The Real JT
The crowd called out for more
Alternatively, Lou might put him on the hockey equivalent of football’s PUP (physically unable to perform) list.If Sorokin was dead I think Lou would keep the the coroner from reporting it.

LTIR soroking. Hurt feelings or something, opens up what 9 million. Then send him back to Serbia to train like Rocky 5 then bamm come spring time we get him back.
Leave him alone he’s on a roll . Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ?Rocky IV
All sorts of mistakes. Rocky IV to Siberia etc. Built in excuse is old age and possibly not playing hide the salami enough this week. Lgi.Rocky IV

My worry is that it's not injury related at all and something along the lines of "personal issue".Upper body injury obviously. Day to day.
In all seriousness for now I am not concerned about this. Sorokin has a level of talent that not even 5 people in the world have at playing goalie. Friedman is as credible as they come but this is the same media that says every offseason how the Isles are in on top players and it comes out that they clearly were not.
No I think that's just a normal draft procedure. Those kids aren't sniffing NHL for 4 years.I am usually an optimistic person, but this news concerns me greatly. Yes, could be a nagging injury, mental health, or family concern. Or, this could be nothing.
Is this possibly why Lou drafted goalies back to back this draft?

He’s been very pedestrian since the first Carolina series - that had nothing to do with shot totals against.Definitely something going on with Sorokin, seeing as they brought his old coach over.
Remember boys and girls, we were allowing like 45 shots a game, for half a season. And goaltending is tough, both mentally and physically. Add in a crisis or two, and a guy can melt down.
He has been a goalie for a long time, so I trust that he will work through it. He's on one of the closest knit teams, and the organization has shown that they will do him right.
There is no reason to think that he can't take us to the cup.
Yep, and they drafted two more while already having Lennox and Tikkanen in the first draft that that've had more than 5 picks in forever. You gotta think one of those dudes should be ready in 3 years, and if not we could replace Varly in FA or via trade.Well, if there is something wrong with Sorokin, it'd definitely make the signing of Hogberg - an older, more established European pro, who ain't coming over JUST to play in the AHL - a lot more sensible.
I mean, they signed him pretty doggone quickly after last season.
Certainly doesn't. However, if there is a shred of doubt that Sorokin may not fully finish out his contract or if there is something on the horizon, might as well throw some darts at the board at the most important position now.That doesn’t help in the present.
Let me just say what many of us here are probably thinking.I am usually an optimistic person, but this news concerns me greatly. Yes, could be a nagging injury, mental health, or family concern. Or, this could be nothing.

If Sorokin is out for any extended period of time or if somehow, this is a situation that jeopardizes his career, then this franchise is in for a world of hurt for the next several years.
I can understand that viewpoint for sure, but goaltending is such a volatile position. A random guy could come in and put up a Vezina caliber season one year and then disappear the next. Defense is still the most important aspect when it comes to the defensive/goaltending side of things. For example, our shot suppression was awful last year and that almost definitely led to some of Sorokin’s struggles. An average goalie can be made out to look great if the defense in front of him is solid.Let me just say what many of us here are probably thinking.

Yup, it's a team game. Everyone thought we were doomed when JT left....didn't happen. Isles will use that money to improve in areas and make that goaltending position less important. Honestly, if Sorokin is having something going on affecting his concentration, without it going away, he's going to be an anchor of a contract. Best to just deal with it now, whatever it may be.I can understand that viewpoint for sure, but goaltending is such a volatile position.
