Good point on the goalie coach. Fair to observe that he may just need some time with his new coach, not unlike how you can see (most of) the team improving under the new changes with Jacques Martin.

He was very good tonight... best I've seen him in a while! Chych was solid too. Loved how Sandy played too but that is more expected and predictable.

Great comments from Tank again... I am really leaning towards wanting to keep him around if the price is right

I'd love to have him back, I just assume he wants to move on.Martin: We had our opportunities

If we move one of Chabot or Chych, there's plenty of room for him, it might be tight if we keep everyone though...
He seems to either be in full throw everything on net shooting mode or full playmaking mode. He’ll be more dangerous if he can find balance.

First game in awhile that Chychrun didn’t do anything to annoy me.

Neither was Talbot last year and now look at him. This teams defence in the past 35 games has been putrid. I'll give you that Korpisalo has been inconsistent, but he isn't that bad. Name someone we can sign in place of him who will play better.
I liked his reaction after the goal. Basically a f***-you to the Booins.

Tarasenko's comments are consistent with Martin's the last couple weeks. We totally outplayed Boston and the message is that we still weren't good enough.Martin: We had our opportunities

Total 180 from what it would have been 2 months ago.
We're starving for first round picks but if this guy is willing to sign here for 1-2 years, we have to keep him. He might be slow but he at least tries his ass off, is a very smart player and still has the necessary skill to put up points.
Side note: reporters ask some really stupid questions

Have you looked at Talbot lately? 2-8-4 with a .891 sv% in his last 14 games.

2 on 1 Sanderson is denying the pass. I am not a goalie.. is he positioned right / cutting down the angle ? Is it just a really well placed shot?
Former goalie's opinion. I don't mind goal #3 but #2 is a killer. I'd like a save on both but #2 he was SO far out of his net and yet still got beat up high. Korpi has all kinds of athleticism and plays aggressive but he regularly isn't square to the shooter.
Just as a follow up. A goalie with his size shouldn't be letting in goals on clean shots if he's out past the top of the crease unless he's off his angles. Marchand is a good shooter sure but his release is normal and not like Matthews or Bedard so you should be able to better predict the release point. I like Korpi before this year but he's constantly leaving openings that shouldn't be there. .
The reverse angle shows how bad he was off his angle. He over played it. From Marchand's view it would have looked like an open net.
That's not true. He has barely had any one-timers this year.
If anything they should get back to feeding him. The PP looks incredibly disjointed and they keep trying to pass it through the seams with no success.

Disclaimer : I am not a goalie expert nor am I trying to pretend being one.
That being said, here's my assessment of Korpisalo. Evidently, I think we can all agree that he's had his ups and downs. He's made some great saves that show flashes of his potential, similar to what he showed in the playoffs last year with the Kings. Obviously the issue is consistency for a whole 60 minutes and ill timed goals against. I believe some of it can be attributed to the team as a whole and the trademark Benny Hill themed team defence this franchise has been playing for the past 5+ years.
He's exactly the same age as Anderson was when we acquired him (29 going on 30). Has a lot of years ahead of him if he can stay healthy. I think that with a good system that supports him instead of highlighting his weakness that provides some kind of stability, he has the potential to be, at the very least, a good / above average #1 goalie.
If he ever reaches that potential is a whole other debate, but he's showing good signs imo and he hasn't played enough games post-surgery with an "organized" team to say with certainty that "he is what he is". Jury is still out, but I'm ready to give him a full year after this one to really see what we have here. He's already looking better in front of a Martin coached team.

Anyone who has watched the last 5 or so games and doesn’t know this team has gotta be scratching their heads on how we are 29th place

Why the f*** do we have 9 days off for the all star game? Everyone else has like 5 days.
I saw that. The schedule for us this year has been atrocious.

No way.
For all his faults and deflating goals, Lalime could get dialed in for extended periods and actually finish off a playoff series or two.
Korpisalo can rarely finish off a game without something going horribly wrong.

Let's hope they don't practice the PP too much...
