Ilya Samsonov’s interview after Thursday’s debacle (five goals allowed in less than [...]

Welcome back everyone! Ah yes, the week before Christmas. If you’re like me you’re not only scrolling up and down Microsoft Teams looking at all the names with an OOO next to them, but also scanning the waiver looking for value.
