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

[Confucius]

Quite a discrepancy in giveaways and takeaways,
Winnipeg gave it away 5 times but took it away 14 times
Meanwhile we gave it away 17 times and took it away 8 times

No idea how we won, lol!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don’t think so. Not this year. They have a great team. They have a shot to take down any team in the West. And Leafs are below the Jets in the standings. This loss was on the players who couldn’t finish a 2 on 0 against freaking Samsonov.

It's a meme. Don't ruin it.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Jets fans nice and salty over this one, and to be fair. They outplayed us. So I understand, but lol. Huge win for Sammy who saved us from our massive powerplay blunders. That 2-0 stop was huge. Swung momentum entirely.

Robertson is a stud.

As for the whole argument about injuries. Scheifele I can understand, but in any competitive league, next man up. Also wasn't hellebuyck sat, not injured? Not sure why they are upset over that. That was a coaching decision.

 

[egd27]

It's their Stanley Cup.

Can we stop this arrogance? Beating the Leafs is nobody's "Stanley Cup"

 

[Evilhomer]

Robertson is a stud.

I will be surprised if he is a Leaf after the deadline.

 

[stickty111]

I will be surprised if he is a Leaf after the deadline.

They would be silly to trade him

 

[Dayjobdave]

Do we trade Samsanov now that he’s rebounding and value might have increased?? lol

Now that would be a gutsy move

nope - the amount of hatred and glee when something goes wrong for the Leafs, absolutely warrants this kind of comment, as well their own fearless leader Scheifele said "Nothing like beating the Leafs"
Screw that, we always get every Canadian team's Sunday best when they play us, spurred on by their petty fanbase.

Jimmy Hughson also said "there is nothing better than beating the Toronto Maple Leafs on a Saturday night" doing PBP.

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Racer88]

Well done by Mattews. A small kindness for a guy who really needs it right now……..as was the standing ovation by the crowd

 

[Captain Crunch]

It can be argued that we played without a couple of our stars as well, particularly Marner, Rielly, Tavares and Nylander.

Would like to see two things change in the NHL, but it never will:
1) have a salary cap like the NBA does, where a team can go over it but will have to pay a luxury tax
2) have player contracts like the NFL:

Every NFL player who is on a team's roster during the year will earn a base salary divided up into 18 installments. That covers the 17-game schedule and the bye week which make up the season. If a player gets cut during the season, the bulk of the money they expected to earn gets lost unless they have a guarantee.

He would have to be a part of a bigger package. He wouldn’t bring much by himself.

The Owners won't allow #1 and the Players won't allow #2.

I get that Canadians in general have a negative opinion about Toronto , but let’s be real, when it comes to hockey, the Leafs they are historically the worst franchise in the NHL.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Beating the Leafs is nobody's "Stanley Cup"

The Jets disagree.

 

[egd27]

Winnipeg begs to differ.

Yea, that's how the room would look after actually winning the Stanley Cup.

True captain behaviour by Matthews

You should tell Scheifele that they should have trashed the room after screaming "VICTORYYYYYY" down the hallway, saying that "there's nothing better than beating the Leafs", and cheering, yelling, and flailing their arms in the air, before they went to go get, and I quote, "****ed up".

 

[notDatsyuk]

They are very strong in some areas but man do they lack any kind of offensive creativity. They just fired pucks at the net from anywhere and everywhere often when there was nobody in front for a rebound and often from very low danger areas. I dont watch the jets enough to know if this is what they always do but they were boring as F. imo.

If you had the scouting report on Sammy (maybe omitting the Seattle game) wouldn't you be shooting from everywhere as often as possible?

or at least have the rest of room look they were even mildly excited about the winning "their Stanley Cup"

Is it really though? He did nothing all game and scored on 3 v 3 when Robertson did all the work, seems like common sense

Our Selke winner with 4 of the 8 giveaways by the forwards.

Long overdue that the owners take them to task and break the players union. This crap league with little trades, tax rate factors and all the rest need addressed. There is a big need for restructuring and no trade clauses are the top of my list to get rid of.

I guess you didn't see the game or the video. Oh, there was plenty of excitement.
