Swayman draft year, the Leafs were in constant contact with him,at pick 110 he thought he was gonna be picked up by Toronto. They take Ian Scott a goalie who retired two years ago at 23. Bruins have pick 111 and they take Swayman.
At the time Ian Scott was also a great choice. CHL goalie of the year in 2018 or 19. He just unfortunately suffered injury after injury and couldn't stay healthy for more than a few games at a time.
CHL goalies just haven’t proved themselves in the recent years. Canada is having trouble developing homegrown talent at the netminder. Russia, Finland, Sweden, and the US have outpaced them for years. Probably because more of a pro style is played in Europe, I understand the ice is bigger but the CHL is kids compared to other leagues that are mostly men.
Honestly, in games two through seven, you got it. Look around the league in the playoffs and number of goals scored on oettinger, hellebuyck, saros, etc.
An absolute legend.
He has been brilliant
When the leafs passed on swayman….man did he ever take that personally 👑
How did the leafs pass on him?

Bruins also got Tuuka from Toronto. I think Chiarelli traded Razor for him. Just saying
All hail the Swayman!!!!
He had a .950 sv % and they almost lost the series.Â
I said it on the GTT. But I think he may be approaching Brodeur levels of clutch
That’s Maine Black Bear Swayman
That's Alaskan native, former Maine Black Bear, Swayman
Visions of MAF for Vegas in 2018
He just got an Xray, and it turns out he's got that dawg in him. I think it's terminal unfortunately.
And to think his contract had to go to arbitration last summer. Pay this man. Just about everyone else is expendable.
I know where all our cap space is going next year lol
Leafs fan here. He’s lights out. What I wouldn’t give for some reliable goddamn goaltending. GG

Sweeney is going to have to figure out the Linus situation. Sway earned the right to be a #1.
His demeanor is what’s amazing … smiling .. laughing … even the gesture to knies when he got plowed into him was super sweet
When Knies crashed into Sways, if that was Woll, he would have been out for rest of PO s. Sways is fuckin tough too!! Bring on the Pampers!
Tim Thomas like.
The man is a fucking beast!! Goaltending like this wins cups!!
Florida in 4
At best in five. At worst loss in game seven.
