First Blood
The Greiss Is Right!
He's a more craftier Kane. Riberio is a fair comparison imo. Kane has snipes... JHS's shot is the only thing holding him back.
"Oh good, he can play the puck well too"
"Garth Snow, crack another beer"
Seems like Sorokin is putting on a show against Canada in a pre-tourney matchup. Even Ferraro is singing his praises.
From the Team Canada thread...
For Ferraro (one half of the Bitter Bros. with Healy) is saying that, Sorokin must be the goods.
Game just ended, Russia won 2-1 in OT, Sorokin made 53 saves.

according to some of the posters in the WJC thread, Dal Colle is not a lock and might be cut...
I didn't see the game but supposedly he didn't play well.. IMO hes a kid you keep. He has the ability to go off and hes a big sniper with skill...
Sorokin is such an intriguing prospect.
Wow Sorokin so reminds me of Jonathan Quick ... Always low and great side to side movement ... seems as if he spends the entire game on his knees ( much like quick )...
Goalies are so hard to determine though... He just needs to keep playing like he did tonight.
I remember the fellow Nikitia Serebrykov, he had a strong performance at juniors for russia and then collapsed.
It's hard to evaluate goalies imo. Gotta be really good with the tape. Sorokin made some highlight reel saves though. I really hope he beats out the other guy for the spot so we can watch him more.
He's had these types of strong performances in the KHL before.
The consistency isn't there, but he's shown he can stand on his head.
