Player Discussion Joseph freaking Woll

I have zero faith in Woll as my #1, the guy's body is not meant to withstand the rigours of a full season. We need a 1A and a veteran #3 heading into next year.

The #3 will come in when Woll misses time with his next mystery ailment.
 
I don't know what you do when you have 2 really good goalies like this. It's a good problem to have, but I just don't know how the coaching staff will handle this. Back to Stolarz on Sunday? Has to be.

With both going the way they are, you consistently rotate during the season and pick one for the playoffs. Don't pull a Boston and rotate during a series

If Woll is healthy I would honestly go with him, but that is subject to change as we get a better picture deeper into the season. I have just not seen many bad games from this goalie so far in his early career, remaining healthy seems to be his only real flaw.

Woll will end up being the number one goalie by the end of the season.

I can see them just rotating. I think the intention was always going to be 1A/1B.
It's not hard to see this duo winning the Jennings.

Woll just feels like a goalie ya know? Feels like watching Price.

Insane athleticism, size, and fundamentals.

0 stress watching him play.
Love Woll. So many were ready to write him off as a man of glass and make Stolarz the #1, good to see Woll is winning people over again. Long way to go before the playoffs, too long to worry about who will start. So nice to have 2 goalies both playing so well though, enjoy the ride!

I'd say the exact same for Stolarz to be fair, he hasn't had a bad game since becoming a Leaf and was excellent last year as well. Injuries + opportunity have kept him back from being a 1G

It'll probably come down to who is hotter in March/April. I'm confident with either of them in the cage

He’s a long way from winning anyone over but glad he’s playing again atleast way too many rebounds and in dangerous spots not directing them to the corners but he hasn’t really had too much game action

He doesn't have to win me over, because he never lost me to begin with. SV% last playoffs was .933, so far this season it's .922, I have zero complaints.
 
But him getting hurt for game 7 and beginning of the year earned him the nickname Wolliacovo

Needs to be healthy ...
 
He made some clutch saves at key points in the first and second to allow the Leafs to get that lead

The breakaway in the first.. then a few saves late in the second off the rush.

Looks really good right now
