    I know they’re “products” and they’re getting paid to produce, but I really wanted him to get out of the slump. Never good to see, I bet he feels like shit.

    Best of luck to him in the future.

    I mean, he’s just on waivers so he can go down, right?

    It’s not like he’s going to be claimed.

    being placed on waivers is not getting fired guys

    Sometimes life sucks… and it sucks for your life to suck in front of literally, millions of people.

    I hope he bounces back and wins a cup as a backup somewhere or get a renaissance year or something.

    I cannot imagine failing so publicist. Most people can’t handle that pressure.

    I hope Sammy clears waivers and goes to the Marlies and plays lights out.

    I bet you he goes back to Russia and plays in the khl

    Did like that Marner backed him up in the last post game, was a class act

    Hopefully time in the marlies helps Sammy and he doesn’t just pressure himself to make it back to the nhl

    Just take a breather, who knows maybe he’ll be called up to save us in the future

    He’ll be wearing blue on the road with the Marlies, don’t worry

  9. Digimortal46

    He belongs on the Marlies bench. He ain’t playing to NHL standards

    He has given us a huge gift and I hope it isn’t for naught. The gift? An opening to talk about mental health in sport. And therefore in life in general.
    We bury mental health conversations like dogs bury bones.
    Sammy came out and said I’m struggling. I need help. Let’s make sure he gets all the help he needs. Because the alternative isn’t pretty.
    Hockey is may favourite sport by a long shot. Goalies are my favourite players. My love of the sport is Canadian, it’s sitting on my grandpas lap watching the Leafs play. My love of goalies is (I hate to admit) Ken Dryden, Mike Palmateer and many more. These guys carry a massive weight. No single player can win or lose a game. But goalies come closest. A shit game and you bounce back but 3 or 4 or 5. It gets harder and harder. Toronto doesn’t make it easier. The media the fans are brutal on the team, the management and the players. I’m glad to see an outpouring of love for Sammy here.
    Get better Sammy. You are not alone.

  11. Tough position man. Goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs has to be one of the highest pressure jobs in sports.
