Ilya Samsonov is now a member of the Las Vegas Golden Knights while Linus Ullmark now plays for the Ottawa Senators.

Last season, Samsonov and Ullmark were rivals playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. On November 21st, the two will face off when the Knights take on the Sens. However, it seems like there could be some animosity here. At least that's how Samsonov's latest comments read on Instagram.

Below, you can see a screenshot of Samsonov reacting to Ullmark being named the 10th-best goalie in the league. From there, he writes "November 21, keep your ass shut. Or are you injured again."

It's hard to know the tone in which this was written. It could have been a friendly jab, or maybe it was a full-blown attack. Either way, things just got a whole lot more interesting between the Senators and the Golden Knights. We wonder if both goaltenders will even be starting that night. Either way, fans had some fun with this.

"Bro forgot to log into the burner account to reply"

"Developed schizophrenia in the offseason"

"Ive read this like 5 times and still have no idea what is happening"
