At what point do we accept our coach is awful and our systems make for horrible defensive coverage.

You understand all three of things are not mutually exclusive, correct?

Our defense is garbage, our coach and garbage and absolutely yes, Samsonov is a piece of shit in the net.

Not do what they did on the 2nd goal? The team is great at playing defense by holding onto the puck in the offensive zone....actually defending in their own zone is a shit show right now. Like do you seriously think this has been a good defensive team so far? Really?

All the time? Even the best defensive teams have those break downs. Want to guess on the difference?

Can we get a tough save here or are we just expecting to be perfect defensively? Are the Leafs supposed to not allow ANY shots against?

Leafs just spent 2 full minutes on the offensive zone, Johansson made 2 saves.

less saves than goals 13 minutes in but can't blame the goalie at all

3 shots on goal and 2 goals. Lol

Toronto needs to cut ties with Samsonov. He is terrible.

No defense no goaltending

With this group Keefe isn’t the right coach

We are going absolutely nowhere.

There’s no contending team in here
They'll be lucky to make the playoffs with the way their D and goaltending has been.

That’s just a dirty hit. I hate that narrative for him. I think he’s had some shitty luck. Bad play by the defender to hit him right in the head and a bit of a blindside

EDIT* he returned to the game

He is the player you try and get back in and put in the best position to succeed in the NHL and hope he stays healthy this season and you trade in the off. The guy is not durable at all.

I'm not going to write Sammy off, but he's been dreadful this season.

Even if the D hasn't done him any favors, if he wants to be a starting goalie he has to stop the tough shots sometimes. Find a way to make the save anyway you can

Sammy was good behind competent defence. Most good goalies who are not top 7 are playing behind good defensive teams like NJ VGK CAR COL.

This is a defence problem. Treliving needs to own this.
