"I would not concede the net to Samsonov as a forgone conclusion," said Johnson. "Against Dallas, they won 5-4. Was he really good that game? Was he locked in?.. It didn't feel like that to me when I watched him play so I would say no. It's a day-by-day thing for him and the Toronto Maple Leafs until Woll gets back and, fingers crossed, he eliminates this question of something they have to think about. Even when he makes the saves, it's still a work in progress with him. He doesn't give me full confidence he will stop all the shots you think he probably should. Until I get that feeling that he will and he in fact does, then no.
I'm delighted for him. It's really been something that he's come back and played better. I can't pretend that he wasn't where he was a month ago, three weeks ago. I am sort of game by game. I'm happy I have the option to play him, but I'm not giving it to him. No chance."
