Boston Bruins head coach, Marco Sturm, questioned on Joonas Korpisalo becoming starting goaltender in Boston
During post-game interviews, after the Bruins took the win against the Sabres, Marco Sturm was questioned on whether or not the organization will consider having Korpisalo as the team's starting net-minder.
Take a look at his response:
Post-game when I asked Sturm if he'd consider rolling a while w/ Korpisalo:
«At the start of the season, I would say no, just because we have so many games coming upand we have the luxury to have two really good goaltenders, so I am not sure yet.»
Despite Sturm revealing he is uncertain, he's mind is still open to the idea.
