Bruins' Swayman, Canucks' Demko Joke About All-Star Hug Snub

Bruins goalie tells reporters he and Canucks counterpart joked about moment

Swayman: "He's a good guy"

BOSTON -- When they saw each other before morning skate at TD Garden on Thursday, Jeremy Swayman joked with Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko about a moment that went viral from NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto.

Over the weekend, Demko and Swayman were participating in All-Star festivities, and on Friday night ahead of the Skills Competition, Swayman was part of a group of players who hugged it out on the ice. Demko was not part of that hug, and the clip of the snub made the rounds on social media.

On Thursday, Swayman told reporters that he and Demko had a good laugh about the moment.

"He's a good guy," Swayman said. "We had a good laugh about it. It's all in good fun. It's all part of the game."
