COMMENTARY
The sting of another season snuffed out short of a Stanley Cup was seared into Jeremy Swayman’s comments last Friday night.
“I told these guys in the locker room after — I said, ‘I’ve never loved a team more.’ … We know that everyone has each other’s backs — away from the rink and at the rink,” Swayman noted after Boston’s Game 6 loss to the Panthers.
The 2023-24 Bruins were not expected to be in this position — scratching and clawing for a chance to force a decisive Game 7 against a superior Florida opponent in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
