Give samsonov some rest for the next game rather than having him crushed.

And gets Woll's feet wet.

Plenty of reasons.
- Leaffrog

Way too many rebounds from Samsonov. You can’t keep giving the puck back to these guys

They didn't used to fine coaches $50k either. Burns probably would have acted differently.
- Monkeypunk

I'd be worried they'd hold a grudge lol

if I was a ref I would!

It would accomplish not having our starter try to shake off giving up a TD and a field goal at this point.

I'd rather start Woll next game than throw him to the wolves now.

I know this is probably a dumb take and i will happily be proven wrong but my faith in Sammy has dropped to 0. I don't believe series are long enough to gamble on a goalie getting good. I do think they'll start him next game (i wouldn't but thats fine) but if they go down 2-0, you put in Woll and you do not turn back.
Cant afford to play with a goalie that chokes under pressure. It sucks but Sammy may be that kind of goalie.
The rest of the team has a chance though. I'm trying to hard to be rational I swear.

Don’t talk crap to me. I have been watching for over 30 years and I am happy to cheer. But when will these punks earn the millions they were handed? Where are Matthew’s and Marner?

Get. Some. Help. You're the one who said you have legit ptsd from sports. Bloody sports! Its supposed to be entertaining and not give you mental illness. Get help. Seriously.

I'd say at least 2, probably 3 are gone.

Wtf is up with this team guys, seriously.
- IonSabres

They're their own worst enemy. It's all mental IMO

Oh FFS, Bunting took a cheap shot.

Period.

He made a stupid, selfish play that cost his team a chance to make a comeback.

Call it what it was.
- Atomic Wedgie

If it ends up with Cernak missing time/games though.... might end up helping the Leafs.

But yeah, not a fan of the hit obviously.

Remember when it was 3-2 and Tb got a PP for the lamest poop.

Iv watched that penalty 20 times lol. (frank)ing stupid game

After McCabe laid a clean hit and he was getting chased around the ice and interfered with

It’s called hyperbole

Protect Samsonov for Game 2
- Atomic Wedgie

Letting in 6 after 2 periods or 8 after 3 makes no difference. He folded like a lawn chair.

Serious question:

Why did you think that the name Matthews needed an apostrophe?

I'd say at least 2, probably 3 are gone.

- IonSabres

Still a long series but not a great game 1 showing so far and doesn’t ease the tension of the round one woes that have been circling the leafs

Bunting with a major brain fart.

Need a strong third to hopefully carry over to game two

I may not agree with this take, but I respect it.

I hope you enjoyed spring break with your family.

It’s called hyperbole
- Hockey_Reverend

I dont think it was... I think you're trying to walk it back because I called you out. Get help.

Oh FFS, Bunting took a cheap shot.

Period.

- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah it was, and it was a one off play. He's a 20 goal 50 point player who can help the team if he's on his game.

You're two periods removed from throwing a subtle chirp at people for going overkill and now a guy should never wear a leaf jersey again. Brilliant.

Probably just AC

I think Bunts will be gone next game. Keep Kerfoot in but those 3 in for the other 2 sounds good.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Nah, you bring back sammy for game 2
And Kerfoot is not coming out

I honestly think if the Leafs don’t win a round at least one of Shanny, Dubas, Keefe are gone.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Santo says no. Dubas is here forever.

I don’t care if you have air conditioning.
