Tavares line on for the GWG. Muzzin fanned on his attempted clear, but the Cookie Monster was gone.
 
The Dodgers lost a series to the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Just sayin'.
Anyone can lose a series, especially in baseball, but looking at those teams (Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo, Arizona), we lost 9 games to them (only 2 in OT). That is 18 points against very weak opponents. Win less than 50% (4 games), we win the division and we are playing Washington. Hmmmm, Tampa or Washington, who would we rather have played.

 
We have 0 roster flexibility what's he going to do in that aspect? Play Holl with Riley or sandin with Riley?

Unless we waive Holl or Muzzin the pairs can't change much until lily gets back

Wonder if anyone would claim Muzzin if he was waived?

Not saying they should waive him at this point, but if he can't get back to playing condition it is an option.

Sure, they'd be carrying 4.5 dead cap space, but they could recall him if required.
 
Keefe went out of his way to not blame the goalie.
QUESTION
With a really strong performance tonight does Samsonov get the Start Saturday, or because it is Ottawa that is reserved for Murray/goalie starts are mapped out for the 1st 10 games already.

Except you have to account for all the points Tampa lost playing weak teams. Their kryptonite was New Jersey.

Every good team loses games they should win every year multiple times.

This is not a Leaf thing

I think they should keep alternating for the first few games, maybe up to game 5 or ten. that way both of them will get over their early season rust and there's a bigger sample size to judge from.

You are mistaken. They lost once to NJ and only 3 times to those 4 sad sack teams we lost to. The point remains, we lost too many games to bad teams.

We know Keefe makes these goalie decisions ahead of time - there's likely a plan in place that would have had Murray / Samsonov / Murray for the first 3 starts of the season.

Other than a shutout 1st star performance tonight, I would anticipate that Murray gets right back in against Ottawa.
