looks like someone has an agenda... Samsonov, and Woll would be lucky to get the backup role the way he's playes since coming back. Woll is playing worse than early season SamsonovWho's your starter ?
Moneypuck's Goal Above Expected (this year).

It's near certain that Keefe's safest play is to play Samsonov, and that's what Keefe does.
Samsonov is the only choice.
Cant argue.Woll is playing worse than early season Samsonov
every goalie is a bad goalie on the PK with the chances we give up.He's going to let in perimeter shots and it'll kill us.
He's also a BAD goalie on the PK.
Cant argue.
Play Jones.

...quick side to side WIDE open look shots are near impossible to stop.
my agenda is the Leaf's win.looks like someone has an agenda... Samsonov, and Woll would be lucky
Jones has faced 2 shots in the playoffs since 2019, and he's a goalie that didnt get claimed in waivers on a min contract when there was a plethora of teams with goalie injuries. (most people expected him to not clear)View attachment 853812
Jones is the better EV strength goalie, but Woll is better on the PK, Sammy is the worst in every category. Sammy has a history of playoff difficulty - INCLUDING OUR TEAM LAST YEAR - INCLUDING why Washington passed on him - but we are ride or die-ing the guy.
If Jones plays well tonight I say we ride him til he loses.
Would the goalies think it's disruptive ? Probably.
I wonder if there is a rule about too many goalie changes ?
Listen - I KNOW I'M DESPERATE.Jones has faced 2 shots in the playoffs since 2019, and he's a goalie that didnt get claimed in waivers on a min contract when there was a plethora of teams with goalie injuries.
Jones played okay at best.Listen - I KNOW I'M DESPERATE.
But Jones played quite well for us this year.
He hasn't seen much NHL action for a while now. So that alone probably means he's out.
Unless he plays tonight.
That's what I am hoping for again !the team played a lot harder in front of him (jones) for his first dozen starts (desperation), and when they didnt, he looked questionable
The Score has Jones as the starter. they are often wrong.Wolls chance was last night and while I don't blame him for the team defense in the second period he had to grab the ring and he missed. Sammy in game 1 unless he gets hurt tonight.
IF he falters *REALLY BAD*, what's your game plan for Game 2 ?Samsonov, but he has the shortest of leashes.
I'd put up a 3rd. "BRUINS THREW THEIR LAST TWO GAMES SO THEY COULD FACE YOU IN ROUND #1 INSTEAD OF TAMPA".That's what I am hoping for again !
I see two pieces of paper taped on the wall outside the Leaf's locker room.
One has the forwards grouped in 3s and the other has them in groups of 4. And all the players are looking at the foresomes.

Players still looking at the foresomes.I'd put up a 3rd. "BRUINS THREW THEIR LAST TWO GAMES SO THEY COULD FACE YOU IN ROUND #1 INSTEAD OF TAMPA".
Woll and lots of prayer.IF he falters *REALLY BAD*, what's your game plan for Game 2 ?
Woll gets the net. Although just to be honest, I don't have much faith in any of the Leafs goalies to win games on their own. They just need to be adequate and pray the big guys show up.IF he falters *REALLY BAD*, what's your game plan for Game 2 ?
The only way they show up is if Swayman/Ullmark do not. I expect we will see much of the same from the core, worse if playoff Rielly is nowhere to be found. He has been bad since he returned from his injury.Woll gets the net. Although just to be honest, I don't have much faith in any of the Leafs goalies to win games on their own. They just need to be adequate and pray the big guys show up.
Ick. Do they want the guy staggering into the playoffs after two horrendous starts?That's what I am hoping for again !
