It's not just about shots, but getting used to game speed, conditioning, working on technique, etc.

Again, how much of that does he get in a preseason vs 20 games into an NHL season? I can’t get past the article paywall but I believe that might have been true for his first few starts but he’s well into it now. He needs to be better.

Swayman's ego has damaged this team IMO . He put himself above the team, and it has hurt the product on the ice. He may need a chat with Bergeron if he wants to be a winner. and a Bruin

Behind that D even Rask would look like a Jim Carey. Swayman hasnt shine, but that D just sucks. As a goalie you just cannot do anything if D lets guys to run straight at your goal (like Mathius shorthander).

"The player should of just bent over and did what is best for the organization!"

This isn't about millionaires vs billionaires. This is about guy who made his goalie friends more important than his teammates. And all of his teammates know that.

It’s always weird to me how teams can treat this like the business it is but if a player does, they’re labeled selfish. Gtfo of here with that nonsense. Swayman negotiated a deal and the Bruins paid it. Their team defense is trash. Their offense is trash. No goalie will fix that.

But even so, give Korpisalo some consecutive starts over the next week or so.

Like usual you are little bit lost but you are right that they should give Korpisalo more starts.

He's only had 6 quality starts....needs to be a lot better. We will see what happens

Swayman should make stopping pucks his first priority. If you do that good things will follow. All the offseason interviews, flexing his business degree, trying to establish his brand now adds so much pressure to a player who has a thin skin as is. I'd suggest he go in his shell and focus solely on stopping the puck which is what you get paid for
