  1. Samsonov likely suffering PTSD from playing behind the likes of Brodie for 20 minutes a game for way to long. Fucking guy is never where he needs to be and couldn't block a shot to save his goddamn life. All he does is watch Leaf games and sometimes jump in to screen his own goaltenders for 5.25mill a yr. I wish Sammy a speedy recovery.

  2. Calling up the kid and starting him in California is not the right play. Especially the way how the defence is playing the kid is going to get killed out there. The NHL is not the AHL totally different beast the kid has to face. If he does play Iโ€™m willing to come back to this comment and say he got thrown to the wolves or if he does amazing Iโ€™ll gladly eat my words right up. Jones is the guy right now Iโ€™m confident in him that he will carry the load for now

  3. The problem isn't Samsonov, the problem is that the rest of the team are playing as if they have Vasilevskiy or Demko in goal behind them.

  4. Marner gives away the puck night after night and Keefe's solution is scratching Kampf. With any luck Keefe will get fired. Giordano is back. However Keefe will now run him into the ground with way to much playing time.

  5. This seasons looking like it might resemble the 2019 – 2020 season a lot for the Leafs in the sense there was about 20 – 30 games left in the season & it was a dogfight for 3rd in the Division. This will probably be a season where the Leafs will struggle to make the Playoffs, let alone do anything once they get there

    They better not go All In at the Deadline as they don't have Elite Defence or Goaltending & you need at least 1 of those to go along with their Elite defence to be a Cup Contender. With how Alright their Defence is the team really needs a Top Goalie to make up for that & they don't have anything like that.

  6. U guys can blame the coach – the goaltending – the shitty defence – team softness blah blah blah but yur all missing out on the ultimate king of no accountability other than fuckhead trudeau- its none other than brendan shanahan

  7. A lot of people think Joseph Woll is the savior but he's a year ahead of schedule. This guy is still a rookie and to put all this pressure on his back at this point is a crap shoot. His injury could affect his play, I think he has been awesome but it's not a guarantee that he's the answer.

  8. Leafs will never go past first round with their current goalies. Always the main issue, Donโ€™t send them down to AHL, send them to a shrink

  9. Nobody is going to take him. He is done in the NHL after the Leafs.

    Keefe needs out. And I hate to say it, but maybe Willy needs to go? Possibly Mitch too? The big 4 are not getting it done. Time to change it up!

  10. I agree 100%. This team has respectable stats offensively. Here's the thing; If you score 5 goals but lose 6-5 or score 6 goals but lose 7-6 what does it matter?!? Stop blaming Samsonov who came into this job with some integrity. Admittedly, he is troubled right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he went somewhere else and became a Leaf killer but that isn't going to serve the Leaf's defensive issues. If you had players actually coached on HOW to play defense, how to finish their assignments, how to block shots it would IMMEDIATELY elevate the performance/confidence of the goalie behind them. It's simple math! It's difficult not to name names but there is one defenseman that CONSISTENTLY screws up. I think he would lead the NHL for assists however they would be assists for the opposition! And yet, he gets played on PPs!?!?!?! That identifies issues not restricted to defense. It reminds me of the guy working on his golf swing. He has a horrible swing and he keeps practicing it!! He needs his swing FIXED, not ingrained! Sadly, "THE captain must go down with the ship", and I don't mean Tavares. If there was a Poke-Check award, the Leafs would OWN it! Their D has HORRENDOUS fundamentals….and whomever you put behind them in the pipes is going to get DESTROYED!! Let's blame Samsonov, then Jones, then Woll, then Hildeby, then….. Here's wishing Samsonov all the best, where-ever he goes. Hopefully he will have a D in front of him.

  11. Maybe it's time to look at the management and the coaching? Dumass created this hot mess and was smart enough to get out of dodge and run to Pitt.

  12. Woll will be destroyed when he returns. No defence either in personnel or structure. Leafs must score at least 4 goals every game to have a chance to win on a regular basis

  13. The only way for the leafs to move forward is to trade one of the big forwards (perhaps a sign and trade for Nylander) to get a top defender to anchor the blue line, and somehow to get at least a competent NHL goalie, their goalie situation right now is a complete dumpster fire

  14. BRAD MARCHAND still OWNS the Leafsโ€ฆ nothing will change. A new goalie does not grow spines in the millionaires. ๐Ÿ˜ข Watching Brad challenge the entire Leafโ€™s bench and watch them turtle should make any Leaf fan ๐Ÿคฎ

  15. I think the coach has to go, he lost the room, anyone see the video of him with his arm on nylanders shoulder on the bench?
    Nylander was like almost rolling His eyes as the coach is talking, he doesnโ€™t have the respect and the defence system is horrendous, I canโ€™t stand dump and chase hockey. It sucks balls

  16. I hope he bounces back.

    Who was responsible for the awful line change verses Columbus that allowed a 3 on 1 with Johnny Gaudreau leading their charge?

    Coach?

    Players that came off or on and didn't notice 5 players were heading off at the same time?

    Was it Kampf? Without that goal against the Leafs would have won that game.

    Keefe or the coaches in charge of that misstep should be out for a game.

    They are in charge of line changes.

    There were lots of mistakes made in that game the goalie was not responsible for that led to goals, the Leafs are not placing responsibility where it belongs.

    Keefe should be taking himself out for a few games.

    I hope he bounces back.

  17. The team defence has been bad, Sammy has been much worse. An โ€œattractiveโ€ goaltending trade will not fix this team, Iโ€™d be happy rolling with Woll/Jones with a stronger team defensively then give up 35+ shots a night with someone like Gibson.

  18. Now place the coach on waivers. This teamโ€™s defence is brutal. Team often not ready to play. Time for a fresh voice in the locker room, someone with proper systems.

  19. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ goalie emergency in Toronto every fuckin year. Keep laughing at Skinner as a starter toronto maple laughs, heโ€™s a better starter than the leafโ€™s have had in decade. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  20. This is the kind of mess you get when you either refuse to coach or cant get players to play even the most basic form of team defense.
