Boston Bruins

The goalie built up A TON of goodwill with us Mainers during his time in Orono. Is that goodwill being cashed in or does Sway have an endless line of credit in the Pine Tree State?

The old guard has almost entirely changed out. The voices I grew up with and so many of you welcomed into your lives on a nightly and weekly basis, the voices who described the greatest golden age a sports town has ever experienced, are now memories like those teams they called.

Swayman, who turns 26 in late November, ranked fifth in the NHL with a .916 save percentage and eighth with a 2.53 goals-against average last season. He was being paid a team-friendly $3.475 million on a one-year contract and will get a raise — but how much and for how long?

It's a stalemate that everyone has been saying will get done, but here we are, one week from opening camp and still without a deal.

The Boston Bruins traded 2023 Vezina Trophy winning goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators on Monday in exchange for the Senators' 2024 first-round draft pick, forward Mark Kastelic and goaltender Joonas Korpisalo.

Assuming the Celtics get the job done tonight - I mean, it's written in the stars, just look at the date (6-17), that's Boston's area code for goodness sake - which of the region's teams is best positioned to win the next championship?

The Boston Celtics are four wins away from being undeniable. They've been questioned and belittled all year, but with four more wins, they will complete one of the most dominant seasons ever played in NBA history.

For a rivalry to be at its best, you need two teams either at the peak of their powers or with a long standing history of hatred. The former immediately removes the Sox and New England Patriots from the conversation. The latter is hard to come by in today's age of athlete, where everyone seems "buddy buddy" with each other.

Gustav Forsling scored the tiebreaking goal on a rebound with 1:33 left to lead the Florida Panthers to a 2-1 victory and eliminate the Boston Bruins from their second-round playoff series in six games.
