That game ...
You don’t bring in a goalie like Korpi not to start him in the playoffs. Copley made the choice quite clear tonight.

Maybe. Most of the goals were directly from completely open players in the slot, with complete defensive melt downs or bone head penalty kills. I don't think any were necessarily bad goals. I think Todd would agree with me. He made big saves. IDK if Korpi would have fared better, Kings were doing their early season score a ton and let in a ton thing, outscoring their problems as Faust said. They played about 25 minutes. I'm really not sure how Korpi would have done. I still think Copley is 23? and 4 losses.. I can't ignore that season. His experience is losing 4-1 in the playoffs. So. yeah. Not doughty-ing the guy but I think Copley saved our season and is.. still winning, and has earned a playoff berth. In my eyes, until Korpi totally steals it. I do know I'm in the minority here on the Copley train.
The bottom 6 is going to get real interesting. I’d love to see Fiala and Vilardi on a line together but guessing Todd will be more likely to drop Vilardi down with Kupari than AI.
The analytics community is very pro Vilardi's D performance. He cleans up a lot of stuff it seems in their eyes. Probably because his board work is so good. Todd is very likely to insulate a 4th or 3rd line Center with him.
