The Boston Bruins’ victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 3 has intensified their rivalry, highlighted by accusations against Toronto’s Max Domi and discussions about Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman’s impact, amidst ongoing strategic decisions regarding the Bruins’ goaltender rotation.
Oh boy, the heat is on! The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are really going at it after Wednesday’s game. The Bruins clinched a dramatic 4-2 win in Game 3. Talk about intense!
And then, there’s this whole drama with Trent Frederic and Coach Jim Montgomery from the Bruins. They’ve got something to say about Max Domi of the Leafs. Apparently, Domi bumped into Boston’s goalie, Jeremy Swayman, during the game. Frederic and Montgomery didn’t hold back, hinting that Swayman’s top-notch performance might just be messing with the Leafs’ heads.
But wait, Sheldon Keefe, the Leafs’ head coach, isn’t buying it. He’s got his own take on the third-period scuffle. Disagreement? Absolutely.
Swayman? The guy’s on fire. He blocked 28 shots in that crucial win, pushing Boston ahead in the series. Remember Game 1? He saved 35 shots, leading to a 5-1 victory at home. But then, in Game 2, Linus Ullmark took over, and Toronto snagged a 3-2 win on the road. ESPN’s Kristen Shilton reports that Coach Montgomery has been switching up his goalies for nearly 30 games since February.
Despite Swayman’s standout performances, Montgomery’s playing it coy about who’ll be in the net for Game 4 on Saturday. “Both goalies have been so good for us,” he admitted to Shilton. “It’s a hard decision.” Talk about a cliffhanger.
