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

[meefer]

Man, the team needs Woll back desperately. They are literally f***ed if Jones can not hold the fort until he is back. Samsonov is a write off.

And yet somehow they managed to get three out of four points against the two best teams in the Metro, literally, 3 outta 4.

yeah i've been pleasantly surprised that the goaltending hasnt cratered since Woll's injury.

With Woll they would have beaten Isles too a shame. Sorokin was good, better than Sammy basically the difference.

Maybe, maybe not, it's not something one can say with certainty. Yes, Sorokin was better.

no one can complain about Samsonov/Jones tandem thus far, I thought they would be much worse, hopefully they can hold the fort until Woll’s return? Maybe then we’ll see who of the two should stay with the big club……….

Barring injury, there is no rational choice to be made between Samsonov and Jones. The latter will be back in the AHL. The hand-wringing over Samsonov is akin to the way people were moaning over Matthews. Give the guy some games and he will be back in .915 form.

Can’t come back soon enough.

Our sketchy team relies on a minimum wage newbie.

Now that’s poorly constructed

Woll was drafted in 2016 and developed in house.

Some teams rely on their keeper.

I wasn't as concerned about Jones as much as some.

He wasn't horrible in Seattle.

He's a veteran NHLer playing on a team with firepower. He at least has some established history and has played over 400 games. He's usually over .900.

Jones is probably better than Samsonov and less of a risk overall.

I have to agree, Jones is more trustworthy, last night was how I see games going with Samsonov in net, he’s got the goaltender yips, when his head ain’t right he’s bad……….

 

[Peasy]

If Jones can give the leafs just about .900sv% goaltending then theyre cruising.

Samsonov just looks like a repeat of Campbell.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I wish the Isles would just give us Sorokin like they did Tavares.

That man deserves much better than that garbage team in front of him

JT for Sorokin straight up

Said today:

Joseph Woll is not close to returning from a high ankle sprain, an injury he suffered in Ottawa against the Senators on Dec. 7.

He is probably gone for the season. A couple more months at the very least. That explains why they tried to kick-start Samsonov so hard.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

We’ve been touch and go on talking about the severity of Wolls injuring.

I think it’s a lingering one, they want no part in rushing - especially considering the maple leafs (team D) are great at ensuring netminders over extend themself.

lol week to week eh? f***ing bs. He’s done for the year.

Curse continues

It's been 3 weeks since he got injured. Original time line was 6-8 weeks. If it hits the 8 weeks mark and there's still no progress then maybe get concerned then.

If this was comedy, I'd be impressed. Your ridiculous expectations for a high ankle sprain has now raised your blood pressure to boiling point.

 

[shaner8989]

8 weeks is not week to week that’s month to month. He’s not even on skates or made any progress tnay we know of. He’s done for along ass time. We have no goalie. We are in shambles

 

[HamiltonNHL]

We are in shambles

As usual, your hot takes are more hyperbole than reality.

 

[LeafsStorm]

With the impressive play of Woll and what I've read as him having injuries in the past, my educated guess is that they will take their time with his return.

Looks like right now it's Jones as the "starter" and Hildeby backing.

I don't expect Samsonov to return to form (if he can) before Woll returns.

I'm thinking a goalie acquisition is cooking..

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Does Woll make it back by February? or is he out til near end of season? Thanks gents for update .. i am on a siesta down south

 

[tom leafers]

Any chance Matt Murray can come off LTIR? lol.

Thank god for jones posting solid numbers or we would be all the way up shit creek
