Jeremy Swayman sitting at triple-digit Vezina odds is wild, and Bruins fans know why it stings.

On Saturday, analyst Jesse Granger pointed out just how lopsided the market looks right now. He had Andrei Vasilevskiy as the favorite and Ilya Sorokin close behind, while Swayman was priced at 125-to-1.

That's not a small gap. That's “did anyone actually watch Boston this year?” territory.

Swayman's raw season line won't scream runaway award. He's at 23-13-3 with a 2.85 goals-against and a .905 save percentage.

But context matters, and that's the heart of Granger's argument. The Bruins have asked their goalies to survive long stretches where the five-man game gets leaky.

When Boston wins ugly, it's often because Swayman calms the chaos between the pipes.

And the funny part is the odds aren't even consistent everywhere. One major board had him at +8000 earlier this week, still long, but not “buried alive” long.

Granger's tweet is here, and it's worth reading the thread for the full case.

Boston's spot in the race adds fuel too. As of Sunday, the Bruins are 35-22-5, and every point has felt like a grind.

That grind is exactly where Vezina narratives get built.

Jeremy Swayman can drag the Boston Bruins forward

Bruins fans are split right now, because we've seen the soft goals, but we've also seen the nights where Swayman steals oxygen from the other bench.

Take the recent 2-1 win over Pittsburgh, where he stopped 34 shots and shut the door for the final 40 minutes.

If Boston tightens up even a little on the blue line, Swayman's numbers can jump in a hurry.

And if the Bruins stay in the playoff picture, voters tend to notice the goalie who kept the whole thing from cracking.

So are the odds “ridiculous?” Maybe. But the bigger point is this, Boston doesn't need Swayman to be perfect, it needs him to be the reason games stay winnable.
