Why can’t Toronto Maple Leafs starting goalies stay healthy, ever?
Ilya Samsonov was viewed as the Toronto Maple Leafs 1B or back-up goalie to start the season, but with the continuous health issues of Matt Murray, he’s now turned into the number-one.
We all know the history of Murray. He went from being the super-kid with two Stanley Cup rings to a waiver-wire goalie in a few short years. So, when he joined the Leafs last offseason, it was tough to judge what goalie we were getting.
It would be crazy to think that he’d be near-perfect like he was in Pittsburgh, but also just as crazy to think he’d be as bad as he was in Ottawa.
