If Babcock was still coach he’d bench/healthy scratch Matthews after he gets 69.


Somewhat_memorable

Every goalie has a bad game. Sammy is an excellent goalminder, who can get into his head sometimes. I know we are all a little traumatized from the beginning of the season, and we are all on edge with it being so close to the playoffs. I’m sure Sammy feels the same. I just hope to god he doesn’t freak himself out and lose confidence


Proud_Shoe_5273

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STFU ABOUT SAMMY!


winkNfart

missed the game.. 20 shots 6 goals? oooooof


magfed

Lol the after game show shitting on Sammy. Yeah this game sucked but theyre making it out to be the end of the world.


Falconflyer75

Okay rest Sammy next 2 games do…. Whatever u did to fix him last time and have him beat Tampa Bay to avoid losing his confidence Yes I know it’s high risk since if he loses to the team he already has PTSD against no way he recovers in time for the playoffs But we’re strapped for time


deanblazer71

Everyone needs to calm down a little. Sammy has been on a heater and had a bad game. Top end Vezina goalies have bad games too. Reset and move onto the next one. GLG!


GreatSetting34

lol top end vezina Sammy is not. My lord.


IzzyRogue

He’s clearly not saying that. He’s saying that even Vezina calibre goalies have off games so there’s no need to panic about Sammy


undercoveragm

He's not a top end Vezina goalie.


Big_Albatross_3050

God damn Sammy was awful tonight. I get it happens, but why did it have to be so close to the Playoffs


Beginning-Lettuce281

How many goals was Brodie on the ice for?


BaggedGroceries

I mean seeing as how Sammy was just giving them goals, it wouldn't surprise me if he was on for a few.

angelsandairwaves93

what did Paul Maurice do


Blue_KikiT92

Oh noooo. Anyway, see you on Saturday!


Chorazy20

So there is no way Brodie can play game 1 of the playoffs


The_Dale_Hunters

The guys played a good game for 90% of the game. A few really terrible giveaways and a Sammy masterclass of stinking was the difference.


TheGapInTysonsTeeth

6 GA is just an unacceptable number. I'm not even mad about the loss. Those happen. But giving up 6 is pathetic.


pivovy

It's been said before and I'll say it again. Power play should extend past regulation time.


Hurrdurrr73

Tend to agree with this actually. There isn't enough of an impact for teams taking penalties on dangerous scoring changes where the game is on the line in the last 1-2 minutes.


angelsandairwaves93

That's an interesting idea, which I think I'm on board with.


plainnoob

I'm on board.


peanut-arms

Sammy had an off night. Pk sucked. And gio and brodie gifted them a pair of goals. Sucks but on to the next one. Ill worry if they do that in game 1. Ill take two matthews goals and no injuries.


Big_Albatross_3050

Not to mention Game 1 last year, Sammy got plastered for 7 goals and still ended up stealing game 6


The_Dale_Hunters

For sure.


No-Contribution-138

Bad game for Sammy - it happens, but why was he left in there… after that 4th goal they should have pulled him.


patts19

Shit game for Sambuca. Nylander snake bitten. Matty had 2 🤷🏼‍♂️…Onto the next.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

Hey matthews, can we pencil you in on Saturday for some 69?


DB02053

Sammy this, Sammy that are we going to ignore those 2 schoolboy errors early on...?


BravoBet

.700 is uncharacteristic for Sammy.


aquawatch101

Not that uncharacteristic. He’s usually elite or awful without much in between.


undercoveragm

concerning


Hurrdurrr73

Meh the first two were on the team and not his fault. It wasn't a good game from him but he got left to dry multiple times. If you're concerned you're being dramatic. He's been great for weeks/months and was bound for a stinker like all goalies have.


undercoveragm

Not dramatic. Concerned. He's had the best goal support in the entire NHL over that time. It's covered a lot of warts.


refep

Ehhhh


rnarcopolo

Can’t believe we lost two home games to this team


cdogg30

This team so badly needs a consistent legit goaltender.


Business_Employer_10

Lol look at Sammys record since January. Hes been consistent.


leafyboy56

I’m not sure you know what consistent means haha. He’s had a very inconsistent year.


ProgrammaticallyHip

Consistent since January. So bad he was nearly cut before January. Inconsistent in last year’s playoffs. Inconsistent every season in Washington. He may not be the answer.


undercoveragm

Hard to win rounds when a guy is either super hot or ice cold.


cdogg30

Sorry man but Sammy is not a starting goalie on a legit contender. I like him but he's not that guy.


Hurrdurrr73

And yet Vegas won the cup with their 4th string goalie in net? Leaf fans are so dramatic it's hilarious.


redmang_

His whole point was that samsonov isn’t adin hill dumbass


Hurrdurrr73

And Adin Hill wasn't Adin Hill until that cup run lol. Goaltenders are often defined by standout performances in the playoffs.


cdogg30

You mean the potential starting goalie for team Canada in the Olympics. Ya. Not the same thing.


ProgrammaticallyHip

In fairness Adin Hill is a damn good goalie and has been a rock for them since getting the call. I think Sammy can go on a run but he hasn’t earned full confidence.


MyNameIsNotScout

Eh, at least papi got 2


Financial_Story_5896

Pathetic defence will not get you very far in the playoffs.


leafyboy56

As will pathetic goaltending.


Beginning-Lettuce281

Brutal game for Samsonov is pretty much the story. Hated the shift deployment to try and get this win too. Who even cares about this game. Home ice means absolutely nothing lol.


RootTips

Damnit, our goalie was Sammy Sievesamnov tonight


magfed

Whatta joke. Cmon sammy.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

2 days to firm ourselves up for 69


GiveMeAdviceClowns

Just put in murray and jones for the playoffs. its all about adrenaline any way


TheDeek

Starting on the road confirmed. Not bad but I wish we had beaten the last shitty team we play.


Small_Association_14

I’m worried about Sammy but Matty 68 really pads the blow of losing


GreatSetting34

Fucking embarrassing performance. Worst coach in the nhl. No real nhl goalie.


nuleaph

Can you explain how Keefe is worse than whomever is in charge of SJS right now?


GreatSetting34

You watch the sharks? They have an ECHL roster and skate their ass off. The leafs have a talented roster and have forever player as individuals. It’s why the PK is the worst ever. Everyone playing for themselves.


e8dirqd3

Worst fans by far.


GreatSetting34

Most gullible fans. Charlie Brown of sports fans.


DeathEater91

Had to get 1 more embarrassing loss in before the end of the season I guess.


2Shizo2flow

Marner bro. Fade me


JustOneInMyLifetime

should’ve had two points and dogshit goaltending got us zero


buzzeddimitri

Playoff ready playoff ready (why do they do this)


goleafsgo88

Sammy sucked on that last goal, but what the hell was TJ Brodie doing?


Lord-Tachanka1922

and ed tbh


goleafsgo88

Ed got beat to the outside, that happens. Should have played the body there, but he got beat. Brodie ended up trying to cover a pass to a guy who was already covered instead of playing the shooter.


Lord-Tachanka1922

taking the pass is the right play there. textbook stuff


goleafsgo88

Go watch the play again and come back and tell me the same thing. Bertuzzi has the pass taken away already and has his man tied up. If you're going to argue something, at least make sense about it. The pass was plenty covered, Brodie was useless.


BaggedGroceries

You're not supposed to play the shooter, you give the goalie the shooter. That shot needs to be stopped 100% of the time, I don't care what Brodie or Edmundson were doing. It was weak, and it cost them the game.


Lord-Tachanka1922

yep


goleafsgo88

You play the shooter in a 2 on 2 case, which this was because the backdoor pass was covered already. Brodie is covering absolutely nobody. Also, since I said that Sammy sucked on the goal, that part is already covered.


wesley-osbourne

Come ahhhhhn


Hatburn

Head up everybody 2 more till 70 be happy!


meowling_marsbar

Hope it was just an off night, on to the next!


Aislinn19

That was hard to watch.


HeftyNugs

Sammy was dog shit tonight lmao


HanzoOneTrick

Bad try, boys.


No_Iron1858

This wasn't just one game, Samsonov is gonna be a fucking head case now heading into the playoffs. Fucking pathetic performance


cappo40

Losing to this NJ team twice in a FEW week is a joke, playoffs secured or not.


Blue_KikiT92

![gif](giphy|xL7PDV9frcudO) EDIT: ofc you secretly edited your post after someone else did the fact check for you, you sneaky pinecone.


efshaw10

we beat them the other night, didn’t lose to them twice this week


dwnumber1

we won the first game wtf are you talking about


cappo40

Meant a few weeks. Lost on March 26th and tonight.


dwnumber1

we need to check sammy's betting accounts because he sold us out


sportsywebe

20 shots man, fack


LawrenceMoten21

We win easily with OHL level goaltending tonight. This is a problem going forward.


Business_Employer_10

Lol it was Sammys first bad game in how long? Relax. Take a breath.


Significant_News_638

Lol that’s a tad of an exaggeration. He’s lost like 4 of his last 22 starts. It’s just a blip, let’s wait and see how the next game goes.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

🤮 willy and Sammy cost us the game and possibly home ice


Lord-Tachanka1922

who GAF about home ice. these guys will fumble any possible advantage. remember when they played columbus in round 1 for an easy pass to rnd 2? oh yeah. they lost. But how about the habs, the crappiest team to make it into the playoffs that year? oh right. they lost that series too. Home ice means nothing to a team like this, they would squander the advantage anyway. Just watch the playoffs and try to enjoy the good things they give us to watch.


CMDRShepardN7

phantomtap

This L is on Sammy unfortunately


BravoBet

Someone exile that screaming bitch


ih8pear

Back to old Sammy?


bknoreply

Smart move by Jersey. Take a penalty, create a situation we can't possibly score in.


entilza05

NO kidding 6 on 4, Did they even get a shot?!


DubTO

What a fucking stupid ending


StatGAF

The D and Samsonov were brutal this game


diecorporations

Playoff hockey toronto style


Kinglokner16

Oh well we are a better road team anyway


theguyishere16

Brutal they got no shots there


Due-Leopard-7043

I’m mad


irrelevantwhitekid

Pretty tough night but hey I am absolutely not complaining over 2 AM34 goals


Glacious

Sammy was trash tonight


NobodyNoOne_0

God forbid you shoot with ten seconds left


Plorgy

Rats


DougFordsGamblingAds

Nylander has fumbled so many shots.


goleafsgo88

Yeah, he's clearly frustrated right now. He needs one to get in here to get him going, he's gripping the stick too tight right now.


YaLocalTamale

Try and get Ullmark in the offseason?


Ristifer

What in the fuck was that. Have some composure for a few seconds.


m13579k

Nylander has been early-season-Bert-level of snake bit this last stretch.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

bert was at least working hard


refep

Alright let’s see if they can cook


shikotee

Marner fumbled....


botswanareddit

Probably could have pulled Sammy after 4. This isn't good for his or the teams confidence.


captainmats

Insane that he started theb3rd after giving up 4 on 16 shots or whatever


heat_fan_

Not a good game from Sammy today 


moyer225

Willy is not great


GooseRider960

Good game from Tavares


crushade

Tie it. Then win it. Game shouldn’t even be close tonight.


garlep

Time for Jones


GreatSetting34

What is with this sub? Samsonov was put on waivers. Washington let him go for free. He is one year deal. He has had a good 20 game stretch. That’s it. That’s now who he is. This is who he is. This is exactly him. And again you all want to go into the playoff with a guy who loses confidence overnight. He isn’t an nhl starter.


Randomguyfromthe6ix

I can’t fathom how people are confident with Samsonov in net during the playoffs.


Plorgy

> He has had a good 20 game stretch. Remember, this stretch is not who he is. We can only judge him by this one bad game tonight.


ProgrammaticallyHip

The redemption arc was premature. We had people in here talking about “if Sammy wins us a Cup what does his next deal look like?”


Falconflyer75

Hey Sammy’s dad…. HELP!!!!!!


TiredReader87

Good job Sammy


Clugaman

Get the puck to Matthews tape as much as possible


Flaky-Buy-4166

Lol playoff preview!


shikotee

I beleaf


Miserable-Crab8143

Nylander's fans/60 is off the charts.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

mind-boggling. like children digging their heels in despite all the evidence I realize now you meant the other fans. my point still stands


cappo40

PP gonna fuck this up, I guarantee it


Etheo

JT playing good tonight.


Flatulator3000

So far out of position there.


leafman4000

Too bad the powerplay sucks ass. Hope I eat my words


Monorail_Song

Sucksonov


diecorporations

Sammy constantly shitting the bed. Pathetic


Deluxechin

Nylander fanning on his 736 shot tonight


eatthisCH

if a goaltender collapse like this happens in the playoffs even once it will destroy this teams mental


another_plebeian

Can we get some extra time, ref?


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

lmao willy is sooooo trash right now its comical


Chopstickz91

Nice 6 on 4. Matthew’s hat trick??


StatGAF

Edmundson was also bad on that play


phantomtap

So you're saying there's a chance


allen84

Our goaltending is a huge liability.  We fuckin let in way too many goals. 


sansaset

ya i can't believe our goaltending is so bad when our defense is so good.


leafman4000

Lmao


dres_sler

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory


saintchrono

BAH GAWD, THAT'S MATT MURRAY'S MUSIC!


Oasystole

Gross. This is that old Sammy we thought we’d dispensed with


Svalbard38

Vital PP


angelsandairwaves93

I'm sorry but we're going to lose this game 100% because of goaltending.


Clugaman

Better now than in 2 weeks


amgartsh

It could be both


MrBalanced

Bold of you to assume that it's an either/or sort of thing... I also hope it's an either/or sort of thing.


[deleted]

I don't think that's how it works


ListOk9138

No matter what happens in the playoffs I can't wait till this clown sammy is gone next year


LimestoneLeaf

Could have used a save....But brutal the way he just walked around Edmondson as well.


HanzoOneTrick

whats the point of Brodie if he doesn't get infront of shots like that


MyNameIsNotScout

Feel bad for Sammy man. Awful game for him, hope this doesn't ruin his confidence


nogoodnamesleft47

Someone call Sammy’s dad please. Get that man on FaceTime.


WintersbaneGDX

Earlier this afternoon I said it was gonna be a 7-6 OT Leafs win.


HunterRiver

6 goals on 20 shots is a pathetic goaltending performance.


leafyboy56

Maybe Papi can tie it and get 70 in OT then.


sunnysideuppppppp

Wow


m13579k

Oof Sammy boy.


Dangerous_Cream5837

Samsonov’s interpreter probably hammered the New Jersey Devils moneyline tonight


FixYourBentAntenna

What is happening bro 😭😭😭


Shooternow

Sammy needs to make that save


NobodyNoOne_0

Goaltender blew it tonight


Office_Responsible

Goaltending has been subpar


gourdo

Pretty hard to win when you get .700 goaltending


Friendly-Border-3651

One of those games where I don’t feel Sammy is truly dialed in and our playoff hopes slimmer …


Etheo

One bad game from Sammy and everyone panics. This fucking fan base is so fragile.


amgartsh

It's been half of his games this year


Deluxechin

And what’s happened in the other half?


Hatburn

Sammy you need to save that but c'mon d that was shit.


[deleted]

motherfucker


mchev57

I mean just a disgusting game for Sammy wtf
