For the last few season, the Boston Bruins thrived having a goalie tandem with Vezina winning goalie Linus Ullmark and up in coming superstar Jeremy Swayman. With Ullmark gone, Carlo chimed into gov this 2 cents in the Bruins' future.
Carlo commented on the Swayman situation and was able to empathize with what he is going through and feel it will not effect the Bruins moving forward.
I feel like in Boston just a couple of years ago, I was late to camp as well,» Carlo told THN.com's Michael Traikos at the NHL and NHL Players' Association's Player Media Tour in Las Vegas last week. «And (fellow Bruins D-man)
Charlie McAvoy, he missed a couple of days of camp. Those things just kind of sort themselves out. I feel like we have a lot of faith within our organization and our management to get the right deal done.
It's obviously a balance of going back and forth, but I've had some conversations with Swayman, and he seems pretty encouraged and in a good mindset with it all. So as long as he's feeling OK mentally, that's all we really care about.»
He talked about how amazing it was to have two starting goalies as a tandem and says that he has never seen two goalies who compete for one job support and push each other like that. It's special.
It was pretty incredible,» Carlo said of the Ullmark and Swayman tandem. «I don't know if I've ever seen that comfort level between two guys with the aspect of just supporting each other fully. And it was really special for me being on the defensive aspect, because when one of them wasn't playing they'd be sitting right there next to us and their interaction during the TV timeouts and what-not would really like decompress me in the aspect where I wouldn't be as nervous and and I would be a little bit more calm, just because they were having fun and enjoying the process. I've learned a lot from both of them.»
He ended his interview saying he has full confidence in Swayman moving forward as the teams number one guy in between the pipes and that his calm and beyond his years personality is exactly what the Bruins need.
I would say Swayman's way beyond his years,» Carlo said before offering one final compliment to both Swayman and Ullmark. «(Swayman is) very smart and very composed. And Linus as well. What a great guy to be around on and off the ice.»
With only a day before camp it seems Swaan will not be joking the team right away but just like Carlo mentioned, he has full confidence in the conversations he had with Sway that a deal will get done.
