Mike Milbury has given Jeremy Swayman a very cool nickname.
No matter how the Boston Bruins' series with the Florida Panthers ends, Jeremy Swayman deserves all the praise in the world. The Alaska native is the primary reason the Bruins have made it this far, as his goaltending has been spectacular. In 11 playoff appearances, he has a .933 SV% and a 2.16 GAA.
Swayman's remarkable play has naturally gotten the attention of the hockey world, including former Bruins defenseman and head coach Mike Milbury.
While on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show," Milbury not only said that he views Swayman as an X-factor heading into Game 6 against the Cats but also gave him a spectacular new nickname in the process.
"You gotta have Swayman being a showstopper or 'Swaystopper.' He's gotta be on top of his game. Two days off, I think it was good for him... This guy seems to be as focused as anyone."

Swaystopper is a clever nickname for Swayman, and it should be used more frequently.
It will now be interesting to see how Swayman performs for the Bruins in Game 6. The All-Star is under a lot of pressure with this being a win-or-go-home game, but he surely has the potential to force a Game 7.
