Korpisalo vs Bussi in Training Camp The winner stays

[@davidphillips4706]

Korp is 30, I'm rooting for Bussi

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

If Bussi wins out, we'll have another Mike Reilly deal (also via Ottawa)...playing in Providence for years at $3M, whilst taxing the cap space.

[@Biggskye]

It is a myth that the current Bruins' defense is strong. It was the goaltenders that made the defense look good, not the other way around. The D constantly lose puck battles, make ill-timed passes and turnovers, relying on the goalies to bail them out. They also tend to ice the puck a lot and are weak at faceoffs. While having two #1 caliber goaltenders is great, it is not an affordable luxury in a cap world. Unless Boston improves the back-end, Korpisalo will wish he was back in Ottawa.

[@scottmiller8617]

As a sens fan, I pray this is true. Ullmark is a huge upgrade on korpisalo. I'm surprised he was included in the deal.

[@jwvvvv]

Absolute nonsense.

[@Biggskye]

@@jwvvvv You don't have to agree. I can't force you to be right.

[@kevinburk1670]

I agree McAvoy is vastly overrated and I think he's a 9 mm guy the only solid defenseman is Carlo and he's a stay-at-home guy he's chipped in a few but...

[@brunocalisto5185]

Bruins defence will help korpisalo for sure

[@arthurmcdermott3312]

I agree that you got a good backup goalie and freed some capspace But what are you talking about saying that you also got a big tough guy up front? Kastelic's stats say AHL, not even 4th line.

[@scottmiller8617]

@arthurmcdermott3312 Kastelic is big and super strong. He kills it in fitness testing every year. He wins most of his faceoffs, and he is good defensively. He doesn't play as physical as he should though, based on his size and strength, and that is his biggest flaw.

[@CarolinaWeeper]

I love Linus, but after Sway's development, this is just the correct business decision. And perhaps a win-win for both teams.

[@miked4309]

in razor i trust. bruins fans that live in boston jumped off the tobin. i think they thought they were getting Leon or Necas. hockey porn.

[@kevinburk1670]

Everybody thinks there's a magic pill you can take and fix everything there isn't Sweeney is trying to clean up his all-in Gamble from 2 years ago while still staying relevant it isn't easy I think he's doing well

[@gh4707]

Lol that woman lip synced the national anthems last night. The broadcast was so bad it was glitching and showed her obviously not singing….

[@johnbrowne2170]

I respect Raycroft's opinion. He's a smart, sensible guy.

[@sachinruparelia]

Ottawa wins clearly

[@gregorsmith]

they gave a first rounder for a 1 year rental. its an L

[@johncushman7458]

The Bruins Had No Problem With The Goal Tending, The Problem's Have Been With The Defensive Line, The Forward's, They Turned The Puck Over Too Many Times!and They Over Passed The Puck! In Offensive Zone, While Taking Less Shot's on Net if Any At All! During Round 2 With The Panthers, zone For Example, One Gm's They only 4 Shot's on Goal against The Panthers

[@jwvvvv]

Teams don't get 109 points with a bad defense. The Bruins defensemen and goalies were among the best in the league.

[@snekinrican]

Trade a top 5 goalie for our old players and our old pick lol how did Sweeney get fleeced so hard and get to keep his job. Never mind picking 3 busts in a row in the draft. Sweeney is a joke!!!!!!

[@jwvvvv]

"Fleeced"? Hardly. There is no way that Ullmark is signing an extension with the sorry Ottawa Senators. As for Don Sweeney, the Bruins have been Cup contenders ever since he became General Manager. As you are a Senators' fan, I can understand why you are so angry.

[@sachinruparelia]

​@@jwvvvvyou don't know that. He has every incentive to sign and take the reigns in Ottawa. Especially since they need a 1a.

[@thetruthhurts6652]

Bussi has played nhl games.

[@CowboyUp1371]

I completely disagree with Raycroft. You can't win without a great goaltender it doesn't happen. If Edmonton had a half way decent goalie they easily win the Cup. Boyt players we got are garbage so dont know why he is saging Korpisolo is good he has an .890 SV thats horrible and Mark may be a bruiser tough guy but hes awful and shouldn't even be in the NHL.
