Sammy deserved that belt
Sammy stole the game, EOS!
Ilya Samsonov is absolutely the biggest turn around for the Leafs this season, possibly in the entire NHL. Dude was this close to ending up in the Florida Complex League catching Alek Manoah's side sessions
Refs handing out misconducts to 10 players is bush league crap. To lazy to be bothered writing up individual penalties. They acted like it was some sort of old school bench clearing brawl. There wasn't even a fight. Complaining about officiating isn't a good look but that was garbage
Steve, the name of the arena is Scotiabank Arena 😉
Embarrassing…is that non contact?
Giving Auston a 10 minute misconduct on such an historic night was a complete miscarriage of justice. It meant he couldn’t celebrate the victory on the ice, and robbed the Leaf fans of a chance to celebrate his milestone in the arena. Very shitty optics, and he did nothing to deserve the misconduct. Just more crap from the Referees.
Add to that the insult of not giving Dahlin a 5 minute major, a 2 minute penalty and a game misconduct.
We can only enjoy the fact that that cheap-shot shit-head will be watching the playoffs on TV and not playing in them.
Great LFR Steve!!
I told people Sammy just needed some time and they didn't believe me. Saying he was another Jack Campbell. I knew Samsonov was going to come back stronger than ever. I admire his character
Imagine Scotiabank Centre with that atmosphere? Crowd was half the entertainment
No crying about back to back ?
Oh wait it was Buffalo who played back to back..
A Leafs win in Buffalo is as rare as a hen's tooth. And what a win it was!
Sammy!
😂😂😂😂 the name of the arenaaaaaaaaa 😂😂😂😂😂 key bank arena? Or I’m going insane???
I am firmly convinced if the Sabres started every game with a 60 minute power play they would have a worse record this season.
Sammy all the way, that dude was absolutely stellar!
That was Matthew's best goal. He got in front of the crease and will the puck in. I hope he plays like this in the post season. Bobby McMann played lights out. That guy is only going to get better.
In my hockey pool I get 3 points for every minute my man AM34 goes to the box.
The next 10 games is going to decide if the Leafs make the playoffs .
They olay rhe panters 2x, they play the bruinns 2x they play tampa they play back back to back games !
What a great hockey game, there was suspense with the close game. A leafs record in the making, Sammy getting the shutout. And to top it off a there was hockey game that broke out of a fight at the end
It's two different shows. The ones where we win are best.
Austin gets 60. How many leafs do that?
Steve find out about Tim Horton and the OPP Did they high speed chase him to death? Not pointing any fingers just worried about Willie and Austin and Mitch especially.
Spike™
Best Leaf merits the best super fan, Steven.
Nice to see Auston score 60 in front of a packed Leafs barn
PARADE IS BACK ON BABY
All I can think is we have 2 banger goalies for playoffs now.
Is the longest-ever LFR not from a playoff game? My attention started to fade.
He had the time put his contacts from his old phone onto his new phone before shooting….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sammys so hard on himself he thinks he gave up all 9 goals to buffalo last time lol
Auston Matthews breaks his back for months to score 60:
Leefs fans: ok oston
Backup goalie plays ok:
Leefs fans: 👁👄👁
Golaie hierachy:
1. Sammy – YOUR STARTER
2. Jones
3. Woll
I would sparingly play Sammy going down the strech. I would play Woll and Jones and Sammy 33% respectively. That way all 3 are not rusty and Sammy is rested going into Round 2. He is the guy. We are so lucky to have 3 goalies all of them good, but Sammy is the best today.
Samsonov was on fire 🔥🔥🔥
For all the crap I give 78.. he’s played well the past couple games. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want 20 back in the line up against Florida . I miss marner! Our pp stinks
Shut out Sammy! Saves the day!
You are underestimating Holmberg. He is a quality center
I can't put my finger on why, but Sammy's reminding me a lot of Cujo in there lately.
Amazing! The Leafs win and gain ground on….absolutely NOBODY! Boston won, Florida won, the NY Rangers won, and Carolina Won…all the teams the Leafs are chasing. Additionally the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team CHASING the Leafs won. In fact every team except Boston won by 3 goals, so they really didn't even gain any tie breaker deciders either! Similarly, the fringe teams are barely holding a spot or just outside of the playoff hunt, all seemed to lose. Washington, Pitt, & Detroit each managed to pick up a point losing in OT or a shootout, but the Islanders, Philly, Buffalo, Montreal, & New Jersey all lost in regulation. Coming into the season, we all knew that Florida, Toronto, Boston and Tampa would all be the LIKELY playoff teams from the division, and that really isn't in question at this point. The thing we didn't know would be in what order they would finish, and that's still up in the air. In the Metro, The Rangers & Carolina were locks, and NJ seemingly had a spot wrapped up, and we'd LIKELY see the Caps, Isles and Pitt fighting for the 4 spot, but as it is, Philly has passed all of them & has a comfy lead. Gonna be an interesting stretch run for teh metro, but in our division, just jockeying for a shot at home ice.
The Best part of that game was how the Leafs didn’t back down. At this point in the season its how they play, not the score
