Man go have 2 slices of pizza up 4-2 and come back and it's tied. Treliving needs to make a trade plain and simple. Honestly the way this sh*t show goaltending is going we aren't going to have to worry about a first round exit.
Yeah but...that last goal, all 3 Leafs went behind the net against 1 Columbus player and NO ONE covered in front. And one was a great screen/tip on a PP.

For who? A goaltender? Name some that we could actually acquire. Leafs have little draft capital or prospects that move the needle.

Never should have signed him but he looks totally out of sorts worse than last year. I'm sure there's somebody out there that can give you some decent net minding. Can't go into games with him between the pipes having to score 5,6 or more. Brutal. I don't want Tre to panic Dubas already left this team thin with drafts whatever but I've seen enough. For a Cup favourite we might be battling just to make the playoffs.

That's not on Sammy...3 guys behind the net.

Not "on" him but sometimes you need a save.
True but Rielly coughed the puck up and Brodie was behind the net along with Domi leaving the man alone in front. Guarantee Keefe will be more pissed at that then Sammy there.

Yes. But would still like one extra save when the skaters go brain dead for a second.
I totally get that, but this has been an issue all year. That shit has to stop.
 
Skaters make mistakes and have breakdowns; with 5 people trying to play in concert against 5 others trying to mess them up, it?s inevitable. Goalie has to goalie. If the goalie needs sheltering, he shouldn?t be goalieing.

Samsonov sat through an arbitration to start the season, plus a newborn late last season. It?s uphill sledding up a lube luge.

Even playing road hockey as kids, we knew not to have 3 guys chase 1 behind our own net. Yeah, would be great to get a save there but...that just can't happen.

I know our GAA was good last year but this team defence in my opinion hasn't been good for a while. We play sloppy out of position hockey. Someone said earlier Johnson always seems to score against us and when not is in the minors. My answer it's because we are easy to play against. Soft defence and shady defensive play. A lot of players always seem to get up and produce against us.

I heard Friedman I believe blaming his play due to the arbitration. I call BS. If that is the reason he sucks he's a bigger flake than Campbell.

Domi is a blockhead, but he was expecting Rielly to win that puck. There are some decision making issues from the skaters and the goalie (at the same time, horrifically). All the same, there are 3 other goals on the ledger and they weren?t all on Sammy and they also weren?t all 3-behind-the-net.

Clearly overthinking and save selection is either wrong or late as a result. Especially deadly for a reaction-style goalie.

4 goals on 11 shots. Not all of them were guaranteed goals. A save can be made once in a while.

Yes, definitely but - when you give a guy the puck all alone in front you're not making it easy on the goalie.

Samsonov's play seems to be agitating the panel bigtime.

Sucks the life out of the team if random looks keep dropping

Kypreos is no intellect but it's hard to argue with him.  I just saw a couple of replays of CBJ goals and yeah it looks like our team D is in the crapper but 4 on 11?  That's a good batting average, but we are looking for results in a sport that doesn't involve a ball.
