Thread: Stronger in Goal RD Top and Bottom 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>I understand that and agree. but this is a much better set up team. Sometimes you take a step back to move forward and this might be what Ottawa has to do to strengthen the team overall.
I do feel Korpisalo rebounds next year if you guys can get a new coach and set up a better defensive scheme.</div></div>

Logging in to tell you that that is simply not the case. Korpi and Forsy have been so bad that they have legitimately cost the Sens a shot at the playoffs. Had they had a league average of .900%, Ottawa would be where Detroit and Washington are... and that is after the defensive implementations JM and CO. have instituted. 21 out of the 76 games Ottawa has played, they have let in the first or second shot on goal... that is awful.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt early when DJ Smith was still apart of the team. But, after the entire team (OFF and DEF) increased their advanced defensive stats, the goalies took the biggest step back in terms of play that made me lose my mind...

Thread: Stay or Go
Something needs to happen... Have to trade one of Chychrun or Chabot.. That being said, if you trade one of them, I think you keep Bran for insurance. He won't make more than 3... and you can get him on a longish term deal. Good on third pair...

Goal-tending needs to be addressed. Korpi is gone. Bought-out.

You hope Norris returns healthy and on the wing next year. You Stu-Pinto-Grieg down the middle now and I think he can thrive beside Stu or Grieg.

Overall, they've been playing with zero structure in front of their goalies...

"Facing the Sens feels like a completely different experience than facing most teams. It's felt like they don't play with any structure. It's fully run and gun. It's a chaotic strategy that'll either work if they have a number of things go their way, or will completely explode on them and they'll look like a peewee team. It's truly just not sustainable and makes it impossible for a goalie to come in and have a fair shot."

You look at a guy like Cam Talbot:

A .914 career goalie

Since 19-20: here's how his seasons have looked. I want you to guess which year he played behind the Sens D corps:

.919

.915

.911

.898

.917
