Player Discussion: Ilya Sorokin

[Costigan77]

Sorokin is concerned about the rusty steel beams at Belmont. Lou is trying to explain that it's primer paint, but the translator Snow hired only speaks English and Mandarin so it's taking a while.

Makes sense actually.


Seriously though. Any update why Andong Song was not added to this training camp roster? Or is Lou sleeping again? I'll hang up and listen

 

[2ndGenIslander]

damn, this sucks..again

 

[Doshell Propivo]

Its not so much waiting to find out as much as it is, curiosity as to why you can't help your self.

It's part of my charm.

 

[IslandersFan17]

Maybe the fight is over his number? Sorokin wants to stay 90, but Lou isn't having it?


Seriosuly dude, it is 2:20pm on the first day. Lou can't make a human being change his mind. The kid is a competitor and doesn't want to be sitting around for 4-6 months not playing hockey, after not playing for the past 3. Relax.

I'm not blaming Lou, I have pointed out in this very thread sorokin might have reason not to sign.

So please don't quote my post without full context. Secondly, the other two signed immediately at 12. Sorokin is full aware of the rules and the situation, there isn't much to weigh at this point, either he is coming or he isn't.

Some call it charm. Others would call it a lack of a hobby/life.

Funny you mention his name lol I read on him recently that he has yet to even play in a game yet in his 2 years at Cornell. Dressed for 2 games but never saw the ice. Sounds like It will go as most expected when he was drafted. He is still young, but I doubt he ever gets a pro contract at any level if he can’t even crack a college lineup at 22 years old.

Yeah but the ones that matter call it charm.

I’m waiting for Bob Mckenzie to tweet it. He’s always right!

Dude...you get into arguments on here during trade deadlines, FA opening, etc.

Sorokin is the only goalie of the group. Not sure if you have read much about him, but his play is rhythmic. Are they perhaps working out him playing in sweden/Europe/Non KHL until next season? They have Barzal/Pulock and Toews to sign. Are they working on the extension too? For him to make the trip to Toronto, they would have to use a roster spot. With the uncertainty of covid....is that worth giving up a spot?


He is the only goalie out of the Russians coming over. Completely different animal. By all means, at 5:01 Weds, come scream and shout. Until then, there is no need for an ulcer

Cut him some slack. This is his life/hobby.

 

[BrockLobster]

Who said anything about Sorokin being able to sign anywhere else?

Youre making it sound like he isnt gonna sign here and is going to Tavares or panarin us.

 

[Costigan77]

I'm arguing?

No absolutely not......Your point is perfect. Youre right, we are all wrong

 

[BrockLobster]

What happens if he doesnt sign by 5pm Wednesday?

 

[TheWhiteWhale30]

What happens if he doesnt sign by 5pm Wednesday?

No ELC for this season. Would have to be next season.

 

[IslandersFan17]

No absolutely not......Your point is perfect. Youre right, we are all wrong

Okay

 

[IslesCLT]

What happens if he doesnt sign by 5pm Wednesday?

He can't burn his ELC for 19/20 season

 

[Doshell Propivo]

What happens if he doesnt sign by 5pm Wednesday?

I'm going to make myself a vodka gimlet, log on to HF and laugh at the hysteria.

That's what happens.

I pointed out the other two russians signed immediately, Sorokin hasn't and there is zero reason he hasn't. Simple as that

 

[JeffNYI]

On a positive note, the great thing about this Sorokin saga is that it's helping to take our mind off the fact we technically don't have a home arena at the moment..

sure we do, it’s in Toronto lol

How is this fact? Seriously......how do you pass that off as fact. You, nor anyone on here has any clue if there is an issue. Is there any chance he is quarantined because he tested positive? The kid himself said he was leaving the KHL to play here. He can't go to another team.

You play your opinions as facts. That's why you get poked at. I don't mind your opinion. But you try to shove it down peoples throats. Dude relax and calm down

 

[MJF]

Some here will call for Lou to retire. Some here will want to tar and feather Sorokin for f***ing us.

Its a message board, I am not shoving anything down anyone throat. Like you said its my opinion, if you don't agree, that's fine you don't have to comment on it.

Oh yes we do. It’s located in Hub City.
