>Sheldon Keefe says TJ Brodie blocked a shot in the last game and is day-to-day and they will make a decision on his status for tomorrow.

>Sheldon Keefe says Ilya Samsonov will get the start against the Islanders tomorrow. Of course with a baby due soon that could change.

>Ilya Samsonov admitted that he’s been dealing with something over the last little while. I’m told it dates back to the game against Seattle when he was a bit slow to get up toward the end of the game. Referred to it as “nothing crazy.”

>Keefe not seeing enough from Nylander right now. « There’s a lot more perimeter, a lot more getting rid of the puck. I want him to hang on to it. I want him to challenge. I want him to be on the attack. I want to see lots of pace. That’s when he’s at his best. »

>Keefe on putting Nylander with Lafferty and McMann: « Playing him more with guys who are going to skate and move their feet, he that he can be the guy that really drives things. That’s really the idea. »

>With the birth of his son coming any day now, Samsonov is keeping even-keel. « I live day by day right now. I just want to focus (on the) game. My wife (Maria), she supports me too. She talks to me, no stress, just to play hockey and we’ll figure it out. »

Why not just rest Sammy if he’s not 100% and they’ve got a baby coming? Keep him home and bring up Woll to get a few starts.
Looking forward to Sammy Smiles Jr leading Canada in goal at the 2046 Winter Olympics. You’re welcome Canada for Toronto bringing him into the country in time for his child to be born here and get citizenship.
Sammy about to go FVV
Sounds like Murr dogs music. There’s no harm in running Murr dog hard this week while Sammy rests up.
Put in Woll. Murray still recovering from 60 shot PTSD
Heard him in his interview the guy is so grateful and excited to be a Leaf. I hope they rest him like crazy before playoffs especially since he’s gotta little one due. It sounded like he WANTS to be playing though, I just hope if he’s injured or sick he just takes the time he needs, Murray and Woll can hold down the fort.
This is up to Keefe and Samsonov, if the injury wont get worse by playing then why does it matter if he plays or not. We arent the medical professionals and you know 100% they were met on this injury.
DADDY GRIN REAPER LETS GO!!!
Just rest the poor fucker, we’ve known were playing tampa for like 2+ months. Just a waiting game at this point
Hard to believe how well the team has done given the injuries. I think we are 3rd in Man Games Missed to Injury (behind CBJ and MTL) and I think no other playoff team is in the top 10. Vegas has about 12th with 2/3 games missed compared to ours and Carolina is about 3 places back of them. Website I saw is a month outdated.
