Ben Shelley: Islanders vs. Penguins Preview: Comparing the goalies

LETS (frank)ING GO BOYS

I guess Varly is more banged up than let on, Sorokin is starting. I think he’ll respond well.

Tough break but great we have him to step.

Sorokin starting?

I'm guessing Varlamov is hurt.

No malkin

I'm guessing Varlamov is hurt.

Is he backing up Sorokin?

I'm so relieved that Mcguire isn't doing the game.

No

At this stage it would seem that Varly's injury may be a more lingering issue from something that happened a while back.
I'm also guessing that Sorokin has probably known that he was going to likely start for a while. Hopefully he's fully prepared.

No

Well It’s Ilya’s time in the spot light. I think he will respond.

Edit: Hopefully it’s a matter of rest for Varly and he will be able to go again.

I would guess he was told at least yesterday. This doesn't sound like a last minute decision.

It has to be if he's not even dressed. Its time to Sorokin to step up and show he can be the number 1 goalie.

Edited my original post, hopefully they are just giving him another couple days of rest to make sure he’s good to go. 🤞🏻

Hopefully it's not an issue

Real fans I love it

Playoff hockey! Let's go Islanders!

Hopefully it's not an issue

Agreed. Barzal needs to play his game and not force it. They are going to be all over him forcing the TO’s for counter attacks.

Puck Drop. Let’s go Islanders!
