@HunterCrowther:

– Sammy deserves praise for improving as the match progressed and fighting off everything that was thrown at him in the second and third periods. Without his saves, things could have gone very badly and ended in defeat, which would have left us with no chance of success in the series, but he was cool.

@Bobbiebrewski:

– Samsonov deserved applause for this match. It was a pretty darn cool match.

@BurgTheGoalie:

– Sammy calmed down after the first match. I made some really good saves today.

@pdr_rio:

– I feel the need to express my respect to Samsonov for his performance today. He looked very respectable!

@darleafs_:

“Sammy, I love you very much.” I’m sorry that after the first match there were doubts about you.

@rodmickleburgh:

– Even at a critical moment in the game, the Leafs managed to get two stupid takedowns, but Samsonov saved their skin.

@PatCSportsFan:

– Sammy played amazing! And some mediocrities suggested putting Wall in goal…

@extremeXmetal:

– Usually, I criticize Samsonov a lot, but today I have to give him his due!

@mastodom18:

– This is the kind of game that Samsonov needs to show more often.

@MapleLeaves34:

– Samsonov looked truly monstrous. How many times has he saved the team in the most important moments, especially after Boston’s second goal… An essential character today.
