Elmont, ny – The goalkeeper of the New York Icelanders Ilya Sorokin had a difficult night on Tuesday. He granted five goals on 11 shots before being fired after 40 minutes of play.
It was not a game in which he was beaten from peak strokes or rear taps.
It was a game where Sorokin had a hard time seeing Jump Street’s washers, a problem that he could not overcome.
After the match, the head coach of the Icelanders and goalkeeper of hockey Patrick Roy was asked about the performance of his goalkeeper.
“If I tell you he had an excellent match, you told me that I am full of shit, right?” Said Roy. “It was not his best match, but there were some bad rebounds.
“I know we are going to bounce back. I mean, he is a character and he will find a way. I know we could count on him. There is no doubt.”
At Sorokin’s credit, he took possession of his difficult night, even if there is no time for moral victories or what you have.
“I think it was three deviations, but I should play better,” said Sorokin.
Fighting through screens, especially when this screen is set by a Matt, 6’8, 255 pounds, is not an easy task. He became one of the greatest accents during the attack on the talented networks.
“You cannot stop what you cannot see,” is the expression, which is not quite true. If you are aggressive enough, the washers can find you rather than finding open string.
“Today, I tried to find the washer but it was difficult today. I should ask the goalkeeper coach. I try to play aggressively, but that did not help.”
Although fighting in the screens is the work of Sorokin, he is also on the defense in front of him to win his battles in front and block the shots or allow the goalkeeper to see the shot.
Sorokin was a bit alone with that, when the defense of the Islanders had trouble preventing overnight.
“Defense does what the coach says he should do,” Sorokin said. “It’s my (work) to find the washer.”
After winning seven consecutive games, Sorokin has a 0-4-0 sheet in his last four games with a GAA of 4.5 and an SV% .818.
If the Islanders will make the playoffs, he must return to his game quickly.
