I’m old enough to remember when people were shitting all over the Laughton deal and I told them to give him a little time. Now he’s fitting like a magnum condom on the 12″ veiny dildo that UG and Eggs Benny share.
Still not worth 1st and b prospect.
Playing much better though, so thats good to see.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?[/quote]
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.
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.[/quote]
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.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.
Gonna be a tight raceNo to Tucker and Bregman
In Popkins and Walker we trust 💙
Yes to tucker for the right price, but not at the expense of Bo (unless they get Marte). Tucker has a 4.5 WAR, jays need quality OF.
Having two rookies in net long term is a big risk. They should probably call Reimer back and start looking for goalies with NHL experience unless they want Boston to draft as high as possible.
Stolarz injury was worse than expected and while Woll is “only” out 1 week, that could be worse too given the history.[/quote]
Forgot reimer.
Stolarz has over 150 games, hardly a rookie anymore.
The issue isnt having young goalies or a rookie goalie in Woll, its that woll isnt reliable. Every time the leafs need him, he gets injured.
