This is good news, it explains why he wasnāt himself last year.
My only concern is if itās something chronic. Minor back surgery is surprisingly routine, but in the NHL there are āback guysā who are known for constantly missing time with back problems. Bossy is the most obvious example

Kind of refreshing getting some actual information and not some vague upper, Lower body injury. I hope Ilya is ready for the season.

The beer league player in me knew it was his back. He just didnāt look right after February.

Vasilevsky had back surgery last year and wasn’t the same goalie.

Nice to finally have clarification on what he was dealing with.

Finally some concrete stuff to work with.
That said, wasn’t it deemed a minor injury last week or am I tripping? Back surgery is not minor so idk about that lol just hope #30 has/has had a speedy recovery because when he’s right, he’s top tier.

No one said he had a broken back but do we know what type of surgery?
jimmibereal
Anyone know the procedure that was done ?

This is probably an unpopular opinion but with it being a back injury, I kinda get why Lou would want to keep it under wraps and not release a bunch of infoā¦ as fans we obviously want to know everything, but also giving Sorokin time to rest and heal without having fans and the media pressuring him for daily updates is a good thing.
The last thing he needs is a bunch of external expectations being imposed that might result in him overexerting himself. Let him get to feeling right, even if it takes a couple games into the seasonā¦ itās not like Varly isnāt perfectly capable of holding down the fort.

Maybe because he played for a month and a half straight with no break
