Bruins Training Staff Warns Duo About Post Game Celebration
The Boston Bruins are once again defying all critics with their play this season. After both Patrice Bergeron and David Krejčí retired this offseason hockey pundits thought the 2023-24 season would finally be the one that the Bruins begin to falter.
To the dismay of many Boston is off to another rapid start leading the league with a 12-1-2 record. The play of the team's goaltending duo of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark has been out of this world. Swayman has a 6-0 record with a 1.69 GAA and .944 save percentage. Ullmark has a 6-1 record with a 2.23 GAA and .928 save percentage.The duo won the William M. Jennings Trophy last season for allowing the fewest goals during the regular season. Boston allowed a league-low 177 goals with duo becoming the first goalie tandem to have one goalie (Ullmark) win 40 games and the other (Swayman) 20 or more.
Boston have won a lot of games the last two seasons, during the celebration it has been a tradition for the backup goalie to greet the starter with a huge hug. It has become a thing around the league watching how close the bond between Ullmark and Swayman has grown.
During a recent interview with B/R Open Ice Swayman and Ullmark revealed the training staff have warned the duo of taking a little steam off their post game hug to avoid any injury.
"To be fair, I've not got a warning yet from the medical staff but Sway has. It happened when I scored."
"There's a sick picture of us jump hugging in Buffalo after back to back shutsies. All of a sudden I came in hot as well. I told you if you do it one more time, I'm coming hot. We got a solid 15 inches."
