@philzfactz@alex_phins4lyfe Sorokin is the most talented by far, but lacks clutch play. Those 2 conference finals runs needed both goalies both years. Sorokin was $ against Pitt. Got real excited for the future. Since then havenโt seen that clutch play when the team needs him. Still one hell of a goalie.
@philzfactz Lou left it on a tee for him and he whiffed. Lou didnโt tell him to get Palat, Schenn, and Soucy. Lou only picked up players in their mid to late 20โs. Based on his track record Lou doesnโt make these trades. He had assets to keep building for when the current t team ages out
@KingsleyLomo@NYIslanders Theyโve been a complete mess in their own zone all season. Sorokin masked this form until recently. I watch every game, itโs been sloppy AF the whole time.
@chrispronger Roy was ok. Problem is, the team that defended so well with Trotz looked completely lost in their own zone. In my opinion defense and goaltending needs to be solid in the NHL, and there were way too many breakdowns in our own zone. Wish they did this way earlier.
The way pucks come flying off the boards and posts/cross bar, I canโt believe any teams allow this. I agree with Lou Lams on this. Keep your helmet on, be part of the team. No need for the individual to stand out.
The NHL has sent out a new memo to teams reminding them that helmets are mandatory during pregame warmups for players that entered the league after 2019-2020

@IslanderFansNYI Iโd say theyโre about equal. Last few seasons Iโd give the edge to McMichael. So far this year, Iโd say Holmstrom is the more effective player. Saying heโs not as good as McMichael is a stretch.
@stefen_rosner Isnโt it actually much worse? I thought its was four goals in all but one start. Letโs give David a run, see how that goes. Iโm confident heโll bounce back.
