Bruins’ Swayman Continues to Dominate Leafs, Sparking Thoughts of Mental Impact

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman’s impressive performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs, including a 5-0-0 record and a 28-save shutout in Game 3, has raised questions about his potential impact on the Leafs’ psyche. Leafs coach Jim Montgomery suggested that Max Domi’s attempt to physically engage with Swayman during a TV timeout indicated some frustration from the team. However, Bruins forward Trent Frederic believes Swayman’s success may be causing some exasperation within the Leafs and that it could be a contributing factor to Toronto’s scoring woes. Despite the speculation, Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe dismissed the suggestion that Swayman was affecting his team’s performance, while also expressing confidence in his team’s ability to generate scoring chances.
