What’s the best way to get Leafs tickets? Been forever since I’ve been.
Wait a few weeks with AHL goaltending and people will give them to you for free.
This is aging well…..
Leafs just had a road trip where they went 4-2-0 against some real good Eastern Conference competition, and now their rookie goalie posts a shutout against a very good Tbay team.
Called it! Also, some folks here have trouble using the quote/reply function eh?!
Thoughts: how many of AA alts will show up here tonight and will he once again have full blown conversations with each of them all?

Eggs Benny awfully fucking quiet tonight. What a pussy.
Nice win.
Great to see the beast get his first shut out.
Keep up the great play, the leafs are really going to need him. If he can fill the void for the next week or three, that could turn this season around.Leafs are now 3pts back of 1st in the division and 2pts out of a playoff spot.

lol funny how you don’t hear a peep from that loser or the Unholy Eyor with the chicken little syndrome and room temperature IQ after a Leafs win eh?
Both were probably punching air big time after that impressive Leaf win in a tight game.
or
Rage pounding their pud to a Mitch Marner poster.
Either way fuck em’ both!
Go Leafs Go
Troy Stetcher has been a good pick up so far….from the hightlights Ive seen.
I’ve really liked his game since coming to the Leafs, quiet and effective. I saw a clip of him talking to the media right after the Leafs grabbed him and he seemed like a guy who had something to prove – always a good thing.
He and McCabe have been a great pairing too, seems to have allowed McCabe to not try to do too much and he is looking much more like his reliable, tough to play against self.
Good pick up by Tre!
I wonder if the play of Hildeby last few games has got Tre thinking to just weather the storm here until Woll is back and run with Woll and Hidabeast as the 1, 2 combo until (if?) Stollie can come back? Would be nice to not have to give something up to get a temporary solution between the pipes but thinking about how long it would take for Stollie to get back to game shape once he’s finally back on the ice – what 2 weeks? More? The fact the Olympic break isn’t until Feb doesn’t help, they can’t bring Woll back from injury and immediately press him into playing 80% of the games or more without risking him re-injuring himself IMO.
Who knows maybe this is the “I am NHL ready” party for Hildabeast – it’s happened before where an NHL rookie goalie took over from established starters (if we want to call Woll and Stollie that) and never looked back. Potvin in 92/93 is the best example as he stole the net from Grant Fuhr!
Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that’s the case here at all but maybe Hildabeast is NHL ready at this point, even if it’s to be the back up to whichever of the 2 goalies the Leafs have labelled as 1A/1B is healthy because it doesn’t feel like both will be healthy at the same time ever.

Honestly, I dont think they can use Woll as a full time option ever, too fragile. He seems like a really good back up.
I know they’ll have to do what they have to do in the interim until Stolarz gets healthy which looks to be mid January, now. But long term, I dont believe Woll is a viable starter….hes great….but often injured, cant be relied on.I’ve really liked his game since coming to the Leafs, quiet and effective.

I’ll hope for a healthy Stollie / Woll combo or a Hidaby / Woll or Stollie combo – I mean what else can you do right now?
so McMann is “suspended from further competition until the commissioner has ruled on the issue.“ His hearing is on Tuesday for high-sticking

Oh Im not suggesting to give up on him (trade him etc), I just dont think with everyone healthy, he’s a reliable 1B option. Unless he turns his health around, I think the leafs have to plan for him to be a back up.
Also, is it me…or do the leafs have a problem keeping goalies healthy? Andersen, Campbell, Samsonov, murray, woll.
