Compact moves, swooping glove, he really played like an elite franchise-level goalie, despite only 20 shots against. Sure Varlamov's been outstanding (since summer) but Sorokin's ceiling needs to be a 60 game #1 goalie.
Mindful of my earlier post to back up the truck, not going to take the out, they got a break to practice before Buffalo got sick. Yes 3/4 nights, but Buffalo for it's twenty shots owned the puck tonight.
Hope they prove me wrong, and standings don't lie, but a lot of hockey to be played. Really need to find a spot for Bellows with Wahlstrom/Dal Colle, who's been excellent.
