Samsonov has been accused of knocking off the net intentionally during a Senators power play to force a stoppage in play. The incident appears to be open to interpretation, as it seems that Samsonov moved towards the post, stumbled, and fell on the post, causing the net to come off.
The question that arises is whether Samsonov intentionally caused the net to come off, or whether it was an honest accident. Some speculate that Samsonov may have seen this moment as an opportunity to give the Leafs a stoppage in play during their penalty kill, while others hope that it was just a genuine mistake and that he has not learnt this trick from Murray, who has been accused of doing the same thing in the past.
