Great win. Sammy was really good and defense was solid tonight

Really solid win.

Samsonov building some confidence is huge for us.

 

[Budz]

Sammy gets the belt. Hockey culture.

 

[DarkKnight]

Happy for Sammy, he was good.

[MSZ]

Keefe stays alive for a few more days.

 

[DarkKnight]

Bench Robertson.

 

[Confucius]

Held them to 17 shots, nice win, Papi with number 38. Sammy made a couple of 10 bellers

 

[Bomber0104]

Van Ryn sure needed that win, he lives to defensively coach another game..

I fell asleep twice

When Sammy has to make acrobatic saves he's amazing. That and when he isn't moving around much.

Good defence, very good goaltending

1st line looked like peak 1st line. Marner dancing, Matthews chugging, knies grinding

2nd line was hit or miss, the first 5 seconds determined the rest of the shift, Tavares had his strongest game yet and he still couldn’t get on the board

3rd line did it again, Robertson will now be sat till the trade deadline

4th line was good, hemmed them in when we needed them to especially at the end of the third

I liked everyone on defence’s game apart from Brodie, I’d look to bring lagesson in for him to give him a reset like gio

 

[Buds17]

Is it alright to like Samsonov again?

This was a nice win!

 

[Dekes For Days]

Nice to get a win like that after the mess of the last couple weeks.

Good confidence builder for Samsonov.

[Confucius]

Bench Robertson.

Basically did played the least minutes 8:52

 

[Amadeus]

Every pass seemed tape to tape. It was beautiful to watch. On to the next.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Nice win. Sammy played very well. McCabe, Rielly and Benoit looked good on the back end. Matthews line was dangerous. Domi looked good. Glad him and Bert got a point. 4th line hustled all night. Tavares was extremely unnoticeable, which is a good thing.

Last time I did this Sammy went on a run, so here goes, Sammy Smiles is back!

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Feel good for Sammy.

 

[Aashir]

Bench Robertson.

Keefe probably telling him to find his own way to Toronto for the Winnipeg game

 

[Scion]

Mitch Marner looks alot more like himself this week and Samsonov had his best game of the year tonight. The defense still sucks outside of Rielly and McCabe, but you take the positives wherever you can get em.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Robertson continues to produce in limited action (8:52 tonight)

Not sure what else he is supposed to do for more playing time.
