Nooooooooooooooo
Interesting 🧐
Oh boy
lord hear our prayer 🙏
Welcome back, Ilya. I’m not sure you’re ready, but I’ll cheer you on all the same.
Ilya « Alek Manoah » Samsonov?
I think this is more of needing Hildeby to play some games and making sure he doesn’t stay rusty than needing Sammy back.
….. What in the world could possibly have changed in this short amount of time? I hope he doesn’t come in, lay 5 goals and absolutely destroy the vibe the team has built while he’s been away.
This is literally the Manoah situation again. How tf can this happen in the city twice in a calendar year?
Last chance time I think
I really don’t understand this one, unless they have zero intention of playing any backup and wanted Hildeby back playing games.
I wish nothing but the best for Sammy, but it’s an odd time to bring back a player who changed the entire dynamic of the team.
I’m guessing this is just so Hildeby can get back to playing.
Honestly I’m suprised they didn’t put him in a Marlies game to evaluate him before bringing back him up.
The team is rolling and you want to bring this guy back into the room? Holy fuck
Don’t want to alarm anyone and he’s not the most reliable source but JD Bunkis said on Leafs Talk last night that he heard rumblings that Sammy might get the Red Wings start on Sunday 🙂
I really hope fans at the game cheer for him the first time he back out there. Dude really needs support right now
I understand this move, it’s clear Jones has the net and is feeling good. I think they are sending the beast down to get some games in the ahl for the next week. They’ll ride jones until their road trip and then bring the beast back up and let him get his first start against Arizona on the first night of the back to back.
That is what I’m hoping for anyways
So we are starting Sammy on Sunday? I don’t like this. I really thought Hildeby would get a start and Sunday seemed like a good time
What was the point then? I know they painted it as a mental rehabilitation but wouldn’t it be worth a rep or two with the Marlies?
So…say he gets one of the back-to-backs this weekend and gets DUNKED on, ***again***. What then?
So what the absolute fuck of a point was all of this?
I think they want Hildeby getting reps in with the Marlies and don’t want him sitting around doing nothing. They know Woll is coming back soon so Sammy might only get 1 more start before then.
People need to relax.
It’s clear the net is Jones. Hildeby needs to play games and hopefully the break has given Samsonov sometime to get his head straight.
People actively rooting for his failure are being super weird.
I can understand giving Hildeby some play time… But why not bring up Pettruzzelli if he’s likely just going to ride pine? Samsonov has been away for like 5 minutes.
It’s wild he never played a single game with the Marlies. What was even the point of sending him down?
The only thing I can think is with Woll being a few weeks away, the Leafs need to figure out what they do, or do not have in Samsonov.
If I’m not mistaken, Jones now needs to clear waivers again, and his play has made that highly unlikely he’ll clear.
Marlies probably need Hildeby more than Leafs need him sitting on the bench. But, with how sensitive Ilya seems, is it going to be the best for his mental state sitting on the Leafs bench watching Jones steal his job?
Either way, this seems weird. I personally think it’d be best for Sammy if he was traded (or even waived) and got to start fresh in a new city without the « Toronto media » pressuring him. He’s a good goalie but the pressure may have broken him.
Far too soon
Woll is probably coming back soon
