The question is whether Samsonov intentionally knocked off the net or it was just an actual, honest accident. It is possible that he wanted to give the Leafs a stoppage in play while they were on the penalty kill, and he saw this moment as an opportunity to do so. On the other hand, it could have been an unintentional mistake. Hopefully, this was just an accident, and Samsonov has not learnt this awful habit from
Matt Murray, who has been accused of knocking the net off intentionally in the past.
