Jeremy Swayman has surprising reaction to hit from Max Domi in Game 3
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman shared his surprising take on the Max Domi hit that sent him crashing to the ice during a TV timeout in Game 3.
During a TV timeout on Wednesday, as the Bruins and Maple Leafs were heading to the benches, Max Domi *accidentally on purpose* ran into Jeremy Swayman, sending the young goaltender down to the ice, which really got Bruins winger Pat Maroon riled up.
Bruins coach Jim Montgomery attributed the altercation to Swayman's excellent play getting into the heads of Domi and the Maple Leafs - a sentiment that Sheldon Keefe had shut down instantly and dismissed as nonsense on Thursday.

Swayman himself didn't seem too bothered by the hit after picking up the 4-2 win. His take on the incident was actually rather surprising.
"He was just skating. I was skating. I told [my girlfriend] I had to do some more pushups, so I'm gonna go work on that tonight."
-Swayman on the altercation with Max Domi
Swayman may be young, but he knows what the playoffs are all about and after picking up a huge win and a 2-1 series lead, who can blame him for keeping a level head about the whole thing?
