At long last, some good news for Boston Bruins fans. The team has finally signed their starting goalie, Jeremy Swayman. After a nasty arbitration experience last season, Swayman held out through training camp, missing the entire thing, before signing a new deal.
I am not sure how the team is going to handle the roster to start the season. The opening game is two nights from now. Has Swayman being training on his own? Will they send him to Providence to get himself up to speed, or will they just throw him into the fire on Tuesday and hope for the best? Who knows.
Here’s an article from NHL.com that might answer those questions but I am too lazy to read through it right now. All I know is that the deal is for eight years and 66 million dollars. Yikes!
Bring on the season, folks. It’s hockey time once again.
