“I just remember playing against Toronto, they benched me after the first half. Everyone knows we have the best offense in the league. I’m really excited for the start of the season. Everyone here dreams of winning the Cup and it’s a great opportunity for me too. Matt Murray and I will do everything in our power to achieve that goal,” Samsonov said as quoted by Sportsnet.ca.
Recall that last season, Ilya Samsonov, speaking for “Washington”, started at the start of two matches with “Toronto” and was replaced in both during the match due to the large number of conceded goals.
The goaltender signed a one-year, $1.8 million contract with the Maple Leafs last summer.
