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

[TheRumble]

Knies looked good.

Needs to work on his defensive instincts I think. Ended up turning over the puck at least twice on some ABC clearing scenarios.

Uses his size well in the offensive zone to maintain puck possession, would like to see him shoot more. I think he fits Keefe's possession heavy, sustained offense scheme well.

LOL, those boots. Wtf? Goodness.

Dallas cowboy cheerleader

 

[willmma]

2nd overall is within reach

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Samsanov looks amazing.

@Mess do you concede?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

My ideal scenario is Pittsburgh winning out to leapfrog both and go into WC1, and the Islanders leapfrog Florida to face Boston as WC2. Florida and PoMo can get bent.

 

[Kazparov]

That kind of goalie could win us a round or two

 

[CelticDruid]

Awesome goal by Tavares but that breakaway was like watching salmon jumping upstream in a forty-knot headwind.

I should try this, but I know the end result will be old cleetus in a body cast! lmao!

Fukcn no,,,don't!! LOL

Good ol' kb did the 13 year old f'ed up wheelie on a beach and went over, and late 70's shorts were not something the world needs to revisit.....

Tavares now tied for 6th all time for OT goals.

Only Ovi, Crosby, Jagr, Kovalchuk and Marchand have more.

This guy is a f***ing loser lol

 

[Jojalu]

Ok?

I am not that worried that he is worn out.

If he does indeed have a nagging injury then I am all for resting him, but if he is healthy I hope he plays Thu

If only they could all somehow miss.. life is unfair.

Canada women just beat US in the 9th round of shootout.

Round Robin tho

 

[Jojalu]

And maybe if Vasi played less after 3 Cup final runs Tampa would be doing better this season and Vasi would be better rested for playoffs.

Probably. But Samsonov has not played in 3 straight cup finals. I am not too worried about his workload

 

[Teeder Keon]

This guy is a f***ing loser lol

Yep
All of them are

It was a highly entertaining shootout.

Not bad for someone who shouldn't be on the ice during OT

 

[MSZ]

"Islanders Videos" lol

 

[Macallan18]

Literally the polar opposite of what happened against Florida a couple of weeks ago.

No, we won both

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Look like Islanders need Johnny after all

That's what I was hoping because the Islanders might not beat Boston, but they'll give any time a rough series. They could maybe even beat us, as they have a big, physical team, which we've generally struggled with.

With the way tonight went, its a little more unlikely though

Sammy with a .979 sv% game. Thank you, now sit down.

I got $5 that somebody we don't know about yet took a shot to the pills and will have to sit tomorrow. Step on up, Mr. Joseph Woll.

Knies definitely didn't look out of place. My biggest critique of his game was he seemed out of position at times, which is expected. Not sure you can draw many conclusions from this game.

His awareness will improve over time, as will his defensive acumen.

What stood out to me was his play along the boards, and he's got quick hands for a big guy.
