We will agree to disagree that sOrOk3n and Johansson both played great games. As I said before I thought sOrOk3n didn’t play as well last night as his prior 2 starts. Didn’t look as comfortable to me, fought the puck a bit.

I'm not spinning anything I saw that quote and was just curious as to who said he played great, that's all.

"The Sabres have just announced a media availability with Kevyn Adams at 4:30 p.m."
Set the guillotine.
They could be a bit more lively next game

Meh, that’s not true, if I think Varly plays like shat I say it. That’s not fair, I’m not agreeing with any of that shat. I’m just not spewing all over myself after a 6 game window. I get it, he’s the threads sweetheart and can do no wrong. It’s a total spin of the truth on here. Ryan Pulock was the last darling on here, and I would get crushed if I called him out for missing the net. Which the (frank)er still does

1 question, yes or no, Do you think sOrOk3n played great last night or as well as his previous 2 starts? Because basically that’s what I said, and pointed out both goalies save %.

- nyisles7

You pick your players out you hate and never point out any good they do. I’m happy you bought up Pulock because he’s a prime example of exactly what I’m talking about. It’s fine I don’t care but you not acknowledging you do this is borderline hysterical because it’s plain as day and you’re literally the only one on here that believes you’re not doing that.

Pulock is such a god damn good defenseman if you think you pointing out that he missed the net ad nauseam has changed anybody’s opinion of him let alone mine on here you’re a few fries short of a happy meal. Nobody felt crushed when you did that they just didn’t feel like debating with you for five pages about it. It was just easier to ignore you

I actually agree with you about Sorokin he has to improve his game. His rebound control isn’t there yet etc but he has to play and varlamov for as good as he has been has had some rough nights himself. We’ll see what happens and how Sorokin does but stop getting your panties all in a bunch every time someone says they think he should play what’s the big (frank)ing deal?

through his last five starts, Sorokin: 3-1-1 1.60 gaa .928% 2so
I think it's worth mentioning his time between those starts starts: 7 days, 17 days, 12 days, 5 days.
It had been nearly a full year since this kid played in game action prior to his first start. One thing that can be problematic in long layoffs is speed acclimation and subsequently rebound control. I get they want to take it slow with his starts, but there will also be some bumps as a result.


Totally unrelated note: Has anyone put out an APB for SES111?

Holy (frank)ing novel.

Moral of the story just say what the group think thinks or your gonna hear it

OMG, he’s been absolutely fantastic. I don’t understand why he isn’t getting more starts.

It’s because he’s only a rookie and never even had an opportunity to get AHL starts to transition his game to US rinks and speed. But he will as time goes by.

As for the vote, both Wahlstrom and Dobson have been equally impressive, two stars in the making.
