Sounds like Samsonov is starting. This seems odd. TB has the sharp shooters and CLB does not. Sammy is going to be tested tonight to say the least. I’m confused on this decision by Todd.

Gotta see what the rook can do against good offenses at some point.

I’ll be in the house for the game tonight so I’m looking forward to seeing him play in person.

Good points by both of you. Planning on great team defense to support solid play by Sammy. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Walrus play though.

Hopefully your boys go into their cave and escape injury free and victorious:

I'm wondering how they will view Samsonov down the road if he gives up 10 tonight..

Carly has as many Assists and lasts years MVP has points

Holtby played in 24 games including his disaster vs Colorado and allowed 66 goals in these games. The 24 opposing teams scored 2385 goals in 773 games this season = 74.161 goals per 24 games.
Samsonov played in 10 games and allowed 24 goals in these games. The 10 opposing teams scored 952 goals in 326 games this season = 29.257 goals per 10 games.

II

Holtby allowed 0.34 less goals per game than League average.
Samsonov allowed 0.53 less goals per game than League average.

III

Samsonov is better than Holtby and Todd is 100% smart to play him vs better scoring teams.

 

[Corby78]

Well I guess that’s one theory

Good.

If they give up 10 then isn't it more likely that Samsonov gives up the first 3-4 and Holtby the rest?

We aren't the Habs. We don't leave our goalie hang out to dry when he's given up 8 goals in a game.

There's a possibility that Reirden would like to torture him for whole 60 minutes just to get some experience.

No there isn't.

 

[Melkor]

No there isn't.

You can't be sure about that.

 

[trick9]

You can't be sure about that.

Why not?

 

[Melkor]

Why not?

Because only Reirden knows for sure.

 

[kicksavedave]

Because only Reirden knows for sure.

If I follow this, we can't know that Reirden doesn't want to torture Sammy, only Reirden can know this for sure... is that your position?

Relax, I was just f***ing around.

 

[kicksavedave]

Relax, I was just ****ing around.

Ahh, well I am now relaxed.

 

[Silky mitts]

In order to disprove this I looked at who has played when Lewington has been in, and Samsonov played the last 4 games when 78 got a sweater (once was in relief)

 

[Sam Spade]

Hagelin clearly unaware he stinks.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

The boys are going to make Sammy work for it tonight

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Nice Christmas gift goal Tampa, we appreciate it.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Nicky!
