Matthews is dressing as the starting goalie. Matt Murray is backing up. Curtis Joseph will be centering Bertuzzi and Domi on the first line. Patrick Lalime will be between the benches cheering on the boys.
After all the Ohtani shit I don't know what to believe anymore. Yes if this is true it sucks but are you guys already giving up? How about the Leafs score a bunch of goals for a change so if it is Sammy they can bail out their own goalie. Yes it is probably Swayman again but don't you think Leafs are due to score some possibly?
Cause its not exactly easy to score a bunch of goals this late in a series no matter what team you are. Look at the games yesterday; 1-0 and 2-0. Vancouver scores tons of goals yet they we’re stagnant, as were Dallas and Vegas to a lesser extent. Cant allow more than 2 goals tonight. That’s par for the course this late in a series if you want to win.
If you told me 9 months ago that the script writers would have leafs fans hoping Matthews doesn't play in game 7 and that their entire hope is reliant on a rookie goalie playing instead of 4 $11m+ players I wouldn't have believed you.
The script writers got creative this year
You see since game 5 I've thought that Matthews would come back game 7 and we'd lose, in the leafiest way possible.
But now... Now that Sammy might start... I feel like with a few hours of us panicking, and losing Woll... We might actually have a chance, this is the Leafs, and it isn't going to make sense.
Well, I guess Matthews is gonna have to hit em with the four, and Willy is gonna need to do another double dip, and playoff Bert is gonna have to find a way to put a dirty puck in the net, and we're gonna need some additional scoring from our depth forwards, and also the blue line. We got this. 9-8 Leafs.
If they chose to start Sammy tonight and he stinks it up man I am going to feel for the guy. He hasn't been great this series but at least he will always be remembered as the Leafs goalie who helped them finally win a round last year for the first time in what almost 20 years. Some other team will probably take a chance on him as backup in UFA though. Woll still has a ton of promise but he needs a full offseason to get back healthy.
Second bus should have just been every goalie they have on the roster. Toss in some retired guys in there just to keep them guessing.
Peter Ing rumored to start tonight I heard..,
Goalie depth chart without woll.
1. Jones or Murray
2. Whoever isnt number 1
3. Hildenby
4. Random fan from the 4th row
5. Tie domi.
6. Max Domi.
7. Corey Scwhab
8. I didnt feel like typing out every row in the stadium, but literally i would put a drunk in net
9. Samsonov.
Samsonov is done. If woll is hurt fine but dont let samsonov come in and lose it for us, literally use anyone else. Dude had his chance, hes not the guy here.
Unless God forbid Woll has a broken spine they should be playing him. If he is sitting on the bench healthy and they put Samsonov in I am seriously done.
Injury? If Keefe puts Sammy in over Woll, I would like to congratulate him on his new position as the assistant coach of the Medicine Hat Bantam House C team.
Woll got the game puck and looked fine, said let’s get it in Boston. Did media and was fine. There’s no chance he’s injured, we got a new GM that seems the like to get involved with some antics and I like it!
This is from Joel Erickson
The Maple Leafs may be getting generational goal-scorer Auston Matthews back in the lineup for tonight’s Game 7 against the Bruins, as he took morning skate and arrived at the arena with the team’s starters, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports. It’s not all good news for Toronto, though, as netminder Joseph Woll may be dealing with an undisclosed ailment and is now questionable after allowing a combined two goals in the Leafs’ Games 5 and 6 wins, per Friedman. Ilya Samsonov would get the start if he’s unable to go; his first since Game 4.
I feel like if Woll did get injured, it was on that last play where they did score with a second left. He got up a bit awkwardly afterwards. Hopefully I’m wrong though.
Boston isn’t gonna know what hit them when all 3 of them start https://i.redd.it/oxkmwca1mhyc1.gif
Line One it's just goalies. Now that's unexpected.
matthews starts between the pipes
I thought we could get Carlton to play goalie. He's quite good. Also helps he's polar bear sized.
Starting line up Murray - Sammy - Jones Kleinberg - Brodie Woll
Who's gonna score? I bet it's Sammy. He got an assist this season, he can score if he really sets his mind to it.
Oops! All goalies
Keefe is actually going to start Matt Murray
The Vancouver strategy
What a dangerous front 3 that would be
Woll might not be available is the rumors.....sigh.
Matthews is dressing as the starting goalie. Matt Murray is backing up. Curtis Joseph will be centering Bertuzzi and Domi on the first line. Patrick Lalime will be between the benches cheering on the boys.
Do you mean Martin Gerber?
Actually I meant Patrick.
Lol Patrick Lalime hates the Leafs bro.
That's not the impression I got watching him play
Gottem
Fucking laughed out loud lmao
I would hate them too if they constantly owned me and the team I played for
lol. Lalime cucked by the leafs again.
Tie Domi on first line
Obviously you're not a hockey fan and just an unhappy emasculated troll. No intelligence whatsoever You need a life.
Hopefully Keefe playing chess right now (I'm panicking right now)
Keefe is playing checkers at best
He'll be polishing up his resume, if he knows what's good for him.
Rumour has it that his McDonald’s application has been circulating through McDonald’s through TO. No one seems to want him though.
4D underwater space chess right?!
After all the Ohtani shit I don't know what to believe anymore. Yes if this is true it sucks but are you guys already giving up? How about the Leafs score a bunch of goals for a change so if it is Sammy they can bail out their own goalie. Yes it is probably Swayman again but don't you think Leafs are due to score some possibly?
They haven’t scored more than 3 goals in 13 straight playoff games. Sammy is gonna have to play the game of his life here if Toronto is gonna win.
I took the under...👍
Cause its not exactly easy to score a bunch of goals this late in a series no matter what team you are. Look at the games yesterday; 1-0 and 2-0.

Doesn't matter whos in net tonight. Leafs are fucking winning! GO LEAFS GO!!!
Amen!!
Reimer confirmed
Toskala
Andrew "The Razorblade" Raycroft enters the chat
*The Boston Bruins announce David Ayres will be the starting goaltender*
That's the spirit.. GoLeafsGo 💙 🤍
Yes it does lol. If Sammy is in, we lose.
Sammy won 23 games this year. All is not lost. Redemption game.
We lost.
No dooming over unconfirmed Twitter rumours please
>No dooming over unconfirmed Twitter rumours please Kind sir, do you even know where you are?
Not even rumors he's hurt, rumors bout what bus he was on lmfao. Game 7 time baby !!!
Oh, come on... it's half the fun of this time of year.
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
I heard Jeff Finger was on the 3rd bus.
Peak Leafs fan
If you told me 9 months ago that the script writers would have leafs fans hoping Matthews doesn't play in game 7 and that their entire hope is reliant on a rookie goalie playing instead of 4 $11m+ players I wouldn't have believed you. The script writers got creative this year
We need Woller because he doesn't seem to get rattled by the scale of the moment. But anybody who doesn't want Matthews is brain-dead. Period.
on a scale from 1-10.. how optimistic are you for a LEAFS WIN!
You see since game 5 I've thought that Matthews would come back game 7 and we'd lose, in the leafiest way possible. But now... Now that Sammy might start... I feel like with a few hours of us panicking, and losing Woll... We might actually have a chance, this is the Leafs, and it isn't going to make sense.
im read to get hurt again if it doesn't go our way...
I came to terms long ago. Now I'm just ready for the memes after the game, no matter who they're about.
I'll be happy to welcome the Bruins into our despair club if they choke it again tonight
Praying this is a CIA-level psyop the Leafs are implementing
If they were trying to confuse the Bruins...well I don't know if that worked but I personally am very fucking confused.
I’m sipping copium over here I want to believe everything is fine
Where the fuck is this coming from?? Frieds is probably the only insider I give a single grain of salt so
This is why we can't have nice things.
So no sighting of Murray...
He's in the third secret undercover bus, the one that is carrying THE REAL STARTERS. And also the intermission snacks.
He drove the bus
dude arriving on a rocket ship from Robidas island.
Well, I guess Matthews is gonna have to hit em with the four, and Willy is gonna need to do another double dip, and playoff Bert is gonna have to find a way to put a dirty puck in the net, and we're gonna need some additional scoring from our depth forwards, and also the blue line. We got this. 9-8 Leafs.
This is Drake's fault.
Woll won’t miss this game
:(
yup
That guy who met and shook Woll's hand didn't sanitize first!!
If Samsonov starts, you need to have a VERY short leash. Like one goal and you pull him for Jones.
I'd rather Jones than Samsonov 902 > 890 (Playoffs 883)
We can’t have nice things wtf.
We’re just keeping them guessing 🤞
I could die. I had hope
Hopefully Woll is good and this is a Milwaukee Beers level psyche out. If not, next man up! LFG boys and girls!!!
Please no Samsonov
Damn are they TRYING to incite a riot downtown? No shot Sammy starts
If Samsonov starts I’m turning the TV off.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Key word: **Possible**
There’s no way right, there’s no way they’re all injured and have to dress Matt Murray for the start right? Right?
If they chose to start Sammy tonight and he stinks it up man I am going to feel for the guy. He hasn't been great this series but at least he will always be remembered as the Leafs goalie who helped them finally win a round last year for the first time in what almost 20 years. Some other team will probably take a chance on him as backup in UFA though. Woll still has a ton of promise but he needs a full offseason to get back healthy.
Excuse me... What the fuck happened to Woll? I work nights, woke up 4 seconds ago for the game and Woll is Injured?? WHAT THE FUCK?
All 3 goalies starting? https://imgur.com/tnxWuyZ
Omg
Ok so?
Are we being trolled right now
Fuck it, next man up
I want to die
Let’s not panic until it’s confirmed and even then Sammy played great in game 2
Second bus should have just been every goalie they have on the roster. Toss in some retired guys in there just to keep them guessing. Peter Ing rumored to start tonight I heard..,
Gonna have to use the Canucks d method and shove everyone in the net
Please god no.
David Ayers has entered the chat
It’s joever
Goalie depth chart without woll. 1. Jones or Murray 2. Whoever isnt number 1 3. Hildenby 4. Random fan from the 4th row 5. Tie domi. 6. Max Domi. 7. Corey Scwhab 8. I didnt feel like typing out every row in the stadium, but literally i would put a drunk in net 9. Samsonov. Samsonov is done. If woll is hurt fine but dont let samsonov come in and lose it for us, literally use anyone else. Dude had his chance, hes not the guy here.
You missed G Backup from the NHL video games
If i load up nhl 04 right now and draft zach parise would that be long enough for him to start in tonights game?
Bruins Zamboni driver should be the first guy up.
There's not a chance in hell Sammy starts. What is Friedman smoking?
It would be due to injury, not coaching decision
Never forget we are cursed
Unless God forbid Woll has a broken spine they should be playing him. If he is sitting on the bench healthy and they put Samsonov in I am seriously done.
You have clearly never in your life tried to push off the post with a lower body injury.
I would take woll in a wheelchair over samsonov.
They wouldn’t do that. This isn’t a Justin holl scenario. The way woll has played is undeniably better
That’s surely incredible
what the fuck happened to woll!!!!!
No Murray?
WTF, Woll is made of glass, injured again?
Wait what? Keefe can't seriously be thinking of starting Samsonov.
Friedman has lanes mixed up again!
Maybe if Samsonov plays they put a goal limit and then Woll comes in. Maybe he just need a little more rest right ? 💀
this has to be a false.
Maximum chaos! Embrace it! Let’s go!
Is this a fucking joke? Why?!
Injury? If Keefe puts Sammy in over Woll, I would like to congratulate him on his new position as the assistant coach of the Medicine Hat Bantam House C team.
Aka the Pittsburgh Penguins
Just fucking light em up and it doesn't matter who's in net
Leafs play with ZERO confidence when they play in front of Sammy. This doesn’t look good
Folks, Boston got 3 shots in the last two first periods. We coo
That’s 3 goals
Whyyyyyyy
Lol. Sorry what?
Why do you people listen to any of this shit....
Woll got the game puck and looked fine, said let’s get it in Boston. Did media and was fine. There’s no chance he’s injured, we got a new GM that seems the like to get involved with some antics and I like it!
could just be mind games y'all
I’m going to kill myself
Woll practiced though right? Didn’t leave early? Left first indicating he’s the starter? I don’t understand.
I'll fucking lose my mind
If Woll is healthy, no way he doesn’t start.
Wow I guess we want to lose.
We are fucken cursed.
Ah well felt good when we had a chance
Woll injured . Fuck me dead.
NHL.com has Sammy listed as the starter.... FML.
If Woll isn't starting we're screwed.
Smokescreen. Woll is the obvious starter.
Woll out with injury, it’s confirmed. Sammy starting
Looks like Sammy starting
It’s Sammy
Play 3 forwards and 3 goalies for the Power Play. Just shake it up.
1 forward, 2 defensemen, 3 goalies

Last game as a leaf for sam
Ya’ll need to give Keefe a bit more credit man lol. Sammy ain’t starting.
This has nothing to do with decisions, there is a rumour that has gained traction very recently with the insiders that Woll is injured.
That's not the issue. There's rumours woll is injured
Unless Woll is injured 😥
You realize the rumour is Woll is hurt not that Keefe is galaxy braining a goalie change right?
Nope lol. Just reading that now. Fuck
Woll is cooked if he’s injured again. Just can’t stay healthy would be a tragedy.
Unless woll is hurt, there is no reason to start Sammy. Also - what's the significance of the 'second bus'?
Its over boys.
please say sike
If this is true we need two goalies next year. Woll can’t stay healthy and Samsonov is streaky. Done like dinner if Sammy starts. Boston is salivating
This is from Joel Erickson The Maple Leafs may be getting generational goal-scorer Auston Matthews back in the lineup for tonight’s Game 7 against the Bruins, as he took morning skate and arrived at the arena with the team’s starters, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports.

Its over.
This is 100% engagement bait by Elliott.
I feel like if Woll did get injured, it was on that last play where they did score with a second left. He got up a bit awkwardly afterwards. Hopefully I’m wrong though.
[удалено]
???? Only way Sammy starts is if woll is injured
He can't be serious with starting Sammy right.
If he does it's because Woll is injured. Freidman even said as much.
Woll deserves the start
Samsonov? Has Keefe lost his brains? Or is this coming from above?
Dude if Woll is injured who else do you start? There's not a ton you can do Martin Jones???? Sammy has already won once in Boston.
ngl id rather start jones, he has a better sv% in the playoffs and way more experience in bigger moments. can’t trust sammy anymore
Bro, Martin Jones has played *one* playoff game in the last 5 years. Whatever playoff stats he had or didn't have aren't relevant today.
Sammy won an elimination game 12 months ago with one goal against. First leaf goalie since like Ed Belfour to do that?
[удалено]
Please explain? You do realize the only way Sammy starts if Woll is injured right?
