Player Discussion VIDEO: Swayman/Sweeney Following Contract Extension

[goldenblack]

You do realize how ridiculous it is to need your goalie to pitch a shutout every night to win, no? Like zero margin for error? Teams that need this are not playoff teams.

Who cares? Hasek built a hall of fame career on being that guy, and missed the playoffs plenty of times. Top tier goalies play top tier hockey. Sway got top tier goalie money.

Nut up or shut up time has arrived. This is the National Hockey League. Korpi gets it.

And Hasek had to finally leave Buffalo to Detroit, a top scoring talented team, to win a Cup.

Korpi has a 2.38 GAA. It's not bc he's great either, the defense is benefiting him. No reason sway shouldn't be able to get near those numbers. He needs to be the 8 million aav goalie they paid him to be

Yes because he’s played against the far weaker teams.

He was amazing in Buffalo though regardless of offensive talent. Sway right now has terrible stats, and that has nothing to do with Boston's offense.

The issue isn't so much that he needs a shutout to win games, it's that at his current GAA the team needs to score 4 goals on average to win with him in net.

You're looking at this all wrong. It wasn't that they spent money on the goalie position that precluded them from signing a top 6 forward. It's that they're paying Peeke and Zadorov nearly 8 mill to be their bottom pairing. That's where the mistake happened. Stop me if you've heard this already, but they overpaid for bottom of the roster depth instead of filling top of the roster, skilled positions.

I just want there goalie to keep them in the game every night and so far Korpisalo has done that. They need to figure out the offense but in the meantime it’s nice not to let in 3-4+ goals a game. Looks like we’re heading back to a rotation which isn’t ideal going forward.

He just beat a team Swayman lost to.
