Samsonov Drops Major News
Samsonov was the backstop for the Leafs for most of the season up until he left game 3 of the second round with an injury. The details were not known at the time but Samsonov shared them today with the media.
Neck injuries typically take a month or longer to heal which would have knocked Samsonov out for essentially the rest of the playoffs.

Samsonov revealing that he would like to re-sign is big news for the Leafs because if they can sign Samsonov long-term, they probably have their goalie of the future.
