Fanduel.com lockon to get started it’s a Boston Bruins game day they’re taking to the ice this afternoon against the New Jersey Devils we’re going to be talking primarily about uh the win over St Louis on Saturday Jeremy Swan’s contributions there in and what he had to say before and after uh
Charlie makoy coming up big plus we’ll also take a look at the week ahead first a quick reminder you can find the podcast on social media at locked NHL Bruins and you can find me my dad jokes and hockey thoughts at ianc McLaren all right Jeremy Swan for whatever reason has been pretty
Outspoken lately about uh Boston’s recent run of play but also the fact that he was named to the All-Star team um amazing and congratulations to Jeremy Swan who was selected to the 2024 All-Star game via the fan vote uh about eight hours later he helped the Bruins snap a three-game
Losing streak all of which had come in overtime 20 save performance but he made some big ones as the Bruins won in overtime against the St Louis Blues prior to that game and amid the three- game dip in which they did pick up three points in the losing efforts he said you
Know he just felt that they needed to turn a corner here and once they got that win it would feel really good and he kind of called his teammates out for having to make these big saves for having to rely on him for uh for these wins and um not perhaps
Entirely uh Affair but uh here’s exactly what he said I have to make some saves and help keep the team in it uh where’s the exact quote here he said quote I have to make some saves like that in a timely manner I’m happy to have that but we’ve got to finish
These kinds of games it’s just not acceptable at this point excited to get to work and do what we need to do to finish games because we will soon finish those games and it will feel bleeping good that’s what he had to say following uh the loss against Vegas last week he
Came out he made the All-Star team he helped the Bruins win in overtime against St St Louis and after that game he was asked about being selected and again kind of a a fiery quote here he said it’s really special first and foremost quote it couldn’t have happened
Without the team in front of me huge kudos to them for allowing that to happen but after dealing with what I did this summer with arbitration and hearing things that a player should never hear it feels pretty special to be in this situation I’m extremely honored and I’m
Really excited to join pasta daav aastr who had already been named and Monty head coach Jim Montgomery who by way of Boston being in first at the halfway point will be coaching at the All-Star game once again now if you recall Jeremy Swan did indeed go to arbitration last
Summer and he was awarded a one-year deal and the whole thing with arbitration is that the team will present its case as to why their contract um should be on the lower end and the player will argue why they deserve to get paid and eventually it
Came down to swim and getting a contract for 3475 million for this season but you know that from a team perspective there’s a lot of you know this is where your game is off this is where uh things need to improve perhaps both on and off the ice really pointing out
The holes and flaws in your game and it can be feel like a personal attack K the team is just trying to save as much money as possible and unfortunately it has to come at the expense of of uh taking not taking shots but being brutally honest about about the
Player uh Jeremy Swan took that in you know it’s hard not to take it personally and coming out of that being named an Allstar and coming up this summer as a restricted free agent uh you know that he’s going to be wanting to get paid and
And he deserves it and it could come to a situation this summer where you’re already paying lenus allmark five million for next season Jeremy San arguably worth more than that because of his age because of the promise that he could be a onea for the next six seven eight 10 years
Perhaps uh you want to lock him down and he came out this season fired up because of those comments made during arbitration and he has backed it up with a 123 and seven record 918 save percentage being um named to the All-Star team could quite possibly repeat as the Jennings
Winning Duo although the winning Peg Jets might have something to hear about that but hearing things that a player should never hear Um after dealing with that it feels pretty special to be in this situation he said fiery comments from Jeremy Swan some shots perhaps taken at uh management there uh took that opportunity to make a point about mentioning his arbitration hearing um and he’s going to come back and he’s
Going to be wanting to get paid and rightly so um he could sign an extension as early as January 1 ellot Freeman on hockey KN in Canada a few weeks ago said um you know Jeremy Swan is one of those players who really curious to see when
For how long they sign and hopefully the Bruins and Jeremy Swan can get that done sooner than later could have come at the expense of lenus Omar having to be traded due to cap considerations it is going up love to see that tandem rule but are you gonna pay $12 million for
Your goal attending tandem who knows uh but Jeremy Swan congrats for being named an All-Star fiery as ever and uh we love to see it because a fiery San is an effective San and we want him to stay motivated sharp and on his game uh for
The next decade how great would that be another guy who came up big on Saturday is Charlie McAvoy and we’ll discuss his impact on and off the ice in regards to the win against St Louis here as the podcast continues the NFL playoffs are in full swing and

Extra time losses on the 4 game Road Trip uh Colorado Arizona Vegas they went into St Louis looking for a positive end to the road trip and Charlie McAvoy specifically said after his overtime winner that you know points in every game sounds good but it was disheartening the way they were
Losing games three overtimes in a row going to overtime again on Saturday and he came through with an absolute snipe on Jordan Bingington uh you perhaps saw the the image afterwards of makavo celebrating with Jordan Bennington kind of raising his head to the hockey Gods wondering why what could have
Happened beautiful photo hang it in the Lou right this second now the funny thing was St Louis fans were crying out over an apparent trip at the other end where the Bruins came back and scored um kind of onic there that they were crying about a trip that led to a ghoul the
Other way because that’s exactly what happened in 2019 makavo was a Difference Maker that night skated almost 28 minutes of ice time two goals and while he is not going to the all-star game it was a case of him showing how important he is to this team
Jeremy Swan said he’s the top D for a reason Swan feels very comfortable when makavo is on the ice he’s a guy who cares so deeply about this team about the organization winning games what an incredible thing to watch him take initiative be a leader and not
Take no for an answer and you could see that he was getting active in the play jumping up uh pressing and he got those two goals which were amazing aming to see and for my money Charlie McAvoy is the next captain of the Boston Bruins um
Once Brad Baron is uh is done for the season or sorry not done for the season but hangs it up makoy should be the guy who wears the C in my opinion uh speaking of Marshon he reached the 900 point mark which was uh very impressive uh Charlie McAvoy passed Ray bour for
Most overtime goals by a Bruins defenseman which is incredibly impressive as well and our boy David pook Rose to top 10 in alltime scoring for the Boston Bruins and he’s got a real shot at at least cracking the top three in passing Patrice berson uh getting up there with
Johnny busck and uh Ray bour for top spot in alltime scoring uh the Bruins deserve to win this one they had 35 shots compared to 23 for the blues and again uh full credit to Charlie McAvoy for scoring those two goals including the game winner the Bruins had been up
In the third period before Oscar sunfist tied it you remember him as the guy who knocked Matt grizzli out of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final for about four games he was only suspended for one so it hurt to see uh him score there but makoy coming up big with the gamewinner and uh
Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how good Charlie McAvoy is and how lucky the Bruins are to have him anchoring the Blue Line he’s now up to 28 points through only 34 games he’s missed several uh but he is only four back in terms of goal scoring on his career high
We’d love to see him get even more active in the play I’d love to see him jumping up more using that Wicked shot he should be a double digit goal th scoring threat year in and year out at least 50 perhaps even 60 points and it
Might take that for him to jump into the noris trophy conversation because we know how much voters like High Point totals but full credit to Swan McAvoy for coming up big on Saturday for being outspoken as younger guys and uh for really staking their leadership claims on this team moving

Guaranteed all right the Boston Bruins kick off the new week with a game this afternoon against the New Jersey Devil is one of three games on tap for Boston this week seven over the next two weeks leading into their bi-week and the allstar break New Jersey this afternoon
At home then they’ll have two days off before they host the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday a team that they lost in a shootout to last Monday and then the Montreal Canadians come to town on Saturday I should mention the game on Saturday against the blues was played
Without lenus allmark who is back on the ice following uh that scary looking injury in Arizona back last Tuesday uh Brandon Carlo remained out Matt potra remained out and they were playing without Pavo zaka who uh was experiencing an illness hopefully he’s ready to go uh for this afternoon uh the
New Jersey Devils are a team that you know finished pretty high in the standings last year but haven’t quite lived up to those expectations they are banged up uh Jack Hughes out of the lineup douy Hamilton they’re outside of the playoff picture at the moment so
This is a very winnable game for the Boston Bruins especially with uh VC vanichic likely to get the start he has been just not good at all this season it’s the second of no sorry the third of three meetings between these two teams New Jersey won 2-1 December 13th in
Overtime then Boston came back and won 5-2 on December 30th Devils allowing 3.5 goals per game which is 28th ranked in the NHL they offense is pretty good but again Jack Hughes not in the lineup so that will certainly hurt them their power play is not very good their penalty killing is
Not very good so this is a pretty winnable game for the Boston Bruins at the moment jper brat still in the lineup he leads the team with 46 points in 40 games so he’s still a guy to keep an eye on they still have some weapons talah
Chuli niiko heier old friend Eric Hala so hopefully zaka can get in the lineup Hala actually leads them with six points over the past five games uh again the Bruins will then get two days off after this game a nice little respit following that length the
Road trip and then won’t get any easier with uh Colorado coming in later on this week the Bruins overall at the moment they have passed the um the halfway point of the Season playing game 42 on Saturday still first 25 eight and nine uh three points up on
The Florida Panthers a team that had been on a length the winning streak but lost their past game they’re nine and one over their last 10 the Bruins are 61 and three earning uh you know 15 out of a possible 20 points over that stretch still pretty good despite the fact that
You know some were discouraged because of the recent losing skid but they still picked up points they have a 702 point percentage and that is good for first in the east at the moment they’re three points up on both Florida and the Rangers so for a team that had Lowered
Expectations for a team that dipped a little bit here over the past week or so they’re still right up there with the very best in the East and they’re third overall in the NHL in terms of point percentage perhaps they’re not getting as much respect as they deserve a lot of
People talking about how much of a juggernaut uh the Winnipeg Jets are the Vancouver Canucks Boston one two points back of Vancouver with the game at hand one point back of Winnipeg with uh similar uh games played terms of goal differential that’s perhaps where uh there’s a bit of a difference Vancouver
Is plus 55 Winnipeg’s plus 42 and the Bruins are tied with the Kings and the Avalanche for third at plus 27 that’s the latest on the Boston Bruins here friends consider yourselves all caught up on all the latest with respect to Jeremy Swan’s somewhat contener postgame quotes Charlie makoy
Being fed up with losing in overtime taking the game into his own hands and firing home the winner on Jordan Bennington San poar Jim Montgomery all going into the All-Star Game up here in Toronto and uh some afternoon NHL action on Deck this afternoon follow ATC McLaren and locked NHL Bruins for all
The latest and for some in-game tweets here and uh we will talk to you again here tomorrow on a brand new episode of Locked on Boston Bruins part of the locked on podcast Network your favorite team every single day take care of yourselves friends take care of each other talk to you again

Jeremy Swayman is going to the All-Star game, and after Saturday’s overtime win over the St. Louis Blues, he was very vocal about how much this means to him in light of last summer’s arbitration hearing.
This came on the heels of Swayman being outspoken about the recent string of OT/SO losses. He’s acting and talking like a leader on this team, and will be paid as such this summer … or any day now, really.
Charlie McAvoy was also sick of the loser point and stepped up huge in the win over St. Louis.
Plus, a look at what’s coming this week, including a Monday matinee against the New Jersey Devils.
