Post-Game Talk: Ilya Samsonov. Leafs win 2-1 in OT!

[BertCorbeau]

No business winning that game but it happens. Didn’t watch anything but the third, what’s the word on the first game by Knies. Hopefully he looked comfortable out there.

He looked comfortable and tried to engaged. Saw glimpses of his forechecking potential. Physically ready for the NHL and his speed is fine at this level.

He just didn't entirely know where to be on the ice at times which mostly looked like he just hasn't practiced with the team before, which is entirely true. Additionally he was thrown in a line blender so that didn't help things.

A couple of rough turnovers in the third, but that's going to happen.

Those boots look to big for him

 

[trellaine201]

Knies looked exactly like a guy coming right out of college without a practice would be heading into his first game

Oddly enough he didn't look out of place though. Being thrown with different line mates doesn't help. Some practice time and time will help find his positioning with his linemates.

I was impressed. Just one rough shift. I don’t think he played in the 3rd? or not very much.

Also I was a bit surprised Keefe didn't give Knies a chance in that 3 on 3 OT .. Maybe he intended to at some point but that got derailed in the second half, but asides from Marner's 100th point, I would have thought him getting out there would have been fun.

Russia is a goalie factory right now. What a game by Samsonov.

Keefe kept him on the bench when it was late in the game after they tied it

Pitts (90) - CBJ, CHI
NYI (91) - MTL
FLO (92) - CAR

Still a decent chance Florida doesn't make it

JT too senile to know that he was completely out of gas but scores anyways.

lol

JT with a lil too much pep in his step

 

[Auston Escobar]

That was a win in my book before the GWG. We played ugly, clog the middle of the ice hockey against a desperate opponent and held them to virtually nothing.

Getting the real W and leaving healthy is huge!

The shots were deceiving, we had a lot of quality, and they had some.

Isles have a better chance against the B's because of their goaltending.

 

[LeafsNation149]

JT in OT when he's fresh = slow and lets goal against every time
JT in OT after 2:30 played = McDavid

 

[ToneDog]

He played MOST of the overtime hemmed in our zone

Imagine if the Panthers scored with JT on the ice? Instead JT turns the tables. Lol.

Should be Sammy's last game till the playoffs. Play the EBUG or tie Murray to posts Millhouse style tomorrow.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I hate the name tags. Leave that shit to American broadcasters.

 

[Jojalu]

Woll should play the rest of the week.
Going to run the goalie into the ground.

He has played 40 games this year.

Vasi has played 60

Knies

also the isles will play Boston really heavy!

 

[notdoneyet]

How can anyone complain about knies

No practice
Playing with two low hockey IQ players

With the effort bunting put in tonight
I would have replaced knies with him

 

[BertCorbeau]

I imagine Sammy won't play the final 2 games assuming they Leafs don't have to dress an EGAD

Get Woll up here.
