Watch game 1 over again. then watch it twice. What you are saying is just not da truth. Watch da Korpisalo save off of Matty, then Mitch's chance and best of all watch da save on Tavares. After you see those 3 saves in game 1 which were HIGHLIGHT REEL 10 bellers bar none then show me 1 chance CLB had was was even remotely close to any of those 3 chances. Truth is it was a complete beat down Korpisalo over Andersen. Then watch da CLB floater goal to win 1-0. It had NOTHING TO DO WITH STATS. 1 goaler was just flat out better thsan another goaler. Like a AAA kid against a houseleaguer.
I don't even believe in stats at all. I totally go off of my eye test. I realize that there are times when that causes errors in judgement but again rewatch game 1. Matty's 2 chances in 2nd, Mitch's chance in 1st and JT's chance in 3rd were all directly in front of Korpisalo with no one in between. All were in kill zone blue ice. All where Korpisalo had to make a quick and great move to get to puck to make save ie. no one hit him in chest with any of those 3 chances. They were all prime time 10 beller chances. None of shots were flubbed. All 3 should have been expected goals. We should have been winning 3-0. But Korpisalo played superman and made 3 saves which even Price does not make. Matty scores those 2 almost every single time and he made great shots on both chances but got completely stoned. The one where Korpisalo comes across net in splits and grabs blast with his glove in top corner common man that was by FAR best save of da entire playoffs of any series. And all we asked of our guy is to make da regular normal ho hum everyday save which he missed one. 1 softie and that's game. I suggest you truly watch game over again. This was blatantly obvious. Sure he made a good follow on da Dubois breakaway but honest he went to his backhand and tried to deke and shove it under pad. Yes it was a breakaway but it was a standard save. There was a great chance late in 2nd where he came across crease and made a 10 beller on da forehand. I stood up and applauded just like you did. But it was 1 10 beller save. Korpisalo made 3 of those.
I thought CLB played better than we did in game 1 that we can agree on. But bottom line we had da better prime time chances to score and we got stoned. And Korpisalo stoned are best 3 guys. Freddy made 1 save where you jumped out of your seat in 2nd in front of net. That deserved much praise. It should have been 3-1 us after 2 periods. Even if he lets in da softie we win 3-2. No one give 2 sh*ts. We won. But Korpisalo made 3 outrageous saves and Freddy made 1 outrageous save. Then the softie. Game over.
