In the Bruins’ stunning first-round playoff series victory over the Maple Leafs, it was goaltender Jeremy Swayman who stole the spotlight with his incredible performance. Swayman’s stellar play was a crucial factor in the Bruins advancing to the next round.
While Boston fans were blown away by how well Swayman played, Shrewsbury native Jack Quinlivan wasn’t surprised. Having been teammates with Swayman for three years at the University of Maine, Quinlivan knew firsthand just how talented he was and could be.
Quinlivan recalled their time together at Maine, where Swayman’s skill and work ethic shone through. He described Swayman as a phenomenal player who always excelled in both mental and physical preparation. Quinlivan had high expectations for Swayman, based on his experiences playing alongside him in college.
Now that the Bruins are facing off against the Florida Panthers in the second round of the playoffs, they will be counting on Swayman to continue his impressive goaltending performance. With Swayman between the pipes, the Bruins will be looking to ride his hot streak through another round of postseason action.
