GDT: Game #33 Dec. 29 Toronto @ Columbus

[Atomos2]

We should get a poll running. How many games does Samsonov cost the Leafs?

 

[Racer88]

I just wish our reporters that cover the team would ask the coach some decent hockey questions at the end of the game.

They are probably told not to

maybe 8

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Should have started Hildebeast

Last time they asked him why he's playing Sammy he said cause he has to.

 

[Stephen]

I'm not really sure why Samsonov is on the roster at this point. This doesn't feel like a "play through it" situation

Guy seems like he's dealing with mental health issues that go beyond having the yips in a pro sports context. We're just bleeding points and destroying a guy under a spotlight.

Why do the Leafs suck?

 

[scotian1]

The team in front of Sam is sending the coach a message: they will not be helping him out anymore. Yet here we are.

If this reallly is the team attitude it would clearly identify them as a bunch of losers.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Who’s coaching this team?

I'm doing it remotely. Sorry.

We'd be ahead of the Bruins if he was merely .900 this season.

That’s why we have Martin Jones

 

[francis246]

Why would management dictate who the goalie is?

They dictate which goalies are on the roster. It’s a back to back. Martin Jones isn’t playing two games in two nights.

I’m pretty sure Keefe has already expressed to Brad he can’t trust him. But unless Brad sends him down or trades him what is Keefe supposed to do? Martin isn’t a guy you can play 5 games in a row including a back go back. Sammy has to play

 

[WTFMAN99]

We better see this guy in net for the 3rd

 

[fahad203]

That was a great effort by Tavares

 

[keonsbitterness]

He's pulled goalie on first of back to back before.

Probably because we're not losing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tavares going full Berezin

 

[Stephen]

Not scoring a Michigan on us, that looks so bad. Lol

If Kent Johnson did that against us, I'd hope someone would blast him back to Michigan.

 

[Budz22]

you have one job Sammy

 

[DarkKnight]

Welcome back Gio.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Samsonov trying to figure out what sport he's supposed to be playing right now.

 

[saffronleaf]

someone needs to put fantilly in his place.

 

[TimeZone]

It's just absurd at this point that Samsonov is still in the NHL

 

[Rare Jewel]

Should have started Hildebeast

Maybe I'd rather leave him; this D is a pile as well, to be fair.

 

[Burnie97]

I know the d isn't prefect but 11 shots and 4 goals.

Make a f***ing save Samsonov. Awful.

 

[saffronleaf]

Should have started Hildebeast

name sounds intense

 

[tuckerintensity]

Yeah, because he's not an NHL goalie.

Because the majority of goalies, NHL or otherwise, don't stop those.

Sorry to interrupt the party.
