Another solid win
I think we've seen the last of Mr Senyshyn
Lauko and Hughes strong game as well
There's definitely no super stars down here but they play very well as a team
See everyone Friday

Thanks again for the updates, I hope we see Seny up ASAP

I mean I've been high on Swayman since we drafted him, but I didn't think he's start out this strong.

6-0-0-1 / 1.50 GAA / .945 SV% / 1 SO

That's just a stupid line for a kid whose in his first pro year and coming into the season with a short camp. I know Vladar also has some solid numbers in Providence this year, so for those who watch regularly has Swayman been that lights out or is Providence just that good of a team?

Theres a lot of things going on in Providence right now, including them benefitting from playing the same few teams that really don’t bring much to the table consistently outside of physical play.

Providence’s defense is definitely good, but the goalies are legit. Though, I find Vladar to still be making saves sometimes that are only due to his sheer size in net and I think there’s a chance he could get exposed in the NHL.

Swayman, though? Looks like he’s still playing in Maine and it’s just that easy for him. I’ll put him up against the best of the best in regards to goalie prospects in the AHL or below, that’s for sure.

I think it's been a little bit of both. He certainly got lucky tonight with a goal called back and one ringing the inside post without going in. But overall you can tell that the team is confident that they will win with him in net. Also he did have that bad giveaway for one of his goals.

GOT a sneaky suspicion had the pandemic not wrecked the end of 2019/2020 , AS well as the holding pattern forced the hiatus until 8-10 weeks ago for 2021..... things might be different for Providence and the relationships they've built regarding prospect development etc.....

2008-2009 season @DKH ,his daughter, my son and me are at meet the Providence Bruins event, our kids go off to shake down more players for pictures and autographs, it's just Dan and myself with the Head Coach who was Rob Murray, we're talking hockey when he goes " do you know the player I've taken the most calls about"? So we start guessing Rask?, Marchand? Boychuk? Lashoff? Nope, he says he gets the most calls from other teams scouts for Byron Bitz, we couldn't believe it, so the moral of the story is, you never know whom the other teams are interested in

True bleeping story

hey Bitz dressed and scored in game 7 vs Canes they lost and was second star

maybe his last goal in nhl

I want so hard to keep my expectation in check with Swayman, but its so hard to not get excited/hyped about this kid. Watching him play for Maine, the kid was just a rock, night in and night out. If he gave up a bad goal, he shook it off and went right back to work. Kid was just so calm and cool behind the net it was amazing. If he pans out he certainly makes things easier for life after Tuukka.

Probably lies somewhere in the middle. But wow, those are hella impressive stats for a 1st year goalie prospect.

 

[ODAAT]

maturation of a player right in front of the few eyes who get to see him these days, so great to read

 

[rocketdan9]

Looks like a stud goalie

How did Sweeney get to lucky to land this guy in the 4th round.

 

[Malt]

Thanks for everyone for posting updates and providing detailed reports on prospects. I can't watch the games closely due to the 1 p.m. starting times, but glad to see Lauko, Senyhsyn, Swayman, Ahcan playing well. I gave up on Zach last year; hope he proves me wrong. I thought the team would struggle a bit given the makeup of the forward group but they have handled Hartford and Bridgeport for most of the season.

 

[Kegs]

It’s nice to see an exciting goalie prospect. I haven’t seen one in a while.

Since Tuukka?

 

[Kegs]

Since Tuukka?

Basically. Ya. Tuukka is the best goalie not named Tim I’ve ever seen play for the bruins.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Talk about a great bout. NEED MORE OF THIS.

Also, love the ending. Beat the crap out of each other. Tap his back.
