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.[/quote]You may very well be right about WOLL but I think he’s too young to give up on at this point and the last thing you want is to do so and watch him go and flourish elsewhere. 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?
Troy Stetcher has been a good pick up so far….from the hightlights Ive seen.

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.
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
Don’t look now, but the Leafs are 3pts out of a playoff spot with a game in hand.
Oh but the sky is falling
GGGRRRRrr………
The incel twins can’t derp hard enough or often enough in here eh? lol
I’m sincerely reaching the point where I hope the leafs don’t win a cup til Marner retires and gets hired as their GM so he can fucking fail too just so UG SHUTS THE FUCK UP
Hey everyone, I’m still thinking that was a solid win over the Pens by the Leafs 👍 Cheers
I agree with 2/3’s of your post Bruce.
I know you know which 2/3’s it is!!!!
🙂
Is Nylander playing?
Actually, yes. You may have noticed an incredible pass on the game tying goal where if he was wearing #16 you would have jizzed in your pants.
Oh, and he also scored the game winner in OT.
Are you actually surprised? Maybe he missed the Willy display of awesomeness simply due to the fact he was rage pounding his pud after watching Marner miss on the shootout and cost his team a point, not even what a week after coughing up that muffin in OT to – yet cost his team another point?
Vegas has 5 more points & the same # of regulation wins than the Leafs in the same # of games.
Vegas has 5 more OLT points – that’s the difference.
I don’t remember hearing that Vegas had 7 starters out at any given point in the season. Maybe the chicken little crowd needs to chill out a bit?
Great to see Wonder Woll have himself a game and some of the regulars back in the line up.
On to a 5pm game tomorrow vs the Caps – it would be nice if they could go on a bit of a heater.

The Leafs simply couldn’t afford to keep both if they wanted to build a more balanced roster (despite JT taking an incredibly team friendly deal and performing well beyond the value for what he is being paid – suck it UG you meat stick) which pretty much everyone agreed they needed to do at this point (yes many said it much earlier and have proven to be right).Now if they have or have not accomplished building said more balanced roster so far is a whole different topic of discussion but the injuries have really impacted this team so far this year – a point that the chicken little types here just seem to ignore entirely.
The numbers so far tell us that the entire Willy is selfish, lazy, and a huge defensive liability and Marner is just an elite playmaker and such a better player than Willy narrative is providing to be complete and utter bullshit so far this regular season. Maybe Willy is in fact a sniper AND an elite playmaker!
And we all know which of those 2 players was effective in games 4-7 in playoffs series in past years and which one was not.
It will be pretty interesting to see how this looks come end of the season.
Who knows Marner may win a cup in Vegas but at this point it looks like he’d be a passenger and not leading them to it.
Things can change, time will tell.
Nothing would please this Leaf fan more than to see a Toronto / Vegas cup final and watch Marner cry while Willy raises the cup lol.
Can you imagine the media circus if it was a Vegas / Leaf final?
I hear what youre saying, but.
Actually I have no interest in ever seeing vegas in the cup final…even if its to see the leafs beat them. The best would be for marner to never see a final. 🙂
Honestly two thing can be true imo. Marner is an elite reg season playmaker and Willy has turned into a great sniper and star playmaker.
As of last year, Marner still had an edge defensively over willie (i havent watched him this year) but willie has the edge on being able to handle pressure and showing up when needed.Marner is old news.
We have Willie styles for the next 6 years….someone needs to move onAnd JT is a BEAST! Anyone who suggested resigning him at a lower aav would be a mistake, is simply an idiot.
Fair points – I said it before Vegas got to a final and I still feel this way – I want that fanbase to suffer through a terrible team for several years like every other fanbase of every other team in this league has had to do, especially when new teams were introduced and used to suck for years! Vegas fans have been spoiled, they will probably always have good ‘ticket sold’ #’s because casinos etc. will always buy tickets but it would be interesting to see how many fans would be in seats game by game if they were a basement dwelling team.
JT is playing so well, and it’s hard not to see that and how Matthews has struggled and wonder if the pressure of wearing the C in Toronto has that big an impact on players? It must be nice for JT to not think “shit I have to go talk to the media for an hour after every single game all year” and just do small interviews and play hockey.

Nylander did not have to go to keep Marner. Marner was “replaced” by 3rd line plugs who not only suck but also are under performing compared to Marner. In case you haven’t noticed, you probably haven’t because you’re retarded, this team is teetering between a lottery pick and is 2nd last in the East. This is because management has completed fucked over this team, as Treliving did in Calgary, by losing one of it’s best, most elite players and replaced it with a pile of dog shit.
You can keep dreaming of watching this team beat Vegas for a Cup but at this rate, the Leafs will be tanking, drafting 1st overall while Vegas is actually being a contender. But you won’t understand what you’re watching because you’re a typical brain dead Leafs fan swallowing a meat stick.
Awwww look at what a good little doggie you are!
I rang the bell and you came running! So typcial of you to ignore the facts posted and then transition to using some of your favourite words to try and insult people showing everyone what an absolute piece of human garbage you are.
I guess I’m supposed to be all angry and upset that you called me a retard and insinuated that I’m gay or something?
Sorry but I’m not – I mean if I was a 12 year old maybe I’d be upset but even then I’m not sure I would be. I just figure that your behaviour stems from you being so unable to be articulate or speak intelligently or have any sense of decency that you continue to call people retards and the 2nd piece is likely projection at it’s finest.
Not that there is anything wrong with you being gay bud, live your life and love whomever you wanna love!
Can you read? I said if the Leafs wanted to build a more balanced roster they needed to move on from one of the 2 (because they were not going to trade Matthews & JT was going to resign for less or leave) – if they wanted to build a more balanced roster. Sorry if that’s too hard for you to understand, same as the fact that the world doesn’t operate in video game GM mode which is the other thing you seem to just not be able to grasp.
If you hate the Leafs so much why do you come here and post dog shit all day every day? Why not just stay away?
Man your life must really suck.
The fact you started a thread that nobody replied to, then posted a link to it in a reply to try and get someone to engage and got nothing only to make the incredibly pathetic move of replying to your own post in that thread to try and get attention says it all hero.
You are just so pathetic it’s just laughable.
Have a great afternoon, I hope you find some happiness.
