Ilya Samsonov swears on national television after posting a shutout
Last night Ilya Samsonov posted a shutout and in a post-game interview, he got a bit rowdy by dropping the F-word on national television.
Ilya Samsonov had quite the night last night versus the Buffalo Sabres posting a 34-save shutout backstopping the Leafs to a 3-0 victory.
With goals from Auston Matthews, Nick Robertson, and John Tavares, the Leafs forwards were also quite stellar with defenseman Conor Timmins adding on a pair of assists.
In a post-game interview, Ilya Samsonov got a bit vulgar with this hilarious quote.
"I don't remember what I do here last time? Nine goals? F*** this s***. I feel good right now. That's a long time ago. I don't remember." - Ilya Samsonov.
For Samsonov to come back and have a near-polar opposite performance to his last game gives the Leafs faithful a lot to be excited for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Here is a compilation of some of Samsonov's best moments from last night.

It now appears to be a battle between Samsonov and Joseph Woll for the Leafs starter for game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Leafs will need one to rise to the occasion for a potential Stanley Cup run.
