Man, I don’t know that I’ve heard a professional be so frank about something like this before.
As someone with anxiety and depression issues I can imagine the toll this is having on him. People don’t get that “going through a rough spot” can royally fuck a person up physically as well. Your brain goes full fight or flight 24-7 until it crashes and then you pay dearly for it. Like when I have anxiety swings I’ll put on or drop 20lbs in a month. It’s gnarly.
Bright side: we all know Sammy can play. It’s early in the year and Woll is getting ice time. As Sammy rests up it’s looking like we’ll have 2 solid tenders in due time.

Man, what a tough person he is to share these things with everyone. Says a lot about the people around him as well to make him feel comfortable to be open.
We love ya Sammy! Canโt wait to watch him play tonight! I hope he has a good game for himself, his family and his buds!

Players , teams , entire franchises have flops and shitty streaks. We now have 2 good goalies. It’s been a while since I could say that about the leafs tbh.
