  1. Most of the time in unintended….so not sure why you folks have your panties in a twist.

  2. As a goalie you are taught to hit your posts hard. It shouldn’t be the leaf’s goalies job to keep the net on there job is to stop pucks

  3. Funny how they try and blame "goalie strength" these days, when it's Toronto goalies who are dislodging nets at a rate astronomically higher than any other team. I guess they REALLY eat their Wheaties in Toronto. 😆

    Or, they purposely dislodge the net because their defense is geriatric garbage, and goaltending, is trash. Ya, I'll take Occam's razor on this one.

  4. It's obviously done on purpose and blaming on the goalies getting bigger is just ridiculous. Toronto is the worse sinners in the league on this, Murray has for sure influenced Samsonov on this unsportsmanlike behavior. Hope the refs starts calling them out for real = minor penalties every time they do it.

  5. craig simpson the hopeless leaf homer described it as samsanov 'catching an edge' when we all saw him lower his shoulder and pushed off into the net. he or any other netminder should be called for what he did. his team was tired and he got a line change from doing it.

  6. Samsonov has done this maybe once all year. This definitely needs its own discussion.

  7. When it's primarily/solely happening to Leaf goalies, I'm highly doubting it's a matter of how "strong" modern goalies are
