I don't think you can mess with Sway's momentum until he loses it. Just so calm and composed.

Linus played terrific in his one game, likely not the last he'll play, but it's Sway's net.

I said that Monty should lose his job if he didn’t start Sway in game 4.

He should lose his job and be forced to stand naked in the left lane of the Zakim Bridge if he doesn’t start him in game 5.

Before the game I told my friends that I was sure Linus would start Game 5, no matter what happened last night. But now I think it’s gotta be Sway.

Did Swayman even break a sweat last night? And now he has another two day break.

Game 5 starter is Swayman.

If it was only one rest day I consider going Ullmark...two days off? Sway all the way

Because he's not just great but Tim Thomas great, got to be Sway. I was all for the rotation, but the elite level he's playing at is hard to ignore.

I agree that its Sway. However there's one thing to consider:

If you are going to go with Sway in Game 5, then I think you pretty much have to go with him in Games 6 & 7 as well, if necessary.

IF (and that's a big IF) there's a game you slot Ullmark in, its probably Game 5 and then you run Swayman out in Games 6 & 7.

Agreed. I don't like the thought of switching to Ullmark after a game 5 loss. Basically says "you got one f*** up and you're done." Creates unnecessary pressure imo.
