Sheldon Keefe, when asked why Ilya Samsonov wasn’t made available to the media after a 36-save victory last night: “Have you been talking to Vasilevskiy at all in this series? Let him play goal.”

I would’ve also accepted: “because fuck you that’s why.”
Sammy just wanted to have some smile.
He may also have shit his pants during that game and rightfully so. I wouldn’t wanna talk to the media with shit in my pants.
Keefe is on FIRE
I wonder if there was something holding back Sammy in Washington or if the change of scenery was what he needed. Caps fans said he would be great for stretches and terrible for others. But this season he’s been great pretty much throughout and only had bad games sprinkled in. He’s been amazing at bouncing back from rough games. What a steal he is. Can’t believe Washington didnt even qualify him.
I love that Keefe and Dubas are so spicy right now. Everybody is pissed off.
Fucking BINGO. Don’t let the media circus that follows this team get in their head. The 2 reporters that follow around the lightning certainly aren’t pressing any of the lightning players.
Its about time Leafs started accepted that everyone , the league the media and everyone outside this fanbase fuckin hates us…. and we dont owe em shit. Who cares if they react extremely to shit Leafs do thay doesnt register when others do.. its gonna keepnhappening. Fuck em. Fuck everyone. Just win. Media can suck a dick
Yes!
Between the manipulating the refs tweet, and this, I’m not liking Chris Johnston’s reporting right now.
Keefe bringing the PASSION.
Keefe is on a roll 😂
Good fucking answer
Keefe got into Dubas’ stash.
I love this and I think it’s exactly what Samsonov needs. Don’t put him through the BS our media will ask him and let him keep his head in the game without worrying about answering to reporters after.
I honestly think the crazy media expectations of the Leafs play a major role in our inconsistency issues. I know that I would absolutely hate doing interviews if I was a Leaf and it seems like the media just expects too much, especially in the playoffs. I’d be happy to not hear from anyone but Keefe from here on our it it meant they could focus and crush TB.
I’m excited for Overdrive tomorrow for what those guys say about Keefe in the media this weekend.
