“Nine goals? fuck that shit”
-Ilya Samsonov
Can u find an uncensored version of it
Russian Sami done good? Guess that's why Steve appears to appreciate him. I make mistakes and can learn. But won't be fooled again. Hope he does well, just like he is paid.

@@FitbitUser-jv3zp Goalies are weird. They can be gods one day and goats the next.
The real hero for me in that scrum at the end of the game was Mark Giordano. 40 years old, just back from LTR, and he comes up swinging against three guys at once to defend his teammate. The heart on that man is the size of a boulder.
Went from furiously cheering for Gio to screaming at hin when I saw him down on the ice without a helmet - mad lad just came back from a nasty concussion and he goes in swinging against guys half his age. Too bad we can't have him and Spezza in a scrum together
60th from Matthews, a shut-out, and a beauty quote from Sammy Smiles after the game... what more could you ask for from a home game?! 😂
Loosing in 7 after leading 3-1
@@nikprudhomme3735that has no relevance to anything he said. Stay mad buddy
And the Habs haven't made the playoffs since. Too bad for them Bettman isn't handing any more Covid passes into the playoffs. @@nikprudhomme3735

@@nikprudhomme3735 Rent free, eh there bud?
Ilya Samsonov is absolutely the biggest turn around for the Leafs this season, possibly in the entire NHL. Dude was this close to ending up in the Florida Complex League catching Alek Manoah's side sessions
Based on how Sammy was playing then, he would not have been able to catch any of Manoah's pitches. Literally would not be able to make the catches.
He went through waivers lol
Remember when Roy Halliday was sent back the minors and eventually became dominant and won the Cy Young award? Sometimes a setback can unlock something for an athlete
@@stevet7642i remember that. He struggled a lot at one time too.
Manoahs drop off should be studied lmao
Nice to see Auston score 60 in front of a packed Leafs barn
The Leafs JV team lol
60 goals and a shut out and a ejection what a great team game tonight
Samsonov has to be a front runner for the Masterton trophy this year, what a solid turn around.
Fair point, but Skinner never went through waivers and had to wonder if he was playing any more games this year. That was his playing partner 😅
now that IS funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@SiksdevEdmontons turn around is purely because McDavid decided to be McDavid. I’d credit the oilers defence before Stuart skinner as well tbh
@Siksdev never said the defence was top 5 but it’s been above average this year.
Knies and Cozens were going at it in the final few seconds of the game out of camera view, until Uncle Reavo came over
The crowd was louder in Buffalo than they are at home. The blue collar leaf fans can actually afford a ticket in Buffalo.
..and even then they up the price of tickets in Buffalo, and Detroit, and Arizona. It's quite pathetic revenue is in the billions and yet they still do this.
@@James-nv1wf Why shouldn't they charge a bit more for a more in-demand game?
@@cousinjimmy2638 Then scrap the cap, the Leafs should be the Dodgers of the NHL. Price gouging is a double standard.
@@James-nv1wfthat’s economics.
I'm now terrified at what Thumbnail you've got planned for Goal #69 😂
Sammy. He won the game.
Maybe they should have the tag team belts.
We all remembered what happened in December against the same Buffalo team, same goalie for the Leafs (Sammy) different for Buffalo (Levi instead of UPL) and 9-3 Sabres, months later… Sammy vs UPL and 3-0 Leafs.
The Leafs got destroyed back in December 9-3, now the Leafs got revenge by shutting out the Sabres. Pure revenge
And still got destroyed if not Sammy.
Probably not, buffalo finds a way to lose @@mycrease8936
Hearing the fans chant Sammy Sammy at an away game is one of the reasons it is so great being a Leaf fan. Then again being a life long Leaf [I'm in my mid 60s] it sucks at the same time...lol
Keefe: "Hey, who wants to play in the playoffs?"
Samsonov: "ME!"
Every other Leaf on the bubble: *looking at floor, shuffling feet, mumbling incoherently*
How about a hand for Connor Timmins, if he does nothing else in his nhl career, he just became the answer to who was the only player to assist Matthew's 60th goal the second time around, also Matthew's 60th the first time was the 3rd goal in a 3-0 win over a divisional opponent.
Samsonov began the season pretty bad, and it only got worse from there. He disintegrated. He crashed to a level where he literally couldn't play hockey. The dude had to clear waivers mere months ago. UNREAL comeback. Absolute hero.
Man even as a leafs fan I missed those Sabres Jerseys.... those are the best ones
His 12 PIMs definitely ADDED to Matthews points total in my league!! Wooooo!!! Oh yeah, and number 60 baby!!! Let’s go!! 🤘😃🤘
This episode should be done entirely w the Elmo voice.
The Best part of that game was how the Leafs didn’t back down. At this point in the season its how they play, not the score
I was at this game. Leafs fans outnumbered Sabres fans at least 4 to 1. Samsonov got a standing ovation from the crowd remaining after the game was over. Tons of Go Leafs Go, MVP, and Sammy chants from those in attendance. The best part of the game was when the Sabres mascot was beating on his drum only to get Go Leafs Go chants. I watched him throw the drumstick and his hands up in frustration. Hilarious.
Sammy should have gotten the belt. Hitting 60 is a great accomplishment but Sammy is the reason that the Leafs won. The belt is for the MVP of the game, not the season.
The thing is, Sammy can get another elite performance in this season still, another shutout. But you can only get 60 goals once in the whole season, so that's why.
Sammy the People's Belt Holder, Matthews the Team's Belt Holder
Imagine Scotiabank Centre with that atmosphere? Crowd was half the entertainment
I was lucky to be there and you’re right. It’s night and day compared to Scotiabank. And I’d say 25% of seats were empty too…
I am glad Matthews got his 60th goal at a home game.
I noticed that somehow Matthews was presented with the wrestling belt in the room after the game. Matthews I believed turned to Samsonov and although unsure what was said he seemed very apologetic
To be fair this season Samsonov tried to give Matthews the belt and Matthews gave it straight back to him. Very rare that someone gets the belt back to back, not sure of it ever happening before. That's how big Sammy's turn around has been this season.
Auston's leadership has really grown. If Tavares is ever to depart from the team, Matthews should be next in line for the C. Either him or Mo, Rielly is a great leader as well
@@Outta-hz1ej this season he's been going to acknowledge his tender after scoring. There's a big inclusiveness with the team this year. They play for each other more than I've seen before.
Reilly has very good leadership skills but he terrible defensively. Tavares skills and consistency are deteriorating rapidly. He can be replaced with (1) $4 million and (2) $3 million player
Last night, fathers loved Sammy, mothers loved Sammy, brothers loved Sammy, sisters loved Sammy, grandfathers loved Sammy, grandmothers loved Sammy, nephews loved Sammy, nieces loved Sammy, but Cozens HATED him.
LFR! Thanks Steve!
Great to see Sammy get the shutout and awesome to see Matthew's get 60
A lot of the skaters went out of their way to give the game to the Sabres, but Sammy said, "Not tonight"
Away game in Buffalo cheaper to go to than a home game in SBA
5 rows from the glass same price as sitting on the roof at scotiabank
@@motelbobby4104 yeah I’ve been thinking about going to Buffalo or Ottawa for a 2nd and 3rd home game. I can’t afford SBA
Mik being a canucks player means so much to me personally. I fell in love with the sdpn during the 2020 mayhem and watched a lot of your old shows for months and months. Mikheyev quickly became my favourite player after hearing your story about his injury, and when he entered free agency I was begging for him to come to my Canucks.
@steve. Imagine having Clifford and Reaves on a line for the sole purpose of pain.
Does that game misconduct ruin Matthews bid for the lady bing trophy? (I think that's what it's called)
GO LEAFS GO!
Beautiful performance by the boys
Easter gift has come Earlier!
Happy easter Steve and your family!
The belt is a per-game thing. Auston got one goal last night, Sammy had an amazing shutout. Sammy 100% deserved the belt last night.
Steve, the name of the arena is Scotiabank Arena 😉
Don't talk about the 9-3 game that I had to witness in person.... SIGH.
Just a thought yes 9-3 was bad but missing the playoffs for 13 seasons in a row is worse. And speaking of blowouts TB got just pasted by Florida 9-2 at home in Tampa a while ago, even worse than a 9-3 loss on the road but if I were Florida they might end up playing Tampa in the playoffs 2nd round possibly and they have never beaten TB in a playoff series. TB is a dangerous team as an underdog. As for the Leafs a very tough assignment for their first round, let’s hope….
Do you wanna hear a fun stat? The last time Matthews hit 60, it was a 3rd period goal to make it 3-0 against Detroit, and the leafs would win 3-0. And the same thing just happened against the Sabres. 🤔
I actually got points for matthews getting a misconduct LOL
Congratulations Auston ❤🎉
All the players on the ice refusing to drop the gloves during the scrum at the end was hilarious!
What a great hockey game, there was suspense with the close game. A leafs record in the making, Sammy getting the shutout. And to top it off a there was hockey game that broke out of a fight at the end
It’s crazy because in a seven game series with buffalo the leafs could either win that series 4-2 or lose 3-4.
They could either win or lose… wild eh
lmao Steve u kill me.. slow dancing with tage thompson
Props to the sabre fans in attendance who standing O for mathews 60th.
Lots of sabre chances thru 1st n 2nd looked...lazy when it came to the shot. Then sampsonov became dominic hasek for the 3rd!
LETS GO!!! 60 BINGOS FOR AM34 🎉🎉🎉🎉
No lady byng for Matthews thanks to the end of game melee
Great game! Wish some of the boys dropped the mitts at the end but was entertaining nonetheless. Great game by Sammy and Auston hitting 60 was the cherry on top
This arena has had so many names, usually bank-related. Marine Midland, HSBC....the old building was the Aud, and like Boston Garden felt small.
You can't even give them nicknames like the Garage, the Hangar because they keep changing.
I miss when Key Bank Center was the First Niagara Center, aka the F'N C. Wild how that arena went up when I was a kid and has had three names since then.
Auston Matthews that goon got a 10 minute misconduct
we love you guys because of your personality, if adam/jesse did a stream or you guys start mixing 2 of you guys i think it could rly elevate the streams, albeit i still love them with you solo
I was sad that they censored Sammy on the video of the interview😂 I mean, I know why but... I wanna hear Sammy swear in his Russian accent😂
I really want to know what it'll take to get hat guy to do another lfr. Steve let us know!!!
Auston Matthews breaks his back for months to score 60:
Leefs fans: ok oston
Backup goalie plays ok:
Leefs fans: 👁👄👁
What was Matthews supposed to do? Sprint to the bench?
Go Leafs Go
Watch Mogilny's 1000 point video. You would think the Leafs won the cup in Toronto. Nope, just Almo scoring his 1000 and 1001 career points. It was a CLASSIC Joe Bowen call. "Mogilny a shot.... SCORES!!!!!! A THOUSAND POINTS FOR ALEXANDER MOGILNY and a tie game HOLY MACKINAW IN BUFFALO!!!!!" Name a current announcer who can make a call you would remember word for word 20 years from now.
I wish Bonesy was still on TV. I always check LeafsJelly's highlights after every game to hear his call
Admittedly only 14 years, but Chris Cuthbert calling Crosby's Golden Goal in Vancouver.
"Crosby...over the line. Sidney Crosby...can't bust in. Up with it again, he's...on the ice with Iginla. Iginla...CROSBY SCORES!!! SIDNEY CROSBY!!! THE GOLDEN GOAL!!! AND CANADA HAS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OLYMPIC GOLD!!!
Wasn't Matthews last goal against he Devils? When Nylander also scored his last goal?
Robertson scares me every time he gets the puck. Yes he scores every once in a while, but he’s a bit of a puck give-a-way machine. So is Knies.
I BELIEVE.
Auston didn't deserve the game misconduct
Is the Keybank a shape?
21:50 Chicago definitely thought about it.
A Leafs win in Buffalo is as rare as a hen's tooth. And what a win it was!
I wanted Matthews to walk that belt over to Sammy after he got it.
I wonder how buffalo feels there entire arena in leaf jerseys 😂
Matthews has scored more goals than any player drafted since 2010 - He was drafted in 2016. Only two players have scored more since 2008...
PARADE IS BACK ON BABY
I didn't realize there was a parade for losing in the first round.
Are you gonna stream for the playoffs?
60!
So amazing for AM to get his 60th goal at home!
lol!…I’m being Attacked by Dogs……lol, Good one.
Fun Fact: Prior to this game Matthews had 4 penalty minutes for the season. Also Matthews and Nylander both have 95 pts.
11/10 thumbnail
I guess this takes Matthews out of the Lady Bing conversation.
Damn, Hat Guy making you think.
Great Stuff Steve! Happy Easter to The Glynn Clan🐣 - I think the contretemp at the end was mostly the Sabres being diaper babies - and the Leafs exercising their NEW ATTITUDE - if you lose points in your pool for penalties - that SUX! 🙏💛 - BTW - "The Buffalo Memorial Auditorium" was a nicer name than all that Corporate BS.
I Was At The Game I Went Too Buffalo Watch This Game Steve It Was A Great Game Enjoy Your LFRS
With Sammy playing this well, do we really have a great opportunity to use Sammy and Woll in a Swayman/Ullmark dual goalies role? AWESOME!!!😎
Samsonov was on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Actually hilarious that it was the 2 1st lines that got binned
I think Steve made a mistake Matthews got the empty Netter against Edmonton
"In 2017, the NHL named Börje Salming one of the 100 Greatest Players in the first century of the league."
"Prior to Salming's arrival in the NHL, most North Americans considered European players too soft to play in the NHL; Salming's strong performances helped to permanently eradicate that reputation."
"On 4 January 1988, Salming became the first European born and trained player to appear in 1,000 career NHL games."
That was Matthew's best goal. He got in front of the crease and will the puck in. I hope he plays like this in the post season. Bobby McMann played lights out. That guy is only going to get better.
Mcmann controlled his guy in the headlock so wellwhat a guy❤
Papi 60 🚨🚨
That open was enough to earn your like 😂🤣
That third picture had more Pittsburgh jerseys than Sabres jerseys 😂🤣
I was at this game and it felt like 70 percent of the building (at least) was leafs fans. Absolutely electric. Had a family of sabres fans in front of me who were very nice, kinda felt a little bad about the whole situation for them
Toronto had one heck of home game. Oh wait, it was at Buffalo, but almost everyone had Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys on. Sabres had their high scoring game so now they had to rest and play drunk for Toronto. As a Sabre fan, I have seen this all year and it deeply sadness me.
Golaie hierachy:
1. Sammy - YOUR STARTER
2. Jones
3. Woll
I would sparingly play Sammy going down the strech. I would play Woll and Jones and Sammy 33% respectively. That way all 3 are not rusty and Sammy is rested going into Round 2. He is the guy. We are so lucky to have 3 goalies all of them good, but Sammy is the best today.
Sammy deserved that belt
Here's my question. With his 12 minutes in Penalties tonight where does Matthews land in Selke voting? ( He was at 4 prior to this game, now he's at 16).
What does pims mean for seller do you mean lady byng?
@@rhaspados666 Yeah I meant Lady Byng. apologies.
Always wanted to ask this , in the intro what does 'And when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs, you can crumple, crumple yates' mean'?
Throw out all expectations, plans, etc.
Amazing! The Leafs win and gain ground on....absolutely NOBODY! Boston won, Florida won, the NY Rangers won, and Carolina Won...all the teams the Leafs are chasing. Additionally the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team CHASING the Leafs won. In fact every team except Boston won by 3 goals, so they really didn't even gain any tie breaker deciders either! Similarly, the fringe teams are barely holding a spot or just outside of the playoff hunt, all seemed to lose. Washington, Pitt, & Detroit each managed to pick up a point losing in OT or a shootout, but the Islanders, Philly, Buffalo, Montreal, & New Jersey all lost in regulation. Coming into the season, we all knew that Florida, Toronto, Boston and Tampa would all be the LIKELY playoff teams from the division, and that really isn't in question at this point. The thing we didn't know would be in what order they would finish, and that's still up in the air. In the Metro, The Rangers & Carolina were locks, and NJ seemingly had a spot wrapped up, and we'd LIKELY see the Caps, Isles and Pitt fighting for the 4 spot, but as it is, Philly has passed all of them & has a comfy lead. Gonna be an interesting stretch run for teh metro, but in our division, just jockeying for a shot at home ice.
3 different 1st overall picks got game misconducts on the same play. That's got to be a record. Could've been 4 if JT had been on the ice.
He had the time put his contacts from his old phone onto his new phone before shooting….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sammie deserved the belt. His performance had a crucial impact on the outcome of the game.
