Injury Report: Joe Woll - High Ankle Sprain - Feb 26: Recalled from conditioning stint

[Evilhomer]

If I was Keefe, I would platoon Samsonov and Woll the rest of the way and let their play decide who is the starter in game 1 of the playoffs. If it's too close to call, that will be a great problem to have.

I suspect that Woll will probably only get 10 or 12 of the remaining regular season games, and that he will be the starter for game 1 of the first round. Absent injury, I don't think we will see Samsonov at all in the playoffs.

Woll probably starts against arizona.

It will depend on if Woll plays like he did before the injury

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't.

 

[Squiffy]

According to CapFriendly, Woll is still on LTIR.

Ya, wierd, to me 13.9 of CBA says LTIR ends when conditioning loan ends, but who am I to argue with CapFriendly. Splitting hairs either way, about to be back on roster.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't.

Then you're not even trying.

 

[Schennanigans]

Will be interesting to see how he responds after all this time off. It’s also kind of a weird situation for Samsanov as he’s turned things around but still may lose the net again if Woll just comes back and dominates.

I feel Keefe won't over work any of them unless there is a need to.

Samsonov has turned things around relative to his start.

His save % during his recent run still starts with a .8XX

 

[PROUD PAPA]

The games against Arizona and Buffalo seem like good starts to get him back up to speed. Wouldn't put him in against Boston or the Rangers just yet.

Knowing he's coming off an injury Kreider would run him for sure.

Really? I remember he had a .942 his first 4 games back… has he really been that bad since then that he’s dropped below .900 overall since his return? Doesn’t seem like it.

So we're putting Jones on waivers? I imagine we aren't rolling with 3 goalies.

Woll coming back right before deadline. You think Tre is dumb enough to trade him for a better goalie right now and sacrifice the future of the net?

We aren't trading Woll lol

 

[Mugzy97]

We aren't trading Woll lol

We shouldn’t, but you never know

 

[FerrisRox]

So if Woll is back and ready to go what do we do? Because we got 3 goalies do we really waive or trade Jones? Or do we keep all 3?

Because if you waive him he's not likely to clear thistime,

I don't think the Maple Leafs would have any problem whatsoever getting Martin Jones through waivers.

Who do you think would claim him?

I think his play earlier in the season would garner attention from any teams in search of goaltending depth.

 

[Evilhomer]

Couldn't ask for a better first game back than Arizona, who are playing like they don't care if they win another game this season.

Is he confirmed to start that game? because I thought I heard on the broadcast last night that they wanted him to start next week.

Which would make sense because there are 4 games next week including a back to back

I have no idea. I was just guessing. Could very well be that they defer it to next week, maybe to the Buffalo game?

 

[Peasy]

Would be really weird to recall him from his conditioning stint just to have him sit on the bench for a week+

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Interesting

Unless Woll really falters, it's his net to lose, not Samsonov.

Samsonov may have "turned it around" compared to his ECHL level performances before his demotion, but he still hasn't been nearly good enough to be the starting goaltender for a team with Cup aspirations. I'm pretty sure he still has a sub-.900 save percentage since returning to the NHL.

Would be really weird to recall him from his conditioning stint just to have him sit on the bench for a week+

He's starting tonight, so that's not going to happen, but even if it had, I don't think it would be very odd. Getting Woll multiple NHL practices before he gets back in the cage wouldn't have been a bad idea.

 

[fancy lad]

It's obvious Woll is the beast goalie on this team.

Just so much control and composure.
