Jeremy Swayman was recently recognized for his contributions to the Bruins' incredible year by being selected as an NHL All-Star. When asked about how he feels about being chosen, he strangely brought up his arbitration hearing this past summer, in a way that seemed to reveal a chip on his shoulder over what he heard during the hearings.
Even though it seems harmless, this could indicate that Swayman is holding on to a bit of a grudge as to what Bruins' management said about him during the offseason. Luckily for Bruins fans, it appears he is using it as fuel for his game.
Swayman has earned the honour of being an All-Star this season, undoubtedly. His teammates were happy that he was selected, noting that Swayman is one of the reasons they are constantly in every game.
Swayman will look to show off some of this skill on the big stage at the All-Star game coming up, and importantly, continue it down the stretch for the Bruins.
