Joyeux samedi. À la fin de la saison régulière, j’ai fait mon pèlerinage de l’Alaska au jardin et j’ai apporté une pancarte pour Swayman. Il est venu et a parlé avec moi pendant un moment, puis est revenu plus tard avec une rondelle d’échauffement à me lancer !

Still gutted about how this season turned out, but happy I have this memory to look back on. I’m a lifelong Bruins fan and was over the moon when the Bruins signed a fellow Alaskan.
I’d bought tickets to this game expecting to get to see Swayman play, because the B’s had been running the every-other-game tandem throughout the season. Unfortunately, this was the game they decided to play Ullmark two games in a row, trying to get ready for the playoffs. So I didn’t get to see Sway play, but I also think it’s likely that if he had started for this game, he wouldn’t have taken the time to come over. All in all, he was really nice, and it was a great experience.
Edit: We also got to banter for a moment before he circled back with a puck and he made some kind of joke about me coming all that way on a night he wasn’t playing lol
What a great memory/story! I’m curious… did you drive all the way to Boston or fly?
Fellow Alaskan B’s fan here, too! We hope to have the chance to say hello to Sway in the future if it works out, and I love that you brought him some hometown support!
Heck yeah I also flew from Alaska to Boston this year and got to see sway play!
Heck yeah I also flew from Alaska to Boston this year and got to see sway play! I’m from New Hampshire but been up here in the valley about 11 years.
