Its totally unsustainable and the Leafs have fixed none of their issues. Their feast or famine goalie continues to be streaky which will only end in more misery for Leaf fans.
That wasn't a 2 on 0. It was a 2 on SAMMY!!!!! So glad he's had a few good starts in a row. Every Leafs fan I've heard from loves Sammy but also knew he was struggling. You're only as good as your last game but so far his performances have been promising.
It’s gonna be crazy when Winnipeg is relocated before Arizona. Salt Lake City, Green Bay and Hartford are all deserving….especially when Winnipeg can’t sell out their 15,000 seat arena.
HAVE SOME SMILE SAMMY LETS GOOOO
it's one game but it's toronto so i guess the cup parade is back on lol leafs and their fans are hockeys version of the dallas cowboys
embarrassing effort in front of Sammy for nearly two full periods, and he winds up proving to the world whatever was impinging on his mental state then, is being held at bay now in tremendous fashion. My favor of Keefe has been on the downward slide lately, and i think getting outshot 20-6 at nearly the halfway point in a game doesn't help, but giving shit to the top guys & benching them leading to Nic Robertson showing out in OT was good
Also just wanna point out (thanks to Steve Dangle) that Bertuzzi's got six goals in 707 minutes TOI, Knies has eight in 627 TOI, Domi has four in 592 TOI, and my man Nic Robertson has seven in 307 TOI. I'm not saying his game is perfect, and that he needs 22:00 a game…… but them numbers speak volumes, in my opinion
Papi is hittin 70+ this year.
Not to excuse Marner and Matthews for that brutal change, but Nylander was tripped on that play and most likely would have got that puck first before the Jets player.
Samsonov will wilt up like a true Maple Leaf
Sammy's reaction to the crowd chanting his name makes me think of Trea Turner with the Phillies in MLB where the fans decided to support a struggling star instead of booing him and it turned the player's (and the team's) season around
Granted Samsonov battled back on his own before the fans got behind him, but hopefully this sort of thing will give him the boost to stay there
Samsonov is the reason the Leafs won that game. They played like crap the majority of the game.
The post game was the best. Sammy got the belt last game, and tried to give it to Matthews, who said "nope, this one is all you. You kept us in it when we shouldn't have been."
I don't think I've ever been more happy to see a goalie get a shutout. Great job, Sammy.
Sammy was amazing so was Nic
It's so satisfying to see Samsonov sorted. Happy for him and Leafs fans.

I can see the headlines now: TOP LINE LEAFS GOALIE TO FEND FOR HIMSELF
SAMMY IS BACK PLAN THE PARADE
In B4 he has a bad game and people call for him to be traded again.
Can he do it again Saturday against the same Jets team on the road?
I hope he is back but what will be interesting is how he bounces back from one bad game when it happens.
What caught my eye was how calm Sammy looked. Yeah the play was fumbled but usually you see goaltenders trying to prepare themselves to go to one side or the other. Sammy didn't. It was just a waiting game until he got the first save. He then gets back up and prepares for the next save. I want to say that that he's back but only time will tell.
Holy, first time I noticed Timmons float back like that, brutal #BRAD!!!!!
It's 1 game, pump the breaks.
I think the biggest reason for Sammy being so solid in this game mainly due to the game before. The low-event, low shot game in Seattle set the stage for the Winnipeg and getting your groove back. As a goalie who tends to run hot and cold like Sammy I find those 'easier' games like Toronto had in Seattle can really help settle you down – You don't need feel like you need to win it for your team with 100 saves or watch your team throwing a 100 shots on the goalie at the other end only to have a odd-man rush coming at you and you're quickly down and take the wind of your teams sails. Seattle was the perfect game for Sammy to re-set. Winnipeg was a HUGE game for him… but the next 1 will be important too… to see if he can build some momentum and round into form.
The leafs forwards have been so frustrating. The goal scorers don’t seem to care enough about the team to step up and defend when they need to.
I'm not a Leafs fan, but Samsonov was 10 ft tall during that game, and the Leafs are lucky he was… because everyone else (bar Robertson) was awful. I was out of my chair, cheering, on the 2-on-goalie triple save.
I really hope he keeps it up. Last season he was pretty good, but when this season started… he was awful, no way around that.
The Samsonov I have seen in these last couple of starts is the one Leafs fans had started to believe in last year. If he can keep these performances a bit more consistent (and if the team on front of him plays better, because holy shit the Leafs were all over the place), he has a ton of promise.
Sammy earned that shutout!
So glad to see that the rest of the team showed up for their goalie and actually get the win.
Can’t believe Matthews and Marner just abandoned Sammy like that. Selfish BS. Glad Keefe actually showed some balls and ripped them a new manhole for it.
This has to be the save of the year and it's only January!
Not only this game, I have seen more and since he has came back, he is just solid. VERY impressive to do that under so much preasure and with such history behind him this season. Very very good job, Samsonov
FALSEEE, Matthews was already on the bench you cant blame matthews, marner and timmins who went too low and didnt read the lost possession screwed us there, matthews was at the bench before it left the zone.??? can anyone please use YOUR EYES.
It was hilarious, 2-man rush against the Leafs not shorthanded or even-strength but on the POWERPLAY? How does that happen? So Leafy. LOL. (Still love this team haha.)
