The Bruins disrespect goaltender Jeremy Swayman with a new messy report
Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins could be in a precarious position this preseason.
Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette of the Barstool brand podcast "Spittin' Chiclets" have taken heat from the Bruins GM.
Could they be vindicated?
Whitney went on X.com and said that the Bruins had lowballed starting goalie, Jeremy Swayman and disrespect the goalie.
Sweeney would later fire back calling them the "Spitting Up" podcast, and claim they didn't know what they were talking about as that information regarding negotiations is private and unknown to reporters.
«I will tell you, I don't listen to podcasts,» Sweeney said. «My son loves [Paul Bissonnette]. I thinks he's a great entertainer. But at the end of the day, they're inaccurate. And that's OK because that's all part of the business nowadays. It's OK if you turn around and say it's your opinion or your belief and such, but don't report it as fact. That's all I'm asking.»
Which is it then? It seems as if the contract negotiations have gone on longer than they should've between Swayman and the Bruins.
If Joonas Korpisalo doesn't end up panning out, as Sweeney hopes for he'll be put in a vice and have to give in to Swayman's contract demands.
This whole situation has been a dumpster fire since Sweeney decided the best idea was to ship Linus Ullmark up north.
It sounds like maybe, Bissonnette might not be wrong, despite all of Sweeney's indignation.
Swayman is the legitimate starter in Boston, with a 25-10-8 record, 2.53 GAA, and a .916 save percentage.
