Stere did I miss something??? Why on earth are the isles starting varlamov over sorokin?! A quick internet search did not yield any answers, am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?
It's not crazy crazy. It's stupid. But the reasoning is that Varlamov is the "hot hand" right now - and he's been hot since March - while Sorokin hasn't been all that great recently, having gone on a losing skid in March. Not sure if they're gonna keep Varlamov in or not, though, considering he lost Games 1 and 2. If they play him Game 3, it's possible that Sorokin is somewhat injured and they're trying to get it to heal to 100% before deploying him.
Ya know maybe if the islanders FIXED THEIR FUCKING DEFENSIVE LINE AND STOPPED PLAYING SOLELY DEFENSIVELY WHEN THEYRE IN THE LEAD THEYD WIN A FUCKING GAME
Also Sorokin (as much as I love him) started NOSEDIVING at the end of the season and EVERY GAME our defense leaves whoevers in goal out to dry. We need to completely rebuild this fucking team tbh our defense CANNOT keep it together
