Leafs Lunch co-hosts Julia Tocheri and Michael Di Stefano chat with TSN Insider Darren Dreger on who the Leafs should start in between the pipes for the Leafs going forward.
Doesn't really matter who is number 1 they both gotta great if not then forget about it Leafs will lose in first round of playoffs again if just one goalie or forward or defenseman falls short, the whole of cards falls down before it even gets onto the ice
Sammy has been playing better overall for the team. If he falters in Game 1, then you can fall back to Murray. If you start Murray in Game 1 and he falters, then going to Sammy puts more pressure on him.
We brought in j.s figuere on his resume as well but he was hot and cold. Murray is the same. Sammy has proven enough to have the team entrust him and he’s the reason the teams in the playoffs by virtue of having played more and won more games. Going with Murray would be an insult. Start Sam and go from there. Leafs have a reputation of doing their goalies dirty.
I think it's easily Samsonov. Just looking at this season. Guess a Stanley Cup a long ass time ago is allowed to be in the convo and not his last few seasons for the professional.
Both are fine, it's the D that's the problem. They did not address the desperate need for it and will find themselves golfing after round one, as is tradition.
how is this even a fucking topic. Sammy is way better. Has way more wins. More calm in the crease. Just a winning goalie, especially in Washington. How the hell is there a debate here???
Samsonov is #1, and he's earned it; Murray is beginning to look like Mrazek, another disaster. His recent game wasn't very good. This "debate" is fairly silly; Murray shouldn't even be #2. Woll can do the backup.
Maybe not this year but next year Gibson or Hellebuyck he will be on last year of 6.1m deal. Scheifele,Dubois,Wheeler,Pionk,Schmidt, Dillion,Stanley,Barron or for free if 34yr old Gagner draws much interest.
Which tender has earned wins for the Buddies??? Woll? Most tenders now are great butterfly ists. Because they have to be. There isn’t a Hall of Famer tender within 500 miles of Toronto. Re: The city, not the team).

Hi
Ilya Samsonov 100%. Healthier, younger and better.
Murray
Samsonov for sure. Not saying that Matt Murray is a bad goaltender
Murray

Both are good when there not on the ir but just go with whoever's hottest going into the playoffs
Sam sonic deserve to be the one. History is past. Now and tomorrow count.

Matt Murray doesn't deserve it. Murray displaced a goalie (Fluery) who won cups lol
Sammy # 35
Who should be the
Leafs #1 Goalie ?
Joseph Woll !
Sami has a weak glove hand .
Murry has a weak
Stick side .
Woll is good on both sides !
DML.
Samsonov is more consistent performance wise and gets injured less than Murray.
Samsonov.
Who cares ? 1st round exit either way 👍
No goalie debate here. Sammy is the #1.

Thatcher Demko that’s who. Make it happen.
Leafs dont have it.

Sammy needs to perform his ass off for a big payday , I’d go with Samsonov and have Murray as a veteran ready to go if I’m wrong
