But I thought the Sens won the off-season

You might be right but I highly doubt it. Currently there is only 4 D of their starting lineup not hurt (well Muzzin might be back shortly) and that would make it risky to play all of them because they truly can’t afford another one getting hurt atm… so keep them in a low key role to ensure you got them for game 1 of the regular season (and the last couple games of preseason when it’s essentially the regular season roster)

You’re right and he’s wrong

Some polite Canadian is going to give back a million dollar HR ball for the chance to shake hands with Aaron Judge

Oh I won’t claim that. Just what I think and expect is all.

My gut tells me, Samsonov will have a great year.
- Fakepartofme

Same. I was very keen on the Leafs signing him.

I'm always going to wear a mask on transit or planes from now on. Not getting a cold or flu ever is great. Gonna get my flu shot and bivalent covid dose asap too. They're outstanding.
- Zezel

Same

I have never seen a college draftee at a training camp when he wasn't signed to some type of a contract. If signed to a contract, he isn't in college hockey any more.
- dmnted

Ah that makes more sense.

I find a lot people do not wear their mask properly. The mask is suppose to go over your nose and not under your nose.
it is what it is.
- dmnted

Yeah, people are pretty (frank)ing stupid.

I can't (frank)ing stand wearing a mask because my glasses get all fogged up and it pisses me off. But not getting sick as often is a pretty damn good trade off.

- Dozzer

Ok. He’s just wrong

Same. I was very keen on the Leafs signing him.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Well people were excited about the Mckay signing...he is the same age as Samsonov.

The thing about goalies is Samsonov has the talent to be a top 10 goalie the next decade, will he? I hope so

yup same here.
I saw a life hack. if you use some liquid soap like dawn on your glasses, they shouldn't fog up. I haven't tried that yet.

I really do not understand what Sandin is doing.

2x1.4M is a good deal for what he has done.

Ok. He’s just wrong
- Canada Cup

My guess is will see more of the 7-8-9-10 guys they have to see who they can rely on once one of their top 6 is hurt

For instance, without Sandin signed who will they role with on that bottom pairing?

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Holl
Giordano ?

I was truly happy to hear Gio is willing to take on playing either side… if Dubas can get Sandin signed that solves the concern rather nicely

Playing time might be his biggest concerns but you need to sign that contract to find out.

Gonna be a real dogfight to see who loses out on qualifying for a wild card spot.

This is why I thought Giordano saying he’ll play either side was such a good thing to hear.

It immediately changed my opinion that Sandin didn’t have a role with the team, now Keefe can flip flop him and Liljegren in and out of the lineup and just get Gio to play either side as needed.

really looking forward to going to (frank)ing winnipeg in january

Wish I was there so I can be hated by all the good citizens of New York for not returning a ball worth millions.

Absolutely no chance I'd ever just hand that poop over.

Probably a good chance Muzzin misses a chunk of games and I don't think Gio plays heavy mins all season.

- Santo_44

Holy poop, he is? I didn't know that.

Samsonov was terrible last season with Washington and he was still at the top of goalies I wanted the Leafs to sign. Because when he's on, he's insanely good. And I thought all along that he could thrive on a team as good as the Leafs.

yup same here.

- dmnted

Didn't know that but I'm also probably not gonna do it, either.

What I usually do is pull the mask further up my nose and move my glasses down my nose a bit. Helps for the most part. Just annoying.

- Santo_44

Muzzin is a question mark agreed

Gio isn’t tho… the leafs had 20 games once he was traded to them and he played in every single one of them, as well as all the playoff games. (82 games in total last year).

I hope both of our top goalies do well of course. Just a gut feeling that Samsonov will be in our longer term plans.

Ah yes, the "this team is a contender because it won some preseason games" proclamation. That always turns out well.
