After goaltender Ilya Samsonov on waivers Sunday, the Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Dennis Hildeby from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies. Should Hildeby see some game action? Is it a risk to bring him up too soon? TSN’s Gino Reda has more.

Just finished watching PWHL inaugural game New York vs Toronto. Leafs should be pay attention. Many on ice collisions. It was good to see some physical hockey in Toronto for a change. Also Leafs goaltending issues would be solved with Kristen Campbell or Corinne Schroeder. Goaltending's not the biggest issue here. How about an NHL level defensive strategy instead of hanging these guys out to dry.
17-17 Maple Leafs or "they've won 17 of 34 games"
Give him a chance.
sometimes guys that get a chance just run with it. Put him in and see what happens and when Woll is healthy send him back to finish the season out with the Marlies, unless he turns into 1972 ken Dryden then just ride him to a cup win. Hildeby is a no-lose situation. 5 games in the show won't hurt his development and if he just grabs it and goes the team wins big. Jones is at best a temporary solution to the Samsonov problem and playing him in back to back situations is risking an injury that we cant afford
This is what happens when you put all yoru money and attention in the front end. Both of these GM's are braindead. Need someone to bring a better balance to the team and I would consider moving one of the big 3 to bring in better D and goalie. Marner or Nylander should be on the chopping block. I dont like to move em but at this point they need to if they want to win a cup.
Why didn't they go for Halak? It would cost nothing in trades. They are about to stunt the kids development
Dumas created this disastrous situation with Shanahans blessings
This clusterfuck situation in nets looks good on the Leafs…real good.
22 years old is not a kid anymore.He should be ready by now to play.
Id rather see what this kid can do january rather then game 6 of the playoffs
Cue Leafs fans claiming this kid is the next coming of Patrick Roy
Hildebeast! Our new Vezina candidate for the Maple Leafs! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!
I think Ilya is shit and anything is better.
Leafs built too much offence and have fatal back end issues.
😂new this was coming welcome Hildeby 🇨🇦
Searching for diamonds 😂🇨🇦🔥
Too early imo. Makes me nervous. Can’t rush goaltenders even with a situation like this where our original starter and backup are both unavailable.
So excited 😁🇨🇦
Here's for provoking your own will 🇨🇦😁
Leafs goal tending and D has looked like a team when its rebuilding.
Nobody's saying 5'10" 18yr old Bedard is just a kid. It's only a pressure cooker in the medias eyes. Give the 22yr old goalie a chance. Samsonov is the reason the Leafs are where they are in the standings.
dude needs to play in the nhl at sometime, why not now..
