Yeah I mean Columbus knew it was a fluke. They liked Elvis better for whatever reason

You mean they shouldn't have locked him up to big contract?
Elvis, another goalie who looked very promising for a few years and washed up before 30. Similar stats to Korpisalo last year and is only making 5.4 million for 3 more years.

A tough first game for Joonas. Every goalie has bad nights. The team played very poorly in front of him. I’ll reserve judgment until after about 10 starts here, but this first game preview showed he did look every bit the career .901 / 3.08 goaltender he has proven to be over his 275 game NHL career. Still can’t believe they took on 4 full years at $3M per for a 30 year old guy with his track record without even receiving a major sweetener in the trade for doing so.

His rebound control is terrible and if the Bruins D clears the front of the net the way they did last night it’s a recipe for disaster.

Blow it up
Won't it be ironic when Sweeney has to throw in a 1st to get rid of Korpi.
Would be quite funny, but they probably just let him play in the AHL at that point

Real tough start to the season. Team in front of him also did him zero favors. There were guys wide open in front of him multiple times last night.
Let's see how he responds. Its game 1.

pretty easy buy out numbers next season, not a big deal
Well it really depends on what comes back in the deal. If they give up a first and Korpi to get a 2nd line RW, then so be it. But either way the only way they will deal a first with Korpi is if they are using that space on a different player
Goaltending was the least of our problems last night. Carlo and Mason are a disaster
Does Carlo have any trade value toward getting a skilled forward? Send Mason down to Providence he's not a NHL player yet. Is his two nice stick handling moves per game worth his terrible D play on every shift?
Let him learn the position in the minors or move him to forward and be done with it.

Florida had an expected goals for last night of 5.1 and Korpisalo gave up 6. There were two I thought he should have had, but the rest there wasn't much he could do about it. 4 of the 6 goals came in the high danger area and I put that on the defense.
Can’t believe some blaming that mess on the goalie. D terrible and team defense was worse.
Korpisalo, woke up this morning and realize that it was just a dream, and he was still in Ottawa, that team in front of him last night was a disgrace.
To hang that loss, just on Korpi, when the team was a no show for 2 periods, is not being fair.
He had a high number of high danger shots and it could have been worse.
From the defense pairings, not being consistent, throughout camp, and the team as constituted not playing together, very much, throughout camp, how can you build familiarity with linemates or D pairings.
I'm starting to believe this is a poorly coached team.
Charlie Mc may be the most overrated 9.5M in the NHL. He seems to regressed every year, at least defensively.

Does it though? He hasn't even played a game for them. They gave up a lot in $ on top of what they had to give up in the trade.
The one redeeming aspect of last night for Korpisalo is that the performance in front of him probably felt a lot like last season in Ottawa.

Last night, Korpisalo looked SLOW, and he was down on his knees way too much.
Aside from that, he looked alright.

Had issues with rebounds but our defense didn't do him any favors either. Poor team effort all around.

Shots on goal at one point were 14-1.
It was a siege, not a hockey game at that point.
It was Manchester City vs. Wrexham.

I didn't find much to blame with Korpi last night. He made some great saves, including breakways shots, and he looked like a solid NHL goaltender. No goalie was going to look good with that shitshow in front of them, not even our 8.25 million dollar man.

We also signed everyone we wanted this season also not a huge deal for this years team.
No reason to wait on Bussi. I'd probably give him the Habs and Florida and let Sway go vs LAK.
Then it's 2/3 Sway rest of the way.
