Post-Game Talk: WOLL Stands Tall gives Leafs the Win!

Starting Sammy next game is a good call. Leafs need Sammy and given him a bad team like Nashville to help his confidence. Good game for him to get back on track.

 

[WillyC]

Woll is just toying with them now.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I'm so happy that the Leafs may have finally drafted a young superstar goalie THAT THEY'LL KEEP (Tuukka Rask ring a bell?)
Having an excellent goalie brings a very good team to a different level. Finally????
If Keefe was smart he should ride out the wave and keep him in net for Saturday's game.

And then he gets lit up because the team just ain't up to it, because they're on the end of a long road trip..............

How is that good for the Leafs? If anything that is good for Woll and the Leafs collectively.

Throw Sammy to the wolves on saturday. Don't put that on Woll.

Bertuzzi finally had a game where things went his way a bit more. He's a greasy player but he's really good around the net. That 2nd line of him, Nylander and Tavares has been consistently a threat.

Knies also keeps impressing, and playing with Domi seems like a good fit. Kampf can be shot in the sun though... He doesn't hit, win battles or show any sort of IQ or skill. He works hard and can win faceoffs, that's it.

I thought Klingberg had a great game and Rielly keeps having a Norris level season. Without McCabe though, this is gonna get spicy. Benoit sucks really bad.

Woll being great isn't a surprise. A good goaltender will give you these kind of stretches often. Just don't turn on the guy once he cools down, please?

Throw Sammy to the wolves on saturday. Don't put that on Woll.

Playing against a crappy Nashville team isn't really throwing him to the wolves. Leafs will be heavy favourites and Samsonov is expected to have a decent game.

 

[Al14]

Great game Woll. Without you in net, I think your/our Leafs lose 5-4 in OT.

Our core 4 showed up and played very well.

We still need some help on D. I hope McCabe isn't out very long.

Nylander at $10M AAV looks like a bargain now.

 

[Burnie97]

Marincin

f***kkkkk... he is on the moon now from the Leafs cannons ... no?

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Oilers sht the bed again,. Loooooove.it! As I have some family and friends that are LOLers fans and Leaf haters, lol!!!

I miss Aki Berg

The hell you don't! Lmao!

 

[kb]

 

[stickty111]

Wtf... this is where Keefe makes no f***ing sense. Really stupid.

Don't give me work load bullshit.

Let Woll go on a rip

You can't just let Samsanov just sit there. You'll need both. Nashville is a good game to get him in

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Should get the other guy in every third game or so. Both guys have battled injuries.

Makes sense to get Sammy in Saturday after Woll's faced a lot of shots the past few games.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Admirable effort by the defence after having lost one of their defencemen. Rielly was terrific but they were all good.

But make no mistake, Woll was terrific again and without him we probably lose. He made so many high danger chance saves. Great stat, he hasn’t allowed a goal in the first or third. Doesn’t put us down early, doesn’t allow a letdown in the third.

Once again Nylander and Tavares were very good. Also liked Jarnkrok’s game. Marner great defensive game.

I’m done with the fourth line. Hemmed in every shift, allowing the goal, and even allowing a breakaway. Reaves is useless on that line.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Glad Woll is off to a strong start. After a good showing last year, it's nice that he's built off of that.

That being said it's not the time to give him the net full time. Sammy's rope should be shortening but he should be getting some starts. Maybe more strategically though.

While I'm excited to get Knies into the top 6, I like to see his effectiveness on the third line. Some good growth there.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Does Minten go down now so that we can call up a d-man to come in for McCabe on Saturday?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Man good thing we didn't trade Marner, Tavares, and Bertuzzi.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

TOI for the defence was heavy after McCabe went down.

Rielly 26:13
Liljegren 24:07
Klingberg 23:25
Brodie 22:23
Giordano 18:09

mccabe what?

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Man good thing we didn't trade Marner, Tavares, and Bertuzzi.

We would have won in the shootout, man

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

mccabe what?

He got injured on his first shift and didn’t return.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

Anyone else see the Woll to Price comparisons in style during the intermission. Not trying to sound overly excited, but Toronto may have a legit goaltender on their hands.


KEEP IT ROLLING

max? is that you?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Starting Sammy next game is a good call. Leafs need Sammy and given him a bad team like Nashville to help his confidence. Good game for him to get back on track.

Watch Sammy get shelled against a bad team like the Preds.
I hope not, but wouldn’t be surprised.

What kinda cooldown though lol

Are we getting Campbell’s .940 -> .914 where he was a .890 goalie for large stretches or just normal regression

Obviously there will be people who overreact to his eventual cooldown, but normal regression hopefully won’t be terrible and snowball into something worse

 

[authentic]

That’s exactly what I said the other day that he reminds me of a young Price, very calm and covers the net well with the ability to make acrobatic saves

 

[Voodoo Child]

Play the Woll, pay the toll.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Why are people upset at starting Samsonov on Saturday.

This is exactly how we were acting when Campbell went on that hot streak in November then slowed down HEAVYYYY after January.

Samsonovs a really good goalie, let him get his confidence back and don't overwork the rookie goalie.
