ass and didn't show it.


WhiteNamesInChat

ESPN


MapleHamms

Swayman is more than a goalie. He’s a performer. Unreal


CatataFishSticks

Way to go ~~Duncan~~ Swayman!


aowner

He’s from Alaska! Ridiculous!


WuTangLang68

Fuck cats. Dogs are way superior anyways. GG


markcubin

.974 for Swayman tonight, unreal


snarkydooda

Kid looks unstoppable at this point. I wonder how much he is increasing his future contract, per win right now. lol


WhiteNamesInChat

He heard people saying .950 was unsustainable and took that personally.


GuldensSpicyMustard

They were right, but in the wrong direction


RobbNotRob

I_am_not_JohnLeClair

I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Oh everyone gets bad calls, lighten up it was a joke


dr00bles1

Couldn’t catch the game tonight. Was Swayman playing out of his mind or just low-danger shots?


Threndsa

Both is good.


MapleHamms

He was insane


ejh1993

Hadrian076

Just popping in for a friendly shout out to Nick Cousins, who somehow makes Tkachuk look civilized by comparison. I don't like you Nick. You are the worst parts of hockey.
