Dan why do you think he wanted Korpi over Forsberg? What about Korpisalo's game (glove? rebound control? recovery?) has him as a better bet for the Bruins than Forsberg? I'm curious why Goalie Bob gave the thumb down to the guy who seemed to be the better asset.
my goaltending was limited to standing between two boots in a pond, and a doorway in the cellar.
But he has 115 career wins before 30. Was very good twice - when playing behind a strong Columbus team and D (Werenski, Seth Jones, Garikov, David Savard), and Kings D that featured Doughty, Anderson, Durzi etc
If Swayman was signed you get Forsberg but Sorcerer Bob likes Korpi likely
Carlo & Lindholm played Tuesday and you could see they were engaged with Korpi communicating with him
Going to Boston from Ottawa is like Sam Darnold going from Jets to Vikings, Jim Plunkett ending up on Raiders after Patriots
Or Rick Sutcliffe in 1984 mid season going from Cleveland to the Cubs
Sutcliffe’s 1984 season began with a 4-5 record and a 5.15 ERA in Cleveland before he got traded to the Cubs, where he went 16-1 with a 2.69 ERA
“We were in last place, 27 games out and overnight, I was in 1st place,” recalled Sutcliffe as he credited his teammates as the reason his season turned around the way it did. “Each one of these guys had a lot to do with that summer.”
I expect Swayman & Korpi to replicate Rask & Halak over next 3 years
