He had the ankle injury while on rehab.

There's absolutely no chance that he missed more time because of that injury ?

What difference does that make?

You’re just arguing to argue. I get it, you don’t like Joseph Woll.

All goalies suffer injuries. Carey Price is still being paid by the Habs while being injured. Maybe that’s why you’re bitter towards injured goalies?

Very funny when you consider from who it's coming.

A lack of self-awareness maybe ?

I have nothing against Woll.

I'm unhappy that the Leafs MIGHT (finally !) have a good goalie.

Just like you're probably happy that Price (finally !) had a long-term injury after carrying the team oh his shoulders in the 2021 plyoffs.

Probably not, but they’re a fun team so it would be nice to see them win a round or two.

fans would all be served by watching this evaluation of Leafs play overall. this content provider is a fair and intelligent analyst of NHL hockey...they have zero stake in LEafs themselves. Great analysis in general.

P.S. it will make you feel better about Keefe as a coach, and his system approach.

No don’t think so with this defense and goalie

Haven't you heard? As of a week or so ago Martin Jones had the best sv% in the NHL. That it was a tiny sample size and he'd almost exclusively played bad teams wasn't relevant. He only passed through waivers at the start of the season due to the leafs jedi mind tricks, not because he's been terrible for years.

His points were on full display in todays game.

Both teams so unstructured.

Do we just get together after every Leafs loss and say a collective “no” to keep this thing going or…? Hasn’t the question been answered sufficiently by now?

It's a sort of "go to your room thread," which works well enough but maybe not as well as it could for keeping petty back-and-forth arguments quarantined.

You can't have Brodie and that fossil Gio back there man. Especially Gio. Nevermind the goaltending issues (Still have to see how Woll plays long term), but that D. No way. Even forward depth. They have been diluted over and over again since a few playoffs ago.

They really screwed up against Columbus and then against MTL

Not even close, oilers with a win tonight will jump the leafs in the standings. That’s a hell of a head start only to fumble it

On either 32 thoughts or hockey day in Canada Elliot Freedman was commenting that the more he thought about the Nylander signing, the more he thinks it was long term.

Basically knowing this year is a write off, and Nylander will be a piece to build around as they do a mini reset in the next 2 years. And that don’t expect them to go all in for the play offs.

starting to wonder if keefe's worst mistake is to not trust his core 4 to play more responsibly?

that they can hang back, prevetn all goals and snipe more than running gunningthroughout their shifts?

straw grasping really. I don't really recognize much Keefe systems at play, in off or def zones.
