I would suggest there were 6 games he played last year where he "cost them points". All 6 were OT or SOLs where he had an .882 Sv% or worse. .875 in a 3-2 OTL to NSH .882 in a 4-3 OTL to CHI .862 in a 4-3 OTL to NYI .829 in a 6-5 OTL to CBJ .714 in a 6-5 OTL to CBJ .844 in a 5-4 OTL to DET - ThreadSky

The game vs Buffalo on Dec 21, 2023 I'd say he cost the Leafs points. 5 goals on 19 shots. He couldn't make a routine save, I was there and I'll never be over it.

Leafs lost 9-3, and Martin Jones had to come in and he let in 4, but if Samsonov was not the worst goalie I've ever seen live, then the Leafs have a decent chance of getting points in that game.

There was also a 6-5 regulation loss to NJD where he posted a .700 Sv% that would definitely qualify.

So they lost 8 pts due to Samsonov? Maybe 7?

That's pretty bad... But is it abominable.

This year Joe Woll has 6 regulation losses with a Sv% of .870 or worse.

All of them by more than 1 goal... Does that mean we don't blame the goaltending?

stephenburtch.bsky.social•20 days ago

For all the talk of how much the Leafs need/rely on elite goaltending, feels funny to point out that Woll has only lost 4 games all year when he has posted a Sv% of .871 or higher.

19-4-0.
