  1. Samsonovā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. Is the reason they lost game 7. Where is he when both goals scored?ā€¦ he might as well have been inside the net!ā€¦ I feel sorry for the team he plays for next year?.
    LEAFS?

  2. Every other team would be happy with just allowing one goal in regulation in a game 7. Don't blame sammy for this loss. The whole team is to blame.

  3. I remember watching Marner doing 16 stickhandles through the neutral zone with not a soul on him, taking twice as long and letting bostons defence set up, then passing it for a weak shot on net.

  4. That was a great analysis of the OT goal. So thatā€™s what Keefe meant when he said ā€œbeat themselvesā€ BUT they did it in game 6? And Boston changed their breakouts and Leafs did not adjust? Even with no power play, you could have won. But are you tinkering to get by Boston or to the Stanley cup final? Work on power play. Get better in D zone and Woll is your goalie. Did Keefe say what he did to say ā€œthese guys donā€™t listen?ā€ Or you canā€™t win playing this style?

  5. OMG!!! STEVE!!!!! Finally you said worth listening too…wanting a timeout in that situation was the most intelligent thing to ever come out of your mouth…SERIOUSLY!!! IM SHOCKED šŸ˜² YOU ACTUALLY NAILED IT!!!

  6. Trying to find problems? Start from the top down, start with shanahan. After you address the real problems you can get down to ice level.

  7. Terrible special teams and a lack of pucking moving defencemen. Its never a good sign when Joel Edmondson looks like your best offensive defencemen. Goaltending was fine and so was their play 5 on 5.

  8. The Leaf's have overpriced premodanas that can perform in the playoffs. The D core was nowhere to be found. Yes Sammy let some soft goals in, but he can't score. The 4 core and the coach are to blame.

  9. Yep, Caps fan here. Sometimes Sammy played really well. Then 2 minutes later he was on the ground doing his impression of a breakdancing starfish. I was not sad to see him go.

  10. Sammy wasn't the reason they lost. If the goalie holds it down to 1 goal, it's 100% on the skaters and it doesn't matter what the goal looked like.

  11. Leafs score 1 goal and everyone still blames the goalie. If the leafs capitalize on that 3 on 1 they win the game, but Edmundson of all players was one that got to be the shooter on that playšŸ˜‚

  12. In no way was that Samsanov's fault. He's screened, the shooters on the right side, he has to cover the low post. Your goal scorers need to score. Marner had the passing lane covered.

  13. I was pulling for the leafs in this series and Sammy imshould def be done in Toronto but hes not the reason they lost game 7. No Leaf offense. Lots of chances with not a lot of results.

  14. You cant win 1-0 with that goaltending….woll did it can do it but he got injured

  15. Hello Steve and friends. Iā€™m a usual on your channels and I normally appreciate your conversations. However, I must say you guys are really mean with Sammy and I donā€™t think itā€™s appreciated by many fans. He let in 1 goal in regulation on a game 7. Simply put, he did his job. The guy tries hard and doesnā€™t deserve this criticism for game 7.
    YOURE TREATING HIM LIKE HEā€™S PART OF THE CORE 4.

    Tell you what, you donā€™t score on a power play with Auston Matthews. THEREā€™S YOUR PROBLEM.

    Have a nice day but I think Iā€™m gonna take a break from this negative energy on your channel.

  16. Torontos not built forvthe big leauges. Star players are puss a's. Pathetic. Always fun to watch as an Oilers fan though. Hop on the band wagon you bums.

  17. Steve on behalf of the rational Bruins fans sorry you had to deal with those nuts. Equal parts passionate and stupid.

  18. These recent Leafs teams remind me of all early 2000s rangers teams where they bought every big name they could just to quickly get destroyed in the first or second round year after year… Its just not the way to build a contender! Their has been little to no continuity on the bottom 6!

  19. The whole series comes down to one deciding factor. The power play. Two or three timely PP goals and Leafs are playing Florida.

  20. They might have something with Woll, silver lining. Get rid of Samsonov, get some defense maybe

  21. So many tears: the refs, Sammy, the crowd, blah, blah, blah, how awful the Bruins were… You lost ANOTHER series and ANOTHER Game 7. Stop talking snot about the winner and focus on YOUR problems because… YOU got beaten AGAIN! Half a century now, and more. Look in the MIRROR and shadd up!!

  22. 1 for 21 on the powerplay, 40 million dollar core that disappears and they're blaming the 3.5 million dollar goaltender………..šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
    Samsonov played exactly as well as a 3.5 million dollar goalie should.
    You want Vasilevsky or Bobrovsky caliber playoff goaltending?…………..WELL YOU GOTTA PAY THEM!
    9.5 million for Vasilevsky , 10 million for Bobrovsky.
    Oh that's right the Leafs don't have that kind of money, cause they invested it into scoring BUT CAN'T SCORE.
    Swayman makes 3.475 but his contract is up, does anyone think his next contract will be 3.475?

  23. How delusional of a fanbase do you have to be to blame your goalie when you have 4 forwards signed to 40 million and you score one goal šŸ’€šŸ’€ Cant wait for Samsonov to win a series against you guys next year rofl

  24. This is why home ice advantage is so important. Lindholm probably shot that puck hundreds of times, figuring out how the puck would bounce. If the game was in Toronto he would never have had the chance to figure it out. It's a beautiful set play that a visiting team would probably not be able to execute.

  25. What happened is the organization paid 4 players who canā€™t score in the playoffs half the cap.

  26. Any goaltender who lets in 1 goal in 60 minutes of hockey did his job. An average GAA is around 3 most of the time. He let in 1 goal. I don't care what the goal looked like, Sammy did his job.

    Look at your offense. That's where the problem was.
