Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman has been looking for a fight… for years. If you thought he was going to pass up an opportunity to finally drop the gloves on a national stage during the Stadium Series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, you’re even crazier than he is. Swayman, who kickstarted the tension by leaping in on a scrum in his own crease, was immediately challenged for his transgressions by Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy — and accepted. Swayman struggled to find his footing, but landed a couple of punches before being wrestled to the ground. Vasilevskiy nicely waited for…

So why, as ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham reported Tuesday, did 11 Hall of Fame voters keep the former New England Patriots head coach off their ballots and deny him the 40 out of 50 votes necessary to make the cut? OutKick’s Armando Salguero is a good person to ask. The longtime NFL reporter presented Belichick as a candidate during a meeting earlier this month with the 50 Hall of Fame voters who were tasked with selecting…
