Post-Game Talk: Samsonov Is Back! | Leafs Win 1-0!

[notDatsyuk]

I missed the game. How did Winnipeg get a 2 on 0 shorthanded?

Tripped Willy with no call. I liked Timmins slewfoot when he finally caught up.

With the Jets missing 4 of their top 5 players in Scheifele, Vilardi, Morrissey, Hellebuyck and a recently injured Kyle Connor.. you might be on to something…

Imagine playing a healthy Jets team without Matthews, Reilly, Marner and an injured Nylander that just came back after missing 2 months.

I would be pretty happy keeping them to one goal and getting one point in OT.

I dont think the Jets got where they are by going on a win streak.. I think they’re just really injured and missing 4 of their top guys.

Scheifele and Vilardi are not comparable to Matthews and Marner. Kyle Connor looked strong enough, we've had our best guys play injured plenty. Brossoit also has like top 10 goaltending numbers this season. Their results are similar with him or Helly in net.

They were shorthanded but Scheifele is the only real setback here. Vilardi is talented but is still relatively unproven with a career high 41 points. They're still a very tough defensive team without those guys which is their specialty.

We grinded out a tough one against a good team. Still work to be done but it's OK to enjoy an ugly win now and then.

Nylander with another disappearing act.

Amazing all the people on these boards who didn’t want to give the guy another start, just throw him on the scrap heap, who have turned around 180 degrees lol

So, we’re not supposed to give him credit where it’s due?

He has looked good so far since he came back to the team, but, I am not 100% convinced he’s “back” just yet.

I am being cautiously optimistic.

So true

[ZEBROA]

Dont play Tavares with Nylander.
Tavares 7 shots on goal. good. No goals Baaad. They both cant find the net right now , not a great combo.

Put Robertsson up with Holmberg and Nylander.

Fantastic by Samsonov hope he can keep his cool the rest of the season.

Tf are these random ass Jets fans doing here.

SAMMY BOY SHUTOUT

KEEP IT UP MY MAN!!!

aston reese lol

 

[francis246]

Thought Robertson had a hell of a game

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

can we EVER have a full team effort AND good goaltending- like ever?????

man jt and wn need to get going.

 

[francis246]

robertson was great in OT

Not just OT but the entire game. He was constantly winning puck battles, putting himself in good shooting lanes. Did a great job holding the line then dumping it in to help his line keep possession. Lots of great things he did.

It's games like this more gimmick points, that put exclamation points on how the leafs after years of this core ,will never a long playoff run team
They can grind

Robbie works his nuts off every shift since he was a teenager

 

[verdi]

So that's what it feels like to win in OT.
Feels odd.
I'll take it though.

If we lose it’s a “loser” point
If we win it’s a “gimmick” point
Love it, if it goes to OT we just bad. lol!

We didn’t allow a single goal in the game. If you want to focus on the bonus point as a negative, you do you, but there’s zero indication we would have ended up with the same result if it continued 5v5

Boston has had 2 less OT games than the Leafs.

They have lost 9 in OT, won a couple in a S/O.

Check the video in the first post of this thread.

Bruh...

The 2 on 0 short handed chance by Winnipeg tells you all you need to know about this team.
0 0 tie mathews and marner not engaged in the game

 

[GoonieFace]

Nylander with another disappearing act.

He had plenty of company

 

[Nineteen67]

As Sammy said when asked about the 2 on 0 in the first, "this is not typical thing you see in NHL!" Sometimes I think it really is possible that he has a problem speaking English, but then he says something like that and I think, Sammy you sly dog,

The last thing I expected was a 1-0 O/T win. Happy to have it for sure, but that can't happen a whole lot from here on in, unless of course your goaltender is not typical thing you see in NHL.

It‘s obviously not something those Winnipeg players practice. 2 on 0 and really didn’t have a good scoring chance.

I've noticed they always play like shit when they wear the black uniforms. Not saying there's a correlation but just I've noticed

Just another reason to despise that uniform. I hate the look, it’s not the Leafs look, and they suck in them to boot.
