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

[29Potvin]

Mitch needs to take lessons from Matthews on how to do an interview.
Took responsibility and acknowledged they need to be better and that they need to fix it.
Mo and AM are the real leaders and captains

Also some credit to Keefe today.
He benched the #1 PP unit for the entire PP. He also double shifted Robertson in the 3rd

Weird what in game adjustments can do. 7 years later I guess better then never

 

[Strangle]

Where are all these individuals who were spewing bile at Robertson and Samsonov? Great game from both of them.

I’m right here!

Sammy has been the worst goalie in the whole league and responsible for the team almost falling out of a playoff spot.

I’ll criticize that kind of play all day long.

I’ll also celebrate when the play is good and root for him when he’s in our net. He still has a long way to go to turn this season into a successful one.

 

[Evilhomer]

I didnt watch much of that but @Evilhomer you are right about Winnipeg. They have injuries, but they are anemic.

I might be missing something, but I think they are just a team that went on a heater. No different than Seattle.

A win is a win but this team is in a terrible spot in a lot of different ways, from special teams to overall consistency. I can only hope they'll trend upwards at the right time but right now it's rough.

Robertson played a career high tonight and he needs to be played like that more often.

The have the 2019 St. Louis Blues written all over them.

 

[Cleetus]

That would be great for the Jets; you don't win many games playing like that. Samsonov was obviously really good.

With Scheifele, Vilardi, Morrissey and Helle in the lineup I don't think it's close though

 

[arso40]

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

I am one of the ppl I must admit I’m liking him again……….

 

[Sypher04]

I can’t believe we won that one. So many low effort guys out there. Robertson had a great game. Sammy, feel great for the guy, he needed that. Only reason we won was those two guys.

Winnipeg matched us in playing uninspired, so I’m not really surprised we were able to edge out the win

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Feeling really good for Samsonov right now. That was his win one-hundo-p.

 

[Budz]

Marner is a f***ing clown.

Terrible game, no effort, no f***s given. Then, after the game he is literally hugging Carlton.

Can’t stand this guy.

 

[Evilhomer]

What I take from this game is that the league and the refs are clearly biased against the Leafs.

Mo I might buy... AM.. not a chance. AM needs to find a whole other gear, especially in the playoffs. But he'll probably get the C anyways once Tavares moves on.

(and yes I know he scores goals in the regular season)

 

[cyris]

Missed the end, what was Robertson doing in the ice it OT?

Good on Keefe for rewarding him… he’s steadily improving

Winning us the game!!!

 

[arso40]

This was Liljegren most bizarre game when it came to decision making. And he's generally not upper echelon in that regard to begin with.

In his defence the hard forechecc and pinch along the wall was tough for the whole team like the fact we play them again let’s see if we can match the intensity this time

 

[Lightsol]

Play Robertson more. He's good

He'll be back in the press box next game, count on it.

 

[DarkKnight]

590 postgame "Nylander was a dog tonight".

It isn't even the half assed plays, it's the inexcusable lazy back checking that I thought we were over. His agent rolled us, that contract will end up being the worst yet.

 

[LeafsStorm]

Just saw Sammy's post game interview—talking about the crowd chanting his name, making him emotional. Can't help but root for this guy.

Anyone got a link

 

[rojac]

Marner is a f***ing clown.

Terrible game, no effort, no f***s given. Then, after the game he is literally hugging Carlton.

Can’t stand this guy.

There are 31 other teams without Marner.

 

[All Mod Cons]

That would be great for the Jets; you don't win many games playing like that. Samsonov was obviously really good.

With Scheifele, Vilardi, Morrissey and Helle in the lineup I don't think it's close though

Cool

 

[GardinerTheForward]

I blame samsonov for like 3-4 losses this year but now thats 2-3 losses cause he gets credited with winning us this one.

The special teams are absolute ass and we need to see change immediately or fire the respective coaches. We are in lots of close games and a PP goal here or there would go along way

 

[TheDoldrums]

 

[PromisedLand]

Samsonov truly deserved that shutout but the rest of the team, I dunno... Guess you just take the two points and never talk about it again...

5 PPs and nothing, and they gave up a 2 on 0 shorty handed chance thanks to Sammy for shutting the door

AND

even strength they just kept playing to the outside like morons

 

[Cleetus]

I expect a much better Effort on Saturday, because I dont think it can get any worse lol

 

[Clark4Ever]

I'm happy for Sammy.
