Amid one of their most buzzworthy contract standoffs in recent history, the Boston Bruins attempted to once again ‘Sway’ the court of public opinion during their annual start-of-year press conference on Monday.
Unsurprisingly, most of Monday’s discussion points centered around the Jeremy Swayman negotiations, beginning with the opening remarks from Charlie Jacobs, Cam Neely, Don Sweeney and Jim Montgomery. The Bruins’ CEO, Team President, general manager and head coach then took questions about the latest updates and how Swayman’s absence affects the team’s outlook for their season opener a week from Tuesday against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
