Two former Habs slam Ilya Samsonov on live TV
If we include Thursday night's loss, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a record of zero wins and 11 losses since 2004 when they have the opportunity to eliminate an opponent in playoff series.
In the fifth game, Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre blamed goalie Ilya Samsonov, who let in a soft goal, much like Jack Campbell did in the seventh game on Brendan Gallagher's goal.
"There's no reason for him to not stop that goal" - Maxim Lapierre
History is repeating itself for the Leafs, who must be under immense pressure right now. They had the opportunity to close out this series at home, but they failed to do so once again.
