1. Great for Swayman and hopefully for all the goalies ! A new fan of Jeremy here!

2. Glad you enjoyed the show. I saw them in Philly on this tour. How did you like Dinosaur Jr?

3. Sharks score 6 goals? The world has actually ended.
   Oh wait, pre-season.

4. Ha i drafted swayman in our yearly hockey pool in the 11th round based off speculation yesterday, that worked out good!!

5. lucky for me i didnt take joonas in my draft today.
   almost look liljegren too.
   phew.

6. Garbage music taste = um out. Bye.

7. I don't like the 8.25mil. first off that's the rest of the Bruins cap space so another year of blowing all the money before the season even starts. But also I've said it before Swayman has proved nothing aside from a really good round 1 last year and being a solid 1B for 40 games. In 3 years this deal might look good but for now, I don't love it

8. Good but Sweeney is still bad

9. You forgot to say NTC included for Swayman, but I’m so sorry about all of that.

10. sorta surprised its eight years after this drama, good deal for jeremy

11. I'm happy for THG that Swayman signed, but as Boston anti-fan, I can now only hope that he crumbles under the pressure of being the No 1 and that contract becomes a real stinker.

12. So happy sway got signed and honestly good deal

13. Good for Swayman get what you can get . Bruins made there bed traded the other goalie .

14. Your nightmare may have had something to do with the concert!

15. Finally I can watch hockey without being pissed off

16. Boston just went from potentially being out of the playoff picture by American Thanksgiving to being back in the playoff picture again, depending on how their shiny new UFAs work out vs their roster losses in the summer.

17. The drummer for Weezer, Patrick Wilson was born in Buffalo, NY in February 1969.

18. Millions of fans cried out when their "Swayman to team X for a 2nd round pick," fantasies were shattered.

19. He’s tied for 5th in AAV for goaltenders at $8.25M. That’s more than fair. The cap is going to continue to raise and now other goalies are going to ask for that amount or even more. By 2026 I would be surprised if he’s only the 10th best paid goaltender and one of the better valued contracts

20. Liljegren is not a good defenseman. The only reason he is on roster is because he is RD. Underwhelming career thus far.

21. weezer right up there with slipknot and Rammstein. don't hear that often

22. A part time goalie (up to this point) should not go into a negotiation trying to "reset the goalie market." I understand 100%, if they walked away, someone else would have given it to him, so spare me the "demand sets the market" speech. Still not right.

23. No way I would have given swayman that contract. Resets the bar for goalie prices in a bad way imo.

24. I expect Swayman to have 55+ starts. Curious, did Swayman miss all of preseason? If so, gonna take him 2 – 3 weeks to catch up.

25. Torkaski never stopped developing

26. i can live with Swayman getting $8.25M… when i heard (incorrectly apparently) that he turned down $8M over 8 years, i scoffed at him? I thought $8M was a good number for him? He is also worth $8.25M tho, imo

27. Drafted Swayman after seeing he signed 5 hrs before my hockey draft 😅

28. Swayman'd better become one of the best golies to ever play the game.
