I really hope there is absolutely no truth to this....

Red Wings: Jimmy Howard Could Be Headed To Columbus

yeah I don’t think this is happening unless it’s for like a 7th or some extremely low tier prospect like Fortier or a guy like Hannikainen.

An article on Fansided that has no source, and the guy is speculating Emil Bemstrom as a return. I'd sooner believe Eklund.

I’m hoping we ride Elvis as much as possible and I sure as heck don’t want to send Bemstrom. Howard has been horrible. If they’d take Wennberg, I’d at least get some solace.

The author graduates college in 2022. I'm sure his sources are solid.

Boooooo

Not because Jarry has played poorly but just because he's a penguin.

 

[DarkandStormy]

This is stupid. Werenski should be drawing in on the blue line, not Letang.

Korpi gets a win in Cleveland. 2-3 OT

would imagine him to be called up this week, tuesday morning at the latest.

Now he'll gets to play in front of another AHL team except he has to face NHL players on the other team. Glad to see him back. Let's see how he looks.

I plan to judge him in the first 5-20 minutes.

I've already judged him, but won't reveal that judgment until partway into the game at a time I deem most appropriate.

No need to. Korpi>Elvis.

 

[Theo Von]

have a suspicious feeling he gets the start tonight against the sens

He probably will. And unless he learned how to score goals while he was out it probably won’t matter.

 

[jore]

Oh well. Good to have him back, but hard to win without scoring goals

It really is true.

Korpisalo is a VERY GOOD goalie.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He looked really calm and composed last night.

Idk whether the magic has worn out of Elvis or if he was tired or what, but I think Korpi has regained the starters net.

Healthy Korpisalo > concussed Elvis for sure

No magic involved
I believe that the League has a book on Elvis, now he needs to adjust.

I think its likely that a healthy Korpisalo > Healthy Elvis. But its still a TBD.

Don't get me wrong, I think Elvis is good. But he's looked closer to October Elvis than January Elvis in the last few weeks. Again it could be due to fatigue, and maybe Korpi will fumble this chance away, but Elvis hasn't impressed me in his last 10 or so starts. (granted, the team has looked and gotten worse as well)

 

[Nanabijou]

I for one have been happy with both goalies this year and I hope we can have a stretch where they are both healthy.

I think you're right. It seems, lately, when teams are shooting out from the net a bit, they are going glove side. He was strong there when he had his streak going, but lately his glove hasn't been there. I think he'll adjust and be fine.

I think Elvis’s A game is better than Korpi’s A game. I also think (at least at this stage of his career), he’s more prone to fluctuating all over the place, while Korpi is normally at a B level.
