You guys can say stats are irrelevant but how else would we make pre series predictions? You can't just say it's a wash because that is what you want. One guy has been better this year, it's more likely that continues than not.

8/10 of the top goalies during the regular season, including all 5 of the top 5, are now out of the playoffs.
Of those top 10 regular season goaltenders, there were only 5 guys who currently sit outside the top 10 goaltenders to play a game in the playoffs and Samsonov is one of them.
You’re free to make whatever series prediction you want and Toronto might do just fine. But nothing about the season matters once the puck drops in game one. Let’s not pretend otherwise “because that is what you want.”
