Following the Toronto Maple Leafs' 6-5 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night, former NHL referee Tim Peel took to Twitter to create some reactive click-bait material.

Peel's social media post on Friday night

Tim Peel enjoys receiving attention on social media, particularly on his Twitter account. To get interaction, he will post a lot of attention seeking content. Peel intends to engage with listeners through his podcast as well.
Around nine o'clock on Friday night, Eastern time, Peel sent out yet another attention seeking tweet.
#LeafsForever has no D and with out Joseph Woll they are screwed. Samsonov sucks!!
Apparently, Peel believes that Samsonov is a terrible goalie and that he ought to return to Russia, based on his tweets.
Peel does not believe Toronto possesses any credible defensemen either. Toronto's defense has always been criticized by many in the Toronto internet community, usually quite unfairly.

Others also had issue with Samsonov's performance on Friday

Sheldon Keefe was another person unset with the play of Samsonov on Friday night.
"Mistakes get magnified when you don't get saves."
The Athletic has also come on board saying that the Leafs should move on as writer Jonas Siegel suggested they cannot play Samsonov any longer.
It is safe to say there is a lot of frustration in Leaf-land with how the team is playing, even as they spot a 17-9-7 record.
