Newsday’s Arthur Staple is brave enough to take questions from Islanders fans for a bi-weekly mailbag article. This week, the questions run the gamut from intangibles to impatience to Ilya Sorokin.
That last one is the 21-year old Islanders drafted goalie currently playing for CSKA in the KHL. Named the league’s best goaltender last year after posting crazy numbers and leading his team to Game 7 of the Gagarin Cup final, Sorokin is probably a frequent guest of Staple’s Twitter mentions. The specific question everyone wants answered is when is he getting his lanky Russian ass over here?
