We all agree he's on the way out the door, that doesn't mean Torts is going to blatantly tank the season and not play his two time Vezina winning goalie. Will Korpi play more? Yeah probably. Especially if he gets hot.
See here's the thing, the Bob "fanboys" want people to believe the team cant win without Bob or with Korpisalo, but its NOT TRUE.
Even you admit, if he gets "hot", he'll play more. So no, they wont "tank" the season and continue to play Korpisalo if he's not playing well and losing games. BUT, if he is playing well (or better than Bob) this year might be the 1st year where they don't "automatically" go back to Bob, no matter what.
While I will admit, the set rotation for the 1st back to back games very well could be a completely "non issue", as it is the exact scenario that you would use your backup. I will however contest (like other are) that Korpisalo starting game 1, has nothing to do with him outplaying Bob in the preseason. I could be wrong, and Torts possibly changed the strategy this year, but starting the backup/supposedly weaker goalie against the weaker team hasn't been the "go to" for the team, has it? Its something we almost always talk about (which game to start which goalie) during back to backs, and I don't remember a "set" strategy tbh.
In the past, Bob has played back to back when he wasn't scheduled to, after playing "exceptional" in the 1st game (looking back maybe he started the 1st game more often ) -- It'll be interesting to see what "happens" if Korpisalo has an "exceptional" game against DET......
