The chances that Sweezy will crack the opening night roster with the Boston bruins is fairly low, but he is proving to the organization he is willing to drop the glove and defend his teammates when they need it, even if it is in preseason. He was bullying Flyers top round draft pick Matvei Michkov with some shots and Flyers captain Sean Couturier was happy to step in and try and take care of it with his fists.

«I got hit high and to the face. I take exception to that. Probably innocent, probably an accident, but that's part of the game I'm going to implement for myself, being physical and hard,» the Yale alum said.


When asked after the game what was said betweent the two players, he said he wanted to show the team he wasn't afraid to drop the mitts when it matters most.

«Couturier came over and I wanted to show I wasn't afraid to answer the bell,» Sweezey said.


Sweezey signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Bruins this offseason after playing for AHL Cleveland Monsters in the Columbus Blue Jackets organization.
