Patrick Roy's desperate move screws over the New York Islanders

Patrick Roy made a terrible mistake by switching usual playoff starter Semyon Varlamov against the Carolina Hurricanes for Ilya Sorokin.

While Ilya Sorokin has earned one of the highest-paid goalie contracts in the NHL, he has lost his role to Varlamov.

This, unfortunately, was a mistake that placed the New York Islanders into a 3-0 series deficit.

Ilya Sorokin allowed 3 goals on his first 11 shots, and was pulled during the first period.





To make things worse, Varlamov went on to now allow a single goal. While the New York Islanders were unable to score enough to stay in the game, if they had played Varlamov from the start it may have been a different story.
