It definitely hasn't been the start that Ilya Samsonov was hoping for after he went into arbitration this offseason. He took the blame for last night's 3-1 loss to the Panthers, even joking that he needed glasses.
It is good that Samsonov is feeling better in the bigger picture regarding his health, however, this answer doesn't totally put Leaf fans at ease.
Leafs Coach Sheldon Keefe was also disappointed in Samsonov's performance last night, noting that he would like to see some saves on the longer shots.
