3 goals a game isn't a winning goalie. And he will allow that. Sometimes less and sometimes more but he will average 3 a game. He's not good enough.
Not scoring more than 2 goals a game 9 of 10 playoff games is the bigger concern and makes the situation worse
Again were focusing on the wrong area lul
If TOR's special teams were going TOR wins game 3 easily even if Sammy allowed 3 no questions asked. Sadly this team goes from second best in offense to Sahara desert when it matters. BOS gifted us 5 PP's and we went zilch on all of them. That sums it up best.
Im more concerned for a 1/11 PP and a 50% PK then for a goalie whose put up a 0.932 game 2 and a 0.910 game 3. Game 1 was an issue but when your getting better than league avg goaltending that gives you a good shot to win.
How about this team specifically the big boyz start putting pucks in the back of the net. So far between the 3 of them (Matthews, Marner, JT) its 5 points and 2 goals. I dont care for luck, posts, Swayman, etc. Those 3 are making over 30m combined. When TOR offense flows through these guys when they aint getting it done problem's on full display rn. If this team was getting 4 or 5 goals a game these playoffs but were losing would agree goaltending's the issue but TOR so far has scored 1 goal game 1, 3 game 2 and 2 game 3. Sammy in game 1 meh but game 2 and 3 played well enough for them to win if they were properly playing and in game 2 we got it, 3 nope. They are not built for these low scoring slug fests. They are playing playoff hockey physically yes, but are also shooting themselves in the foot with both how they are built and playing special team wise.
In the end no matter whose in net your not winning if your team is not scoring
Woll, Sammy, Jones, etc dont matter if your offense and or defense aint getting it done
And for those who go oh Swayman's good....TOR dont have insane firepower including a man with 69 goals. Its time to show up in more than just one game and put pucks not just past Ullmark. We have to score goals its as simple as that
Side note: ****ing Hunter strikes again just had to draft Scott over Swayman despite multiple interviews with the kid lul
