@The_Husky_Knows @Spazemunky @stefen_rosner @TheElmonters How many of those high dangers chances were a result of him juggling a shot or giving up juicy rebounds or falling/sliding out of position

@Spazemunky @stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Yep. When you see the amount of HD shots he faced, it's brutal. Anyone who has played goalie at a decent level can attest that if you are constantly under durress in your own zone, it becomes exhaustung. Its not just the shots, its the shot attempts, cross slot passes etc.

Having a goalie like Ilya Sorokin isn’t normal. Getting a season like this out of him — and not capitalizing — shouldn’t be either @TheElmonters #Isles theelmonters.com/p/islanders-il…

@Spazemunky @stefen_rosner @TheElmonters How was he exhausted after getting 3 weeks off during the Olympics, the swoon started right after

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Without ilya the #Isles were a bottom 5 team this season. Sorokin hid how disgusting they were defensively until he broke down from exhaustion at the end.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 It is going to be very interesting to see whether he can handle playing for Deboer next year

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 I haven’t. I have acknowledged them. No one said Sorokin played well. He played average and the team played atrocious. What happened was that the team was exposed when Sorokin wasn’t the best in the league.

Gun to my head, I go with a 'D' at the moment. But, reserve the right to change the grade after one more cycle - draft, free agency, 2026-27 in-season, 2027 trade deadline. I don't think he had even an 'Ok' year at all, but we at least have to give him a little more time, imo.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Barzal was the other teams best penalty killer, turnover machine, he was also pretty bad down the stretch, also 29 yrs old not a kid anymore

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 lol you ignore the teams defensive play the entire season and then when Sorokin comes back down to earth, you blame him. It’s so dumb and clueless. You also hinted at Barzal who was their leading scoring and driving player in every line. You need Jesus man.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Why are you ignoring his overall stats in the last 20 games? Debeor may eat Sorokin for lunch, at 31 yr old next year, no longer a blue chip kid

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 DeBoer took over with 4 games left. What you focus on is nonsensical. Again, you just utter nonsense or repeat incorrect facts to convince yourself you don’t sound like a moron.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 im not ignoring the stats: since olympics overall he was 9-11 3.05 87 save % which again is terrible

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 You’re right, because of Sorkin the islanders are not on their straight 5th cup run. Can you imagine the dynasty they’d have if it wasn’t for Sorokin? Theyre tops in the league in scoring and defense. Fucking Sorokin man. Let’s ignore all the stats and blame Sorokin. You’re smart

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Also Deboer said bad goals given up by the goalie takes the crowd out and wind out of the players, so again its going to be a challenge for Sorokin to toughen up

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Just debunked that. Average goaltending is 2.88 goals against a game. Isles averaged 2.5. Why do you keep repeating the same nonsense? Is being wrong that anathema to your soul?

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 You are starting to get very emotional again, take a breath. Average goaltending over the last 20 games and Isles are in playoffs. Let's see how he handles the pressure of playing for Deboer and a better Def system, no more excuses, hell be 31, not a kid anymore

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 I think you understand hockey so little that you mean if Sorokin was average by Sorokin’s standards you think they would have made the playoffs. Is that what you are trying to say but don’t have the mental capacity to articulate?

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Even if they scored 3 goals a game, they still lose bec he was giving up 3+ goals

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Average goaltending is 2.88 GAA, islanders averaged 2.50 goals for the last 20 games. You want to tell me how that would have worked out????????

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Yes he was a major reason, I never said he was the only reason. However with avg goaltending over the last 20 games, they make the playoffs

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 You’ve argued the islanders did not make the playoffs bc of sorokin the last 14 hours. Are you that bat shit crazy?

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 I did not say he was the sole reason, I said he was a main reason, along with a bad PP (Ballet Barzal) I said he has an annual swoon at crunch time, which is true, his stats were otherworldly bad, avg goaltending and isles are in. Let's see how he handle Debeor's pressure

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Bottom line is you don’t understand hockey and think the goalie is the sole reason a hockey game is won or lost. It’s a juvenile understanding. One that you’ve double downed on for everyone to see. The entire team was bad after the Olympics. Look it up.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 bottom line are the final numbers, all the analytic bs didnt save him from torpedoing the Isles playoff changes & his own Vezina chances. Overall since olympics overall he was 9-11 3.05 87 save %

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Lololol you really have no clue about hockey.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 You show me all the analytics you want, but the bottom line: Overall since olympics overall he was 9-11 3.05 87 save %

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 And if you take this two worst games he gave them a chance to win. Bro, you are wrong and obsessed. lol

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 again you are ignoring the overall stats

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Banking your position on more AI slop??? lol

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 81% from behind the net lmao

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 the overall stats include the columbus & dallas game

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Since columbus shut out he went 4-7 3.00 GAA 88% Save%, take out columbus and dallas game and he was 2-7 with 3.33 GAA and 83% Save% Overall since olympics overall he was 9-11 3.05 87 save % that is terrible, as bad as the team was, that is the main reason they missed playoffs.

@Anhydrous1002 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Since columbus shut out he went 4-7 3.00 GAA 88% Save%, take out columbus and dallas game and he was 2-7 with 3.33 GAA and 83% Save% OVERALL since olympics overall he was 9-11 3.05 87 save % that is terrible, as bad as the team was, that is the main reason they missed playoffs.

@DRo8101977 @jimman178 @AndyGraz_19 Again, you keep taking out great games by him to try and manipulate stats to justify your warped obsession with Ilya. Keep going, no one’s buying it.
