Goalies moving around is not a bad thing. If anything shows his athleticism. He's been good this game, one goal from distance when getting screened meh it happens. Hard to predict from there if its gonna go in or not. Nice shot by Montour thats all u get from that.

Again got nothing to do with luck its all him rn and the team in front helping when needed

He's been making the required saves and unless something drastic changes he's the game 1 starter as he's earned it.

I remember watching a couple of young Black Hawk goalies flop around and thought they were useless.
Good thing I am not a goalie scout.
It was Hasek and Belfour.

Yep

Like some goalies use their size only to stop pucks like Bishop and other's are more athletic Hasek

And there's nothing wrong with that as every goalie has their own style

Sammy is a goalie who uses more athleticism and thats fine. You can tell when he's struggling and when he's stable very quickly and so far this game and other since the call back up stable Sammy has returned

Unless something drastically changes he's the game 1 starter

We know what we will get with samsonov. Sometimes he's going to be unreal and then he'll let in a back breaker. Sammy is a less consistent Anderssen when he was a leaf. Was often really solid but the bad goals just kill you. Woll has way more poise and I a much higher ceiling. It's pretty clear by now that Sammy is going to have his bad stretches and they can be extreme. Woll is dialing it in. He's definitely the better goalie and will be long term as well.

They'll split both the rest of the way and I'll be putting my money on the guy who's been better on the season. Sammy cleared waivers, is he mentally strong enough to handle some bad luck in the playoffs? Or when he inevitably lets in just a trash goal? How's he going to handle that?

Freddie consistency was never a good thing as he was to predictable for how his season would go with us time and time again

Slow start till Nov

God from NOV-FEB

Slowed down from MAR to playoffs where then he let us down year after year especially in series clinching games

Sammy's big advantage only goalie to have won TOR a series in the Matthews era vs. a team who went to SCF 3 years in a row and won 2 cups. Not to shabby.

So if anything him being less consistent in that regard be a blessing lul


Also Woll really has not much poise and stuff he's like Sammy. You know right off the bat when he's thriving and struggling. Both have their style of play but u can see what kind of game your gonna get with each of them

As said before Sammy's the game 1 starter unless something drastic changes like he's an 0.850 and a 4.00 his remaining games

He handled it last year

And outdueled Vasi even after some struggles here and there in that series

Rn he's playing well and is the only goalie who has won us a series

So again unless something drastic changes he's the starter would be stupid to do otherwise rn

Man...Nicky Robbie is showing why I'd like to see him under a different coach on this roster.

Yes,he makes mistakes on the defensive side but all young players do. It's not a reason to trade them away.

Jacob Quillan

2 years 875k

22 years old

Plays Center

6'0 196 pounds

This season 39 GP 17 goals and 29 assists for 46 points with Quinnipiac

Nothing wrong with C depth

The thing I like is after the NJ game where Keefe called everyone out we have seen a gigantic turnaround

Tonight everyone has stepped up and is making things very interesting and now's the best time as playoffs aint far away

Sammy is staying stable and making the saves needed

The youngsters are contributing: McMann, Robertson, Knies, Holmberg all have been good

Bertuzzi is red hot rn

Domi has filled in for Marner. Not perfectly but has done a good job

And the PK has been better as of late.

PP still needs work and we need to be healthy but so far so good

When they 100% healthy gonna be very interesting to see what happens

Now I know its 5-1 but FLA always has the chance to come back especially if this team lets its foot off the gas

Refs penalize Benoit but ignore blatant trips against McMann and Holmberg SH

I see yah lul

The kid line reminds is like a double edged sword

Do a lot good but their inexperience at times shows

Second period they were good at both ends

Third period on for 2 goals against with some questionable coverage

They have a bright future but these are factors that will need to be considered when building the playoff lines

Good on Keefe to call a time out

Dam Domi should have did the Marner trick lul

Bait and switch

Keefe why is Reaves out on a 6 on 5?

They're blowing this, aren't they?

I had to rub my eyes a few times but the **** was Keefe doing having Reaves out there on a 6 on 5 ☠

Its like he wanted this to happen lul

Dewar and Kampf were fine but wtf is reaves doing out there lul

Thank **** for Matthews lul

8 away from 70

4 away from passing Ovie's 2008 total

They really wanted to make our hearts race didnt they lul

Thats something they still have trouble with it seems. When the other team starts to gain momentum and they have a big lead they let their foot off the gas to much and we go from 5-1 to 5-4

Team just needs to learn to play a full 60 and they are set for playoffs

As if they play like they did in the second this game they are golden

Absolutely over the moon about the Quillan signing. He's a guy I dearly wanted last season. Such a hard working, tenacious guy (like Tverberg).

On another note, I feel like Steeves won't be playing with the Leafs now that we know what it is this team wants. Very disappointing, but I guess getting Quillan makes up for it.

Honestly yah never know as a good 2024-2025 training camp can change a lot

Steeves is a feisty guy and Brad does love that. Could see him be a rotate guy like Gregor

Like there be so many factors rn such as whose HC 2024-2025 is Keefe gonna survive this playoffs or are we gonna be adding Brid'Amour/Berube

Man I hate to be that guy but kind of wish JT's deal was up this summer so we could bring back Bertuzzi and Domi for 2024-2025

Now of course Playoffs may throw it out the window but dam both have looked good with Matthews and especially Bertuzzi has started to pick it up as of late

Sucks one or both are probs gone in order to divert funds to improve the Dcore

MLSE should buy the Growlers or create an ECHL team and have em share with the Marlies or something

I'm shocked they didn't. Actually I thought we already owned the growlers
