It hurts how much better Sorokin is this year. Shesterkin has no consistency. Great rookie year (albeit short), shit second year, all time great third year, shit fourth year. The guy has the talent but is mentally really really weak. Even last year his feelings got hurt because the crowd in Pittsburgh chanted his name in a mocking tone and he completely shit the bed in games 3 and 4. The guys has million dollar talent and a 5 cent head.
100% by the letter of the law. I wonder if the ref didn't know the rule. This was clear as day.
