he should be in the net
Next thing ya know Varlomov needs to come out, And Sorokin goes to walk out and gets a cramp and they need an ebug 😭💀
Haha
How is this considered fair in the playoffs? Loser canes do anything they can to get an advantage
Nah…
thats rude
😭💀
Me makes enough money he can get his own chair
Well, there's always a zamboni driver waiting for an opportunity if he would be tired of standing…
Varlamov
This is funny, but just to be clear, he had a chair that he used at other points in the game. He was choosing to stand at that moment. And this is not the only NHL arena that has made a backup goalie sit in a separate spot or done other quirky things with the road team's bench.

B.s
Bro took 'stand-in' goalie way too seriously
He's almost crying 😛
They’re not wrong at all, but at least goalies stand for the whole game anyway. A whole lot of playing net is finding a comfortable position to chill while the action is at the other end.
Take a seat young sorokin
Amateur hour
Embarrassing that there isn’t room on the bench in an NHL building
In general every team sets the visiting team up for failure. The benches are at an uncomfortable height, the water is just under boiling, tje goalie doesn't have a seat. Home field advantage isn't about the fans. As it should be this should not change!
That can’t be good for the skates
as a canes fan i think he's js fine standing
Figures, the Hurricanes are a low class outfit.
Leave it to Patrick Roy he will find a solution. Or maybe look out games 3 and 4, when the Islanders are at home.
sorokin is a stand-up goalie for sure
His eyes kept moving when he was watching the leafs bruins game lol 😅
We need a SOTI hair reveal!
GET HIM A CHAIR NOW BECAUSE I AM NOT OK😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😥😓😕🙁😞😔😣😟😖😫😩🥺😢😭😥😓
Carolina is the real deal they're going to be very hard to defeat in the playoffs by any team
Anything to throw the other team off he's away
This is embarrassing for The top league in professional hockey. Could give up a little greed with fan seating and make big enough benches .
Underwater audio
Carolina has a smaller arena then a mimor hockey arena. Cheap and lazy gets this
I used to work for the Canes and we ALWAYS had a seat for the away goalie. Don’t know why Ilya chose to stand here, but it’s another example of the media twisting the narrative lol (oh and people running with whatever narrative they hear online)
George Costanza would find this man a chair.
This white noise audio nonsense HAS GOT TO GO!!! Boooooooooooooo!!!!
What a LAME arena that they don’t have a bench to fit the entire team.👎
