Should the Leafs start Ilya Samsonov this weekend?



Toronto’s win streak ended Thursday night in New York, despite another strong game by Martin Jones. What do the Maple Leafs need to do with their current goaltending situation? Jones has started six straight games, but should the recently recalled Ilya Samsonov get a start this weekend? 7-Eleven That’s Hockey host Gino Reda is joined by TSN Hockey’s Mike Johnson to discuss.

  1. Well back to back
    Jones #1
    He is hot and not about to fall on his face
    Can't be on every night
    On enough for a point

  2. I can’t wait to see him let in bad goal after bad goal. How is a week and a half away from the team with going to help him?

  3. It doesn't make sense having him return , he did a skate with marlies and didn't even play and now all of a sudden your bringing him back up it doesn't make sense at all your basically putting him back in net after basically not even playing a game in over 10 days Jesus do we really want to sabotage this team?

  4. Stop treating goalies like we're baseball pitchers. We don't need frequent rests in between starts. These are pro athletes in the best physical condition of their lives. Allow Martin Jones to begin another 'new' winning streak. Enough with trying to save Samsonov's career at the expense of the entire team. Stop making goaltending so unnecessarily complicated!!

  5. Leafs are committed to finish 3rd and lose to Florida in the first round
    They lost 2 to Chicago
    2 to Ottawa
    1 to Buffalo
    10 points given away
    No first place goal
    They will lose in the first round
    If they were serious about winning theyd play the rookie
    But they’re still the loyal to veterans crap
    Boston good goalies
    Florida great goalie and coach
    Leafs terrible coach and samsonov
    In playoffs marner will have no room
    Mathew’s too
    Won’t be able to hold leads
    Gas samsonov and let woll and Jones or rookie do it and use the money elsewhere
    Treliving wasted a whole year keeping a terrible coach with no defensive system could have got laviolette
    What a waste

  6. Samsonov should never start another Leafs game. And I'll say the same thing if they start him and he gets a shut out. He cannot be trusted.

  7. Grant Fuhr played 79 games in 1997. Brodeur played 78 games in '07. Nobody ever said they needed a break. They got better as they went.
