At this point I'm anxious to see if he's legit. Hopefully he gets the nod before I head to Pittsburgh on the 21st, wins the job from CMac and we have something to show for with that game.

Now we get to see whether Torts has "overloyaltyitis" regarding goalies. Most coaches do.
CMac has not won a game since Feb 20th. He failed to hold onto the LA game and stunk to the high heavens last night. While the CBJ are probably out of it, I doubt Torts is conceding that yet.
Starting CMac again is akin to waving the white flag. Start the Korpse. That doesn't sound right.

I think its too early to go with Korpisalo. McE has been a good sport his entire tenure here, and Torts has even praised his work ethic. He deserves a few games in a row.
I mean look how hyped Forsberg was and he fell straight on his face.
But who knows maybe we'll get Steve Mason pt2.
Exactly. Some people think goalies are machines you can turn on and off.
Starting all 5 b2b games is just crazy, especially when McElhinney isn't bad.
As much as I respect CMac and think he can keep us in games - seeing him lay a stinker against Winnipeg has me a bit worried whether or not he might have declined more than anticipated.
Granted not much to go on - but still a bit worrying.
Interested to see Korp just for a possible spark if he were to come in and play lights out... could go a long way towards the morale of the guys.

What, me worry?
It wasn't that bad until he got lit up the other night. He was around 2.5 with a around .912. Until this evening he allowed 7 goals in the last two games.
It might have been different if they didn't let McElhinney get cold many times and with the allowed rest for Bobrovsky he might still be playing.

He should take as much times as he needs. When I heard from the CBJ PR that he was ahead of schedule and saw him traveling around with the team during road trips I got worried they were trying to force him back too early to try to save this season. No use. Just let him rest until February if you have to.

Has he had a previous injury going back to his teen days? Seems like he suffers a groin injury of differing severity every year
I suppose playing goalie would place great strain on those muscles

I don't remember failed comebacks in the past. At least not mid-season. Ok I could be wrong on this one, but I don't remember that last year (as an example). He normally comes back and plays his best hockey after injuries.
