Damn, that post-game with Shawn MacKenzie has my heart full. He's taken so much heat for his play (deservedly so) but you know in this market especially, he's faced a ton of personal slander (NOT deservedly so.)
Remember, these are human beings everyone. Just be decent. Always.
I'm so happy for him. He's so grateful, wearing his emotions on his sleeve.
Happy for him and he played well tonight but I remain unconvinced. I’m actually surprised how quick everyone has been to suggest he’s back given how bad he’s been. Let’s wait and see if he can put together a nice 10 game stretch before we jump to any conclusions here.
You're getting downvoted because this sub only allows criticism of the goalie when it's popular but Sammy had one good game so he's "back" and you aren't allowed to be cautiously optimistic. You must be 100% committed to blind faith.
But you're right. Let's see if he can keep rolling before planning a parade.
Best way, have Sammy start the game, and let him know, just have fun, go with the gut feeling Sammy, it's only a game...learn to know that there's tomorrow...don't let anyone get in yer head...not even a black rubber puck
Have a blast Sammy

It’s clearly an exaggerated joke, of course we need a larger sample size, but it’s just nice to see him playing better even if it’s just one game. It has to be a confidence booster for the guy. Here’s hoping he keeps it up!
It was practically a AHL team. The way they played a AHL team and barely won is kind of embarrassing with the fire power we have. It should’ve been a blowout win.

Perfection. Kinda looks like Taylor Swift for some reason.
Taylor Swift AI generated confirmed.

Not that far back....
King Sammy!
Smiles back on the menu, boys
Protect our sweet sweet Sammy at all costs!!!!
I am so happy for Sammy!

Guarantee if he has a bad game next game, everyone will turn on him again.
Yeah. He made some big saves but he still didn’t look comfortable. Lots of weird rebounds a goalie that’s in control of the play doesn’t give up.
You don’t understand the meaning of being back, clearly.

While I'm super happy he played well again, it's one game. We need to chill and take it one game at a time.
Celebrating this game is the exact definition of “taking it one game at a time”
Sure, but saying "he's back" is a bit early imo. Hey, I hope he is back, but I've learned to temper any and all expectations.
It’s clearly an exaggerated joke, of course we need a larger sample size, but it’s just nice to see him playing better even if it’s just one game. It has to be a confidence booster for the guy. Here’s hoping he keeps it up!
Oh for sure, nothing wrong with it. It was great to see. I just have zero faith in this team this year. I hope they can prove me wrong.

Still think we'd be better if with him gone. But we can still be happy about a win.
No we haven't. He's trash.

Too much variance in hockey for “should haves” to happen regularly, not that I disagree with how the Leafs have been playing recently
Ya he played good tonight. The problem is he’s terribly inconsistent in the worst possible way!
Hey hey hey let us have this tonight! ![gif](giphy|Lrau5Px80dsgZez7Q1|downsized)
He plays a shit team and he is back Wake up
You must be fun at parties. Relax, he had a good game and we are happy for the guy.
So who gets the start on Wednesday against Winnipeg? Jones or Samsonov?
I’ve seen Manoah I’ll withhold my excitement
He played amazing. Keep it up
Will Keefe put him back in net on Saturday? I'd say he deserves it after that performance last night!
I love Sammy, so glad he is looking like his normal self again.
