A recent announcement revealed the Boston Bruins organization and one of their goaltenders, Joonas Korpisalo, have been enduring on-going tension, and it is not a good look for the team.
An NHL insider revealed some unexpected news this morning, Tuesday, April 15, on social media via 'X', announcing that the Boston Bruins' net-minder, Joonas Korpisalo, expressed his frustrations about the organization.
Take a look:
«Heard on the award winning @985Underground podcast this morning that Boston Bruins goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is not pleased with the amount of games we was given this year.

The 30-year old net-minder participated in just 27 games this 2024/25 NHL season, and although that number may sound low comparatively to last season, as he endured 55 games with the Ottawa Senators in the 2023/24 season, he is unfortunately a back-up.
A Boston fan replied to the insider's posts defending the Bruins organization:
«Korpisalo is a backup, he got 27 games which is typical of what backups get in this league to a big name starter. Swayman had a bad year and you can argue maybe they could have given Joonas 5-7 more games but that's it. After playing 55 games for Ottawa it had to be tough.»
Although Korpisalo's frustration may have been unexpected, the net-minder did have a great season this year, within his 27 games, he ranked a 2.90 GAA (Goals Against Average), and a .893 SV% (Save Percentage).
Meanwhile, Jeremy Swayman, the Boston Bruins' starting goaltender, has played in a total of 57 games, ranking at a 3.08 GAA, and a .894 SV%.
Despite Swayman enduring 30 games more than Korpisalo, his stats are looking arguably low, and it has been noted in the Boston Bruins' current standings as well.
Do you think goaltender, Joonas Korpisalo, will become the Boston Bruins' starting goalie in the 2025/26 NHL season?
