Yeah, we can do that. Hopefully, you'll be the one buying drinks this time around. And I'm sorry, but after losing 10 to 2, you couldn't have expected me to be in a good mood. I don't think that means I was being a giant baby, though. Wait, what do we need to talk about that you need alcohol for? Sounds serious. Should I be worried?

[swaymanblvd]

we'll see, big guy, but i have a feeling you'll be the one buying drinks. have you guys won a game yet? or are you still in your slump? you were about to get laid though, i feel like that should have put you in a better mood over losing 10 to 2. which means you were being a giant baby. it's nothing that serious, i just think there are some things we need to talk about, but nothing you need to be worried about. i shouldn't have worded it like that.

[huddyw]

talk of the locker room, huh? that's dope. i hope it was in a positive light because i'm sure you guys are getting sick of our asses now that it's blown up. thanks, man. please, i encourage you to be as cocky as you want. it's a nice balance to my delusion. i'll give it my best but if you wanna be a lil nice and let me get one score then i wouldn't complain about that. who's the number 1 ranked?? and can you slide me their number? i need to challenge them too. about to become a real pain to all the NHL goalies. maybe sometime next month? if i'm not still being held hostage by work?

[swaymanblvd]

there's always going to be some assholes, especially in a sport like hockey, but for the most part it was all in a positive light locker room talk wise. and i got ribbed a little because of the show, but it was all in good fun and it's bringing people to watch hockey more, ticket sales are up even, so i love it. i normally don't pay attention to standings, but my friend was telling me the other day that i was 4th in the standings, and i couldn't believe it. and alright, i'll see what i can do if you give it your best and maybe you'll score on me. number one ranked is karel vejmelka, and i'll just tell you right now he's a beast. i'll give you his number, though, and if you need anymore goalie introductions i'll hook you up. sometime next month would work, you can come out to boston. i'll even take you out for a few drinks after, especially if you score on me, because that means you've earned them.

I hope it's not your last either; your team is doing pretty good, right? Oh, well, I had gotten the role, and I was so focused on that, I just didn't think to tell you, and then I kind of went ghost on you, and you know how the rest went. Did you watch the show? Or was that too weird for you? And thank you, I've got a lot of amazing things thanks to the show, so I'm pretty happy. I did have my reasons; you're not wrong about that, and I'm really sorry for hurting you though; that wasn't my intention at all. I should have explained, because yeah, my doing the show had something to do with it. I just knew I was going to Canada to film, and I just felt it was better to cut ties. I just should have done it better. Do you know what you guys are having? I'm glad you're so excited, you're going to be an awesome dad!

[swaymanblvd]

we're 4th in our division right now, so we're not doing bad, but we could be doing better. yeah, that's what i kind of figured happened. and i did watch the show, and it really wasn't that weird for me. i wasn't expecting the show to be as intense or sexual as it was, but it was a good show and you did a good job, your costar too. i'm glad to hear that you're happy though, you deserve that. in the grand scheme of things, we were just hooking up anyway, so the fact that i allowed my self to get hurt over you ghosting me was on me anyway. i wish you would have told me because i would have understood why you wanted to cut ties, but what's done is done. and i don't hold it against you if you're worried about that. and no, we both decided that we didn't want to find out. and thank you, i'm pretty nervous about becoming a dad but really excited about it too. even though it's not an ideal situation since i'm not with the mom, i know we're going to love the baby so much.

[huddyw]

sooooo, i don't know if you've seen heated rivalry or not, but it gave me some pretty wicked hockey skills and now i'm here to ask you to a little one on one match one day? maybe it's the brain damage talking or the delusional voices in my head, but i'm pretty sure i could maybe get a shot or two in. maybe three on a good day. only one way to find out so what do you say? @swaymanblvd

[swaymanblvd]

i have seen heated rivalry, it was the talk of the locker room so i ended up watching it. which you and connor did a great job, by the way, it was a real fun show to watch. but you want to go one on one with me? i'm up for it, though i don't mean to be cocky, but it might be slightly delusional of you, but only because i'm one of the best goalies in the nhl, ranked 4th, i believe. but i like the fact that you have faith in yourself, and that's why i'm all for this. just let me know when and i'll make arrangements!

[rachbrosnahan]

Be honest with me, is being a goalie more about reflexes or about having the emotional range to stare down an entire arena and think, yeah, I’ve got this? Because that level of composure feels like a skill all on its own. / @swaymanblvd

[swaymanblvd]

some goalies would tell you about reflexes and some would tell you it's about having that emotional range, i'm here to tell you it's about both. because you need to have those reflexes, but you also need to stare down that entire rink and think i got this too. you also have to be able to handle people coming at you full speed on skates trying to score on you, knowing they could knock into you, so it's just a lot of things at once you've got to be prepared for.

[swaymanblvd]

i have to say that i loved you in abigail, that film was so good, and you did such a fantastic job in it. and i've watched you in the screams as well, which you did a fantastic job as well. do you really like doing horror films? is that a genre that you have a lot of fun with? @melissabcrrera

[swaymanblvd]

just noticed we're going to be playing each other on the 29th, and i'm really looking forward to it. not sure if i'm going to be in goal that night, but if i am i look forward to seeing you on the ice and going against you. how've you been doing, though, man? @limelightzegras

[swaymanblvd]

i've been following your career since stranger things, and i have to say that you're one of those actors that i could never get sick of seeing in things. in fact, i think they should cast you in more things because i love watching you do your thing so much. i've watched warfare far too many times because i loved the film so much, and you did such a fantastic job, the same with fantastic four. and i'll admit, i was a little iffy about fantastic four because it had been done so much, but you guys really owned that one. @josephaquinn

[swaymanblvd]

since we're playing against each other on the 26th, do you want to get together after and have a few drinks? loser buys? hopefully you're in a better mood than you were the night we beat you 10 to 2, you were being such a giant baby that night. plus, i think we should talk about a few things anyway, and the liquid courage will help me along with what i've got to say. @rempematt

[swaymanblvd]

i know that you're a singer and an actress, but has there ever been anything else you've wanted to do? if the whole singing and acting thing didn't work out for you, did you ever have a backup plan on something else that you'd want to do? because i've always known i wanted to be a hockey player, and i never really had a backup plan, i just always hoped and prayed i'd make it to the nhl. @dovecfm

[swaymanblvd]

i'm not sure if you're a hockey fan or not, but if you are, what does a man have to do to convince you to come to a bruins game sometime? because i just know some of my teammates would go wild seeing you there. there's a few of us that are huge jonas brothers fans after all, and obviously you're our favorite. is that helping sweeten the deal to get you to come to a bruins game? @jcdam

[swaymanblvd]

i'm really looking forward to the next ready or not, because i loved the first one so much. you were honestly made for films like that. has anyone ever told you that before? because you do such a good job in them. after ready or not comes out in march, is there anything else you have coming out that i can look forward to watching? @thesamaraweavings

[swaymanblvd]

[storriesconnor]

Saw you had a shutout the other day against the Red Wings, Sway; that's awesome. I'll admit I've been watching a little bit more hockey sometimes since being on the show, and it's been interesting to watch. Anyway, just thought I'd reach out and say hi, give you congrats on the shutout, and also apologize for ghosting you. I was kind of a dick, and I didn't mean to be. But rumor has it you're going to be a dad any day now? So congrats on that, man. / @swaymanblvd

[swaymanblvd]

i did, it was my first shutout of the season, but hopefully not my last. and i'll say i was a little shocked when heated rivalry came out and i realized you were one of the leads, you never told me you were working on a gay romance hockey show. but you've had a lot of success from it, so that's great, i'm happy for you. you don't need to apologize for that, i figured you had your reasons for ghosting me. it hurt at the time, but i got over it. though i'm going to guess your doing the show had something to do with it? and yeah, i'm going to be a dad. my ex is due in a few months, i'm pretty excited about it.

[omarjosuex]

this is embarrassing to admit, especially as someone who grew up in Sweden, but i've only gotten into hockey after watching Heated Rivalry. i know, i'm a basic bitch and so predictable. i know very little of the rules but i'm trying my best here. though, that goalie stretch you guys do before every game has got to be my favorite. have you been playing since you were a kid? was it something you've always wanted to do? / @swaymanblvd

[swaymanblvd]

you're a swede, and you only got into hockey because of heated rivalry, oh wow. they're going to take your swede card away i'm afraid. i'm mostly teasing, but it seems that show has brought a lot of new viewers, so that's not a bad thing. you like the goalie stretch? a lot of people love goalies for some reason, which i am thankful for since i am one. but they think we're the odd ones of the bunch too. i've been playing since i've been 4, been skating since i turned 3. and yeah, i've always known hockey was going to be my life in some way. what about you? are you doing what you always assumed you'd be doing?

[andreiiosivaz]

i promised myself i'd start watching other sports, and now guess what? you have the chance to explain hockey to me and how everything works, and i might even root for your team. you hit the jackpot, obviously, having to deal with me and talk about your job? amazing way to start the year. @swaymanblvd

[swaymanblvd]

what made you want to reach out to a hockey player? you could have watched any sport, so i'm just wondering, why hockey? but i'll gladly explain the sport to you and help you understand it, and if you want to root for the bruins in the process, i'm all for that. it's a shame you don't play for my favorite team, but i don't hold that against you. and i suppose having to deal with you isn't a bad thing.
