I stand corrected. Thanks!

Sorry, not into moral victories. Pro sports is about results.
And yet you're reacting as though this is college football, where one loss dooms the entire season.Sorry, not into moral victories. Pro sports is about results.

Korpis save % is the exact same as Bobs after 1 game . They are also both 0-1. We scored 1 freakin goal And somehow Korpi is to blame . Hate to break it to you but 2 of those goals , no one in the league is stopping . Bottom line , they have 5 offensive players before you choose 1 of ours on the playground . Give them a small space , it’s in the back of our net , where as we had chances all day , and didn’t bury the shot .Korpi’s save percentage last season was under 90%. Tonight, it was 86%. Find all the excuses you want to justify playing him, but he has to show me more. I don’t care if the opposing team shoots lasers, stop the puck. You are getting paid to stop the puck. We had a goalie last year who did it. Yes, he wanted to leave and is now in Florida, but he was able to stone the best of shooters. Korpi? I haven’t seen it in over a year. its a new season, I am will willing to get him a chance but the leash is very short. If he continues to post a save percentage below 90%, he is a below average goalie. Heck, what are elite goalies’ save percentages? 93%? 94? He was gifted the position this year. It’s time to step up. NO EXCUSES. STOP THE PUCK.
Thank you
Personally I was suprised how good our offensive game looked tonight . Lots of chances , lots of speed . Defense was pretty iffy, but we had a week lay-off , and start with the best offensive team in the league . The biggest issue I think we face this year is Torts coaching, and player utilization . Lilja got a little over 7 minutes tonight , Bem was close to 10. Texier looked dangerous on quite a few shifts and is yanked off top line . Pld is not on pp, then is rest of game . Tomorrow will be more telling . Harrington should be out , Garikov or Kukan in .The bottom line is more than one game out of eighty-two. I'm looking for how the team develops over the long run. And there were some good things. If you're so fragile you can't see past one night that's on you.
16-17:30 TOI, 2nd line. He has good hockey IQ/vision/good playmaker/PP weapon/even strength/decent speed & mobility, agility/decent possession #'s/decent defensively, but no PK/crafty. He needs to shoot more to get back to 20G, but expect 30 assists, 50-55pt player. A smart 2-way Centerman & physical scoring/speedy winger w/size would be his ideal linemates. He played really well with Larkin as his C, a career year. He won't win the majority of his board battles but has good positioning & stickwork, good in transition. Don't expect him to cycle much down low, he's just not built for it.Sometimes there's no lineups posted here. I just look up the beat writer's tweets for lineups.
How do you use Nyquist properly?

Second goal is completely on Korpi. He needs to stop that puck.
.
Wut. The one where Korpi is completely screened?
Also, there were several good plays from Texier throughout. Not a lost puppy.
He's not completely screened. He's screened, yes, but he knows the shot is coming and he's off his angle. He can make that save.
