00:00The Buffalo Sabres were at TD Garden last night, and less than seven minutes into the first period,
00:08Bruins look like they were well, easily on their way to continuing their winning ways.
00:15Pasternak whips it across, Geeky scores!
00:21Morgan Geeky continues his red-hot pace, gives the Bruins a 1-0 lead.
00:27We got this, no problem.
00:29Well, two things about that.
00:31Do you see the game?
00:32Yeah.
00:33Okay, so you know what happened the first 10 minutes.
00:35Bruins didn't have a shot the first 10 minutes, and then that was their first shot of the night.
00:41That was not seven minutes, that was 13 minutes.
00:43That was their first shot of the night, or their second shot of the night.
00:46Well, since you mentioned that, we can lead with, this is the first time ever since he's been a Bruin
00:51that Corposalo has played two games in a row.
00:53Yes, and I don't blame Sturm for starting him either.
00:56Well, and he played well.
00:58So, like, is Corposalo now your number one goaltender?
01:04It certainly seems like it.
01:05If I'm Marco Sturm, I play him again tomorrow afternoon against Carolina.
01:10Absolutely, I do.
01:12Well, I mean, today, yes.
01:14Swayman has not played well.
01:15Corposalo is playing well.
01:17John, you're absolutely right.
01:18I think through two periods, they had 16 shots on goal.
01:22Or, no, well into the third, I think they were at the 16th shot.
01:25They got outshot two to one last time.
01:27But this is, and Corposalo kept them in the game, but, you know, this is big news.
01:32If Corposalo is your number one goaltender, you have Swayman for seven more years at a huge salary.
01:39Yeah, there's very little chance of moving that.
01:43You're never going to move it.
01:44When you look at Corposalo, does he, just forget about the goals given up.
01:49Does he give you the same confidence watching him in net that Swayman does when Swayman's playing well?
01:55Swayman's top game is better than Corposalo's top game, but the problem is Swayman hasn't gotten to his top game enough to merit the contract he's gotten.
02:03Both have had bad games.
02:05Swayman wasn't good last year, and Swayman hasn't been good this year.
02:09Corposalo has played well the last two games, and Sturm said the defense has been better in front of Corposalo.
02:17I believe he said that.
02:18Something along those lines.
02:19Well, let's just skip ahead here.
02:22Corposalo said it himself.
02:24I feel pretty good.
02:25I think, even though I've got a lot of shots, I think everyone in front of me played really well.
02:29Most of the shots, if it's coming from outside, not in front of the net.
02:33Let me see the puck.
02:33Forcing the shooters out.
02:35He's not getting screened.
02:37The guys in front of him are playing the right way last night.
02:39So he's like, not that it was easy, but yeah, it is easier when the shots are coming off from the side,
02:46and you're not being screened, and the guys are clearing out the crease.
02:48Except the one time he was screened horribly.
02:51But yeah, on a couple of those goals, he couldn't see it coming.
02:54Or twice.
02:54Listen, your team is not even close to good enough to have a margin for error.
02:58You need the best players out there that you have 100% of the time.
03:03And it starts with the goaltender.
03:05If your goaltender isn't playing well, you find a guy that is playing well to give yourself a better chance.
