[David Alter] Sheldon Keefe says Martin Jones will not play tomorrow after playing today. No indiciation from the coach who that will be. “We’ll get through today.”

    I hope it’s Hildeby, I don’t think Sammy is in the best position to have a good result

    Either they don’t want the negative PR that will go around all day if they say their starting Sammy an day in advance

    or

    it’s Hildeby but he’s technically not recalled yet / or want to get people’s hopes up and put pressure on him

  3. This is how I learned we have a back to back this weekend

  4. I feel like its Sammy but they don’t want media talking about it or to him.

  5. GooseRider960

    No point in being coy, I think we all know who’s starting, Keefe.

  6. I get it if they opt to go with Samsonov tomorrow, but it would also be risky to put a mentally fragile goalie up against a strong offensive team for his first game back after over a week away

  7. I honestly think it will be Sammy starting tomorrow

  8. LowHangingLight

    It’s obviously Samsonov. He was the back up last game.

    I fully read that as

    “Sheldon Keefe says Martin Jones will not play tomorrow after playing today. No intoxication from the coach.”

    Hildeby is definitely playing.

    They sent him down to get some reps in for an actual game so he’ll be all warmed up and ready for Sunday.

    I think it’s Sammy, and it seems that Sheldon doesn’t want to say that to maybe avoid a bunch of media noise in the lead up to the game? Considering Sammy’s issues have been mental.

    It’s just to try and protect Sammy/himself from criticism leading up to the game tomorrow. He’s starting Sammy tomorrow. These stupid transparent mind games only work if they’re not transparent and you never know what a coach will do. Keefe is the most predictable guy in hockey, next to Dubas.

    And there is something beautiful about history. It always repeats itself and that’s why the saying exists “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” And make no mistake we’re going to repeat it.

    Keefe never learns.

    We better fucking win tonight because we’re definitely losing tomorrow.

    And 0-2 while Detroit goes 2-0 is the most Leaf thing possible because Keefe decided to play checkers with goalie starts instead of chess. The Detroit game is actually important to our season and this idiot is starting a broken goalie against a division rival we will be competing to make the playoffs against all season.

    Seriously, look at the standings right now. It can become panic time around here real quick over the next 72 hours.

    I’m freaking out. JUST TELL US SHELDON DEAR!!

  14. winkNfart

    how many chances they gonna give this guy?? he’s terrible

  15. Nameless908

    Part of me is thinking they sent Hildeby down to get a start for the marlies so he has some recent game action and so he’s fresh for Sunday. Either way outta my hands and not my job GLG!!!!
