It's not the past five games I'm worried about, it's the next 405 games that we have signed Korpisalo to play.

I trust Forsberg way more and that was before Korpisalo even played his first game here

This is playing out as I thought it would.
I don’t think anyone is going to like korpisalo
Forsberg is clearly the superior goalie, it's not even a debate. The rotating goaltender idea needs to be shot dead. Forsberg is the #1. Just like how Chabot should never be leading our D in icetime, he's our #3 now. Coaching needs to smarten up with their deployment and lineup choices.

While I agree with you on Forsberg being the better goalie, I'm not sure we can give up on Chabot just yet, although I agree he is frustrating to watch sometimes. He just has so much talent & is an excelent skater, but he seems to have lost his tool box & makes some bone head decisions. But given his talent he could easily turn that around quickly, but we need him to be consistently good game in & game out. Stutzle makes some bad plays too & made several today.
I'm not ready to give up on Korpisalo yet, but I've said for awhile that signing a famously inconsistent goaltender to a 5 year deal following a good season was not a risk worth taking.
He's always been a guy who can steal a game and lose you one. The type of goaltender who can make an outrageous save and then let in a soft goal in the same shift.

I don't disagree with your points on Chabot. I think he has a place on our team, as the #3 defensemen. Playing him in his current state above that is just simply bad coaching unless injuries occur.
The last point about Chabot and Stutzle. Chabot takes more heat, but I believe that's due to Chabot committing more errors in the last two seasons without showing signs of improvement. Stutzle is obviously still improving and hasn't shown a long common trend in that regard like Chabot. If Stutzle does show that, he'll take the same heat as well. They're both special players (although I do question Chabot's intelligence), but one has been struggling for two seasons and the other is off to a slow start.

People forgot Mike Condon's contract too
Did you make this post after looking at my avatar?
We lost so many trade trees under Dorion, it's actually incredible that we have any kind of future. Think of Zibanejad/Brassard, Turris/Duchene, Stone, 7th OA/DeBrincat and what we have left for all that... JBD, Thomson, Brannstrom and a conditional first.

And they got two of the best players in that 2020 draft who are playing here, Tkachuk arguably is one of the best from his draft yr & is playing here, Norris has been great who they got in a trade who is playing here, Batherson was a later pick & has been very productive playing here. This team has a lot of good players too.
DJ loves the see saw goaltenders. Don’t know how you don’t start forsberg today after he bailed us out in the first against Washington.

Disagree. That 3-1 goal was a back-breaker that should have been easily stopped. It’s not like he was being shelled with pucks today.
Ok? What does that have to do with Korpisalo?

I think it's him wanting both goaltenders in the rotation given how many days are between games since Washington.

Highest rated Goaltender on the UFA market this past offseason….
So who should PD have brought in, and how?
5 goals on 23 shots looks bad win or lose... majority of Detroit's 23 shots were high quality chances...and he did make some big saves in the first period to keep the game at 1-1 ...
No need to panic...1PM games are lame and the early start clearly affected the play of some guys. I guess AD choosing to dip pissed off a lot of the Sens players; often choosing to focus on him instead of the game.
A few times this season we've witnessed the Sens hold the opposition without a shot on net for an extended period of time and with that I wonder about the impact such stretches have on goalies.

Sogaard looking pretty good in Belleville, would have solved our cap issue too...

It was 1 on 3 shots and 3 on 9 shots then 4 on 15 shots.
Looked bad all the time but those 1st 2 PP goals were basically unstoppable.

Yeah I’m honestly not seeing much of an improvement on Sogaard when I watch Korpisalo tbh
