Injury Report: Joe Woll - High Ankle Sprain - Feb 26: Recalled from conditioning stint

[Strangle]

Vejmelka from Arizona would be a decent target if this is season ending. Not having a great year - but was very good in the last few years. ​

Would allow the Leafs to move on from Samsonov next year if he performs alright.

If the oilers didn’t sign Campbell to that insane f***ing contract, I’d consider bringing him back.

But not for anything over $1m

Even if he was healthy, which he isn't, not sure they have the cap room to be able to activate him from IR.

The situation is so convoluted, I don’t even pretend to spend brain power on figuring it out.

I just ask you guys lol

Thank you, but pridham can make the cap dance for us and figure anything out if the will to make it happen is there

I have faith in Jones. More than Samsanov

 

[SherVaughn30]

Looked alot like acl

Agreed. As a goalie myself I had a grade 2 sprain of MCL and I had to use crutches right away. Since I didn't have professional care like a pro athlete, I was out for months. Even with a severe groin injury, you can walk on it with street clothes, but gingerly.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Hildeby time?

Maybe give Niemela a taste too?

I don't think so. His rebound control is an adventure at this point.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Mine never fully healed. I have to watch what I'm doing or ill tweak it. Been like that for over 30 years.

If you wear sports groin wrap, it helps support it. Pulled my groin multiple times as a goalie. It wasn't severe enough that I needed surgery, but I could actually play with it using a groin wrap. Applying hot and cold can help a groin heal sooner along with rest of it.

I have faith in Jones. More than Samsanov

Even though Jones had an .870 SV% at the AHL level?

Respectfully disagree. Samsonov saved our season last year. Signing Matt Murray was a joke. There is no doubt Samsonov is off to a slow start but I'll take him over a nearly washed up Jones.

If Sammy gets his head together, then the Leafs might be okay. That is a big if. Sammy had the same goalie mental aspect issues with the Caps. He's always had the physical tools you would want in a goalie, but his mental game is so unpredictable.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Do we have any news on this yet? It’s been well over 24 hours.

 

[Leafs98]

First I thought everyone was a hockey gm on this board. Now it appears everyone is a doctor.

I Bet the MRI is revealing a whole lot of stuff not even caused by the injury. Look there's a small labrum tear, but whats that on his knee ? Maybe they cant figure it out yet.

IF Woll is out for any extended period of time, Jones will take the net. Samsonov is absolutely terrifying in goal.

Woll has 100% already been seen by the Ortho Surgeon and they know exactly what the injury is. Not sure why the Leafs PR has not updated the media yet. Hoping for a sprain/slight tweak that will be a quick heal.

 

[Paulinbc]

I heard massive indigestion

Stop.

Pooping.

 

[bax]

Wonder if Sammy has a different outlook now that he doesn’t have a better goalie competing against him for the net.

 

[Stephen]

Even if he was healthy, which he isn't, not sure they have the cap room to be able to activate him from IR.

Is it feasible that Murray goes back in the net?

I was just kidding.

 

[Magic Man]

You don't come back from Robidas Island.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

You only go as far as your goalie brings you.

So if Woll is gone the rest of the year Treliving better be getting a good goalie. He better get a good backup too. If he knew what was good for him he would be doing these things and he would be doing them quickly.

Procrastinating on the goaltending position is what brought the team to this point in the first place.

Treliving already has the worst goalie in the league last year. Next I expect he'll try signing "the best goalie not in the NHL". Whoever the hell that is.

Probably some Russian nobody ever heard of.

Until Treliving shoves a $5M contract under his snoot. The only problem with bringing in "the best goalie not in the NHL" is that there are at least 31 goalies better than him. That's why they're already in the NHL.

While this chump has been playing in the gulags of Siberia the whole time.

This makes no sense.

We could have prime Scotty Bowman running this team and you’d still complain.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't think so. His rebound control is an adventure at this point.

As is Woll's which is one of the major reasons I'm not fully sold on Woll.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not a chance

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

If you think Samsonov and Jones are gonna carry this team to a Stanley cup then you have more faith in the goaltending than I do.

Not sure what Scotty Bowman has to do with saving pucks. If you had said prime Patrick Roy in net it would have made more sense. I might have still found something to complain about.

But at least it wouldn't have been the goaltending.

 

[Legion34]

He has had a lot of injuries correct?

 

[Al14]

Exactly, if Samsonov wasn't his own WORST enemy, he would still be a Washington Capital,

The Caps chose to NOT qualify Samsonov because they could never trust his mental game.

Even when he's playing at his very best, he is still has a penchant for allowing bad goals at the wrong times.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

See you guys in a few weeks

 

[hotpaws]

You don't come back from Robidas Island.

no one wants too !

beach front condo on a secluded island or damp shitty winters in Toronto

 

[andora]

That was an ankle?... derr

 

[fahad203]

See you guys in a few weeks

This is the best possible news. Wish him the best recovery

Jones is very capable back up. He can fill in.
