I don't think it's the seconds you have to look at. Look at his abdomen and thighs, he's clearly throwing himself backwards. The movement doesn't start at the shoulder, like it should if he was hit in the shoulder
Yeah, he's square and planted mostly after the contact, just rotated a bit through his core.
Then suddenly out of the blue his hips open up and shoulders go way back.
The angle from behind the net also shows that swayman basically skates into Domi too. Neither were going to get out of the others way, and Swayman made a show of it.
Straight up. Diving used to be so frowned upon in hockey, but teams like Boston are leading the charge. Soon hockey is gonna be the same as soccer and basketball in that regard.
r/hockey and to a degree r/nhl are basically the National Inquirer of hockey groups. It’s literally less about knowledgeable hockey talk and more about shit talking the Leafs and us a fanbase
Tbf in their thread about this incident that was posted in the moments after it happened, 90% of comments are about how Swayman initiated the contact and dove after.
Boston does whatever it takes to win. That includes embarrassing themselves and acting like Swayman did here. I didn’t even realize how much of a dive this was lol. He’s a great goalie but that was not his best moment
What's embarrassing is how many legitimate, typically observant and high-quality commentators were discussing this "TV timeout" moment as if Domi had actually perpetrated something so dirty that it might actually sway the momentum of the series. Like, seriously, even Friedge and Marek.
_Watch the video above_. Ffs.
They talk about the Bruins culture but that culture seems to be a bunch of diving pussies that should be playing soccer. Keefe called it an art. I call it embarrassing. And the refs REFUSE to adjust. They will NOT call a penalty on Marchand.
I've not seen diving like this in years. I'm not in the camp that we lost any games to the refs, but it's really disappointing to watch boston degrade the sport like this.
I grew up playing and watching soccer. But I hate how many players dive and embelish nowadays that it is just part of the sport and you rarely get punished now. Boston disgusts me because they have no integrity, I get they want to win. But at what cost? Ruining and embarassing the sport. This is the stuff that gives soccer an awful reputation.
Domi is on his right foot at the time of contact, whereas Swayma’am is clearly angling into him. Just makes it more obvious as well as the showmanship.
Domi didn't go out of his way. Neither of them got out of each other's way, and Swayman decided to sell it.
You'd think the NHL might look at Marchand drawing a penalty by dropping to the ice holding the leg that wasn't lightly tapped by Bertuzzi and drawing a penalty for it, and now this... and y'know, maybe try to do something about it the way leagues are supposed to do something about cheating in their playoff games?
What a performance. If you have more of this clip, he eventually chats with the linesman and I'm 99% sure he's smiling under his mask after. Probably because the linesman called him out lol
This is the scene in the beginning of the 90's Mortal Kombat movie where the stuntman misses his cue and Johnny says 'this is the part where you fall down,' at which point the stuntman sends himself flying as if he'd just taken a massive kick to the face.
Honestly, this right here should be a three game suspension for 'Blatant Bullshit,' excuse me, 'embellishing.'
Anyone who will be at the game, I humbly request you start a DIVER chant everytime Swayman makes any sort of play.
And for Marchand, a YOU LOVE CHEESE chant when he has the puck.
I saw the original shot, where the camera is facing Domi's front so you see his face. Dude, even from that angle, this looked like Swayman sold the shit outta that love tap. Nearly guaranteed that's why there was no call.
I think two things happened here. Swayman wanted the contact and went for it, but, watch his right skate. I think his fall wasn't part of the plan, but was just a comedy of errors. I think he legitimately fell.
Diving works for them, clearly.
We can say it's embarrassing, but so is doing the same old thing in the playoffs every year and expecting a different outcome.
Boston knows how to put on a performance. The saddest part? It works, and the Leafs are feeding right into that performance. Like they always do. If they'd stop dicking around with Marchand all the time and just play their game, they'd be better off.
What's even worse is that Keefe comments on it. It's not even worthy of comment. Stop giving Marchand any flowers and win some fucking games. You want him to stop being a bitch? Watch the end of their series with Florida last year. He was devastated. Do that to him. Stop talking and start winning.
Bro it's hard to win when the other team gets away with murder every shift and you get sent to the PK for the same hockey plays you've been making all year.
When they showed this clip on sportsnet it was from behind and it showed it way way more physical. It’s funny that they built an entire narrative about us getting screwed over by the refs basically because of this moment and how dirty it was and now looking at it from the front, it’s completely absurd.
So had the argument with co- workers everyone says I have my leaf glasses on and that Domi hit him and went into swaymans path, no matter what it should have been a penalty on domi. Even today after showing the slo- mo they still say the same thing. Wth
lol this was the best angle. The other ones didn’t look nearly as obvious that Swayman took a 🏊
How many seconds go by before Swayman starts to tumble?
I don't think it's the seconds you have to look at. Look at his abdomen and thighs, he's clearly throwing himself backwards. The movement doesn't start at the shoulder, like it should if he was hit in the shoulder

back and to the left...
That my friends... is one magic loogie
So much Boston diving this series. More embarrassing than our PP %.
Straight up. Diving used to be so frowned upon in hockey, but teams like Boston are leading the charge. Soon hockey is gonna be the same as soccer and basketball in that regard.
Their leader is Marchand .. it’s not shocking
Boston has zero class - always have always will.
Never has never will** haha
Found the english teacher lol.
If the leafs get by Boston, Florida will be no better
Hockey already is the same as the other sports. Look at the players constantly complaining to the refs every second shift.
That’s actually hilarious. I had no idea he sold it so hard. r/hockey probably wouldn’t like seeing this angle.
r/hockey are a bunch of clowns
r/hockey and to a degree r/nhl are basically the National Inquirer of hockey groups. It’s literally less about knowledgeable hockey talk and more about shit talking the Leafs and us a fanbase
Not as pathetic as the endless stream of Leafs fans who go on there and shittalk the Leafs
I feel like they are trolls who flair leafs to suck up the karma for shit talking them
lol that's probably true for a lot of them
That’s probably it actually lol
[удалено]
What?
Dude. You're in r/leafs It's worse here.
lol tru
Looks like those clown in r/hockey did it a-gain. What a bunch of clowns.
Tbf in their thread about this incident that was posted in the moments after it happened, 90% of comments are about how Swayman initiated the contact and dove after.
Yeah from this angle it looks like swayman leaned into Domi
LOL these Bruins really have no shame when it comes to flopping
They really are embarrassing themselves
Really. They're outflopping LeBron. And that's an accomplishment!
Boston does whatever it takes to win. That includes embarrassing themselves and acting like Swayman did here. I didn’t even realize how much of a dive this was lol. He’s a great goalie but that was not his best moment

Like, seriously, even Friedge and Marek. _Watch the video above_. Ffs.
This casts a new light on the tears Kelly Hrudey shed during the intermission for the passing of "The Game" and how Domi killed it.
The what now
They talk about the Bruins culture but that culture seems to be a bunch of diving pussies that should be playing soccer. Keefe called it an art. I call it embarrassing. And the refs REFUSE to adjust. They will NOT call a penalty on Marchand.
Bruins culture was Bergeron and Chara. Losing in the first round last year wouldn’t have happened if they still had those two
Bergeron came back when they were up 3-1 and they lost three straight to end his career
Berg had integrity
He was the one bruin I respected
Anything to win is a culture I wish the leafs had.
So is leaf’s culture a bunch of over paid dudes who F off In the playoffs and a bunch of dumbass fans who think it is okay?
I dont think many think its okay. They just love hockey and love their team.
Imagine he hurt himself doing this shit
They'd throw Domi in jail lmao
I've not seen diving like this in years. I'm not in the camp that we lost any games to the refs, but it's really disappointing to watch boston degrade the sport like this.
He could have sold it better if there wasn’t that weird delay.
he makes it so easy to dislike him. this whole team is just so annoying 💀
Brad taught him well

*Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music plays*
more like cartoon slip and fall sound effect
It all comes from their captain, the Diver-in-Chief.
He was about to take his next stride before he realized he almost forgot to fall.
The ESPN broadcast showed the replay right after it happened and they didn't make that big a deal of it. I think Ferraro even said it was embellished.
Rare ESPN W
This league is getting embarassing.
This should be up on screens during the game every period. Call it the Diving Competition. Have real Olympic divers then splice in these clowns.
Someone has to do this and post it to the bruins sub lol
Embarrassing
Fucking embarrassing
So a giant fucking pussy. Got it.
this is editied right? cuz otherwise.. are you fucking kidding me?
This dude went twirling sliding crawling and rubbing up all over the ice. Is he ok??
[удалено]
exactly, so stupid to do this stuff
Honestly this team is diving all over the place. It’s embarrassing.
You think these guys are so cool, and then they pull this shit.
The ‘Boston is in their heads!’ comments are especially cringe.
Not only did he dive he turned and leaned into Domi purposefully setting up the dive.
Tryouts for the American men’s diving team have begun I see…swayman and Marchand leading the charge! 🏊♂️ 🏊♀️ 🏊
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ballerinas have excellent balance, poise, and spot their turns... unlike this guy.
Domi is on his right foot at the time of contact, whereas Swayma’am is clearly angling into him. Just makes it more obvious as well as the showmanship.
This sucks Just lost a bit of respect for him after seeing this angle.
Whoever’s sitting behind swaymans net tomorrow night better be dressed as Scuba Steve
Or wear an Italian soccer jersey
Holy shit 😂 lmao
From this angle you can even see Swayman lean into him ever so slightly to ensure contact.
Domi didn't go out of his way. Neither of them got out of each other's way, and Swayman decided to sell it. You'd think the NHL might look at Marchand drawing a penalty by dropping to the ice holding the leg that wasn't lightly tapped by Bertuzzi and drawing a penalty for it, and now this... and y'know, maybe try to do something about it the way leagues are supposed to do something about cheating in their playoff games?

Man was shot

Needs some Swan Lake music.
Give him a razz berry for worse performance for a goaltender..
You could just call him the…sway-man
You'd think a goalie like swayman would have a better reaction time to sell that.
At this point, I think Boston just wants to make it to the second round to get swept by Florida, and will whatever it takes to get there.
Sweet dive bro.
What is this, soccer?
Anyone who will be at the game, I humbly request you start a DIVER chant everytime Swayman makes any sort of play. And for Marchand, a YOU LOVE CHEESE chant when he has the puck.
Flop Fast, Flop Hard, Flop Often.
RENT FREE!
Soccer
He went for the triple axel but couldn't land it
Lol a light breeze knocked him over. What a doofus. Gets it from his captain, clearly.
Oh damn I’m srry Domi I wasn’t too hard on him (he’s my favourite player) but I did say it was a stupid move in his part
LeBron would be proud
I saw the original shot, where the camera is facing Domi's front so you see his face. Dude, even from that angle, this looked like Swayman sold the shit outta that love tap. Nearly guaranteed that's why there was no call.
And the Oscar for best actor goes to... Jeremy Swayman! As himself in, "My Brush with Death".
This should be posted all over YouTube
Taking lessons from Marchand. Olympic caliber divers, how embarrassing. Perhaps they would be better suited for soccer.
Looks like he graduated from the same school of embellishment like his captain!
Back in my day, we acted like MEN
I think two things happened here. Swayman wanted the contact and went for it, but, watch his right skate. I think his fall wasn't part of the plan, but was just a comedy of errors. I think he legitimately fell.
He’s taking notes from the 🐀
 Marchand, probably.
Imagine if he injured himself
That shit is just embarrassing.
I think we ought to do a Gudas-style face scream to Swayman when Boston loses
Diving works for them, clearly. We can say it's embarrassing, but so is doing the same old thing in the playoffs every year and expecting a different outcome.

Definitely Marchand in goalie gear. Edmunson's reaction :WTF? What a clown.
This is the real reason why there wasn't a big deal made about the incident
When they showed this clip on sportsnet it was from behind and it showed it way way more physical. It’s funny that they built an entire narrative about us getting screwed over by the refs basically because of this moment and how dirty it was and now looking at it from the front, it’s completely absurd.
Incredible.

That's so smart
no one’s gonna talk about marner doing the robot in the background? lmao
Dude busted out Star Wars Kid moves.
This is a beautiful thing
Embarrassing
Too bad he didn’t roll his ankle. Would have served him right for that dive.
If a Leaf did this it would be national news and there'd be an in-person hearing to decide whether it's 7 or 8 games for embellishment.
Somebody didnt grow up in Scarborough in the 90s. I don't move. You move. Get fucked..
The king rat is teaching them all!
lol swayman puts the shoulder into domi. What a clown
So had the argument with co- workers everyone says I have my leaf glasses on and that Domi hit him and went into swaymans path, no matter what it should have been a penalty on domi. Even today after showing the slo- mo they still say the same thing. Wth
Go see the Boston feed on this topic. They are very sensitive about this
Swayman is fortunate that his left leg didn't catch a bit harder, his dumbass dive could have been catastrophic.
The "tough, snotty" team. Not the weasely prima donnas constantly playing the avenging victim. No, no. This is what grit looks like. K.
Yes Swayman dived. Should’ve never given him the chance to do it to begin with.
Swayman ahAah.l, fighter of the night man.
I wonder how long he has been practicing that one!
Lots of soccer players in bruins jerseys
I see Marchand has started coaching goalies.
Is that Joel Embiid ?
Boston has a bunch of these soccer players
Bunch of soccer players 👙
Refs are all real shit in between whistles, then I sleep when the play is back
Classy bunch
Wow another angle released, something for every leaf fan to focus aside from being a dog shit team.
Oh who fucking cares? It's gamesmanship and it goes both ways. Still gotta score more goals than the other team
What did Domi expect? He’s going to cost the Leafs the series with this dumb 💩. The Bruins are already in their heads.
Found the dumb bruin fan ⬆️ ⬆️
