Didn't like Samsonov in Toronto... not very good positional goalie, looked like he was guessing often. I said the same thing after game 1 as Ullmark did... "I would've ran with Woll". Not surprised Keefe didn't... think Keefe is a below average coach too. Have said it for years. Now need to go back to Marner is overrated thread on the Leaf board.

So when Ullmark basically called out Samsonov and said he cost them the series it’s not like he was wrong. Samsonov went 0-4 against Swayman in the playoffs last year and he was absolute garbage compared to Woll (and Swayman). Had Samsonov beat Swayman once the Leafs win the series but he couldn’t.

That said, I also understand why Samsonov was pissed because why is Ullmark calling him out? Ullmark always sucked in the playoffs and the one game he played against Toronto last year in the playoffs was Samsonov’s only win against Boston. It would make sense for Swayman to call him out, as he’s the one that actually beat him.. but Ullmark played one game and lost and he’s the one taking shots.

Ullmark vs Samsonov is scheduled for today so it’s nice to see some players that hate each other, at least one of them does. The NHL fails at marketing it though, the NBA would be all over this as they love the drama and use it to their advantage.

I wonder if Ullmark intended to compliment Woll more than out Samsonov down. Woll is a phenomenal goalie.

Woll's saves above expected was high in the season I believe, while Samsonovs were low. Woll also was spectacular the playoffs before vs Florida. Who knows why Keefe ran with shaky Samsonov.

Don't like either team, and I have nothing against Ullmark either. I just find the 'feud' entertaining and I have a bit of a soft spot for Samsonov even though he shat the bed last year.
lol OK
You have Rielly in your avatar, and most of your post are in the leafs forum, and no other team forums.
You’re in GDT , post game leafs threads
Just look at page 1 for example
Don’t think you’re fooling anyone saying you don’t like the leafs. It’s obvious their your team.

Perhaps you should brush up on your reading comprehension. I was referring to both Vegas and Ottawa. Obviously I am a Leafs fan.
Reading comprehension shows you were commenting to someone who talked about the Leafs? What other context are we supposed to go off of?

Re-read the exchange, he quoted me first.
Not gonna lie I kinda hope Samsonov has the game of his life today :laugh:

Most leaf fans would I assume.

Since I just mentioned the leafs,
It’s easy to see why

But I can see both sides now
Cheers

Woll was not very good down the stretch last season after coming back from injury, while Samsonov had bounced back reasonably well from his early season struggles.

Keefe should have moved off him after game 1 (or at the very least after game 3) but Samsonov had earned the first start over Woll.

Anyway, hope Sammy dominates tonight.

Also an comment from someone who posted more in the Leafs forum than his own team's.

Samsonov makes 38 saves, including a clutch stop to rob Perron from tying the game and puts up a .950 sv% lol

The irony of Shitsonsov calling anyone injury prone is hilarious.

And nothing Ullmark said was wrong. Woll should've been the game 1 starter.

I guess Vegas had to meet their mental midget goalie quota with Lehner off the books
