Samsonov and special teams were both horrendous. Not feeling good enough about either going into the playoffs.

Goodbye home ice chance.

 

[LeafsFan89]

It is frightening that Keefe has no idea what the lines are going to be and it's game 79.

 

[Budz]

Sammy was trash.

 

[mikeyz]

Samsonov f***ing sucks

 

[thewave]

Sammy
Keefe

A lot not to like about Keefe special teams

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That was the opposite of what I was hoping to see.

 

[13pacheco31]

Sammy should have been pulled in the third

 

[shaner8989]

Sammy is trash. Not Sammy was trash.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Imagine having a competent powerplay. Penalty kill looked incompetent again after getting on a roll. Samsonov was absolute garbage and defensively this team was a disaster. A real pisser of a game after getting Matthews goals 67 and 68.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Feels like marner, nylander and especially tavares are actively not trying to pass to matthews. Like they want to score themselves.

 

[stakesishigh]

Goaltending will be our undoing

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Lmao at "sloppy defensive effort". f*** off. They allowed 20 shots. Samsonov singlehandedly lost the game for them with a big assist from Keefe for not pulling him. Nothing else needs to be said. Rest of the team deserved better.

 

[Brown Dog]

Edmondson turned pylon at the end there.

 

[wingman75]

Not really concerned about Samsonov. Bit of an odd game. But the defensive play and special teams... hooboy.

If I could, I would bet money the special teams will be the reason this team loses a playoff series. Just pathetic on both sides.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Don't be like that in the playoffs pls

 

[ToneDog]

Home ice all but lost. Panthers with 3 SOs in a row.

 

[Leafidelity]

Matt Murray or Martin Jones?

 

[DarkKnight]

Meh. Nothing game. There is your mulligan Sam.

For me, Keefe trying a loaded up second line is important big picture, love it.

 

[MSZ]

Goaltending will be our undoing

And special teams

 

[thusk]

game to completly forgot for Samsonov, erase it and come back strong

 

[Larcos_Unal]

We ok going into the playoffs with a goalie who is literally bi-polar? Split personality? WTF SAMMY???

 

[BTP]

Sloppy game. Sammy had an off night. good wake up game before playoffs. tighten up

glad we lost

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Upside was top line and Matthews scoring....

Defensive game overall and sammy tonight though.

 

[HolyCrap]

Samsonov and special teams were both horrendous. Not feeling good enough about either going into the playoffs.

Goodbye home ice chance.

Yup. I think along with subpar defence we have way too many holes to really go deep. It will be a big task beating Florida.
