He was solid even in the first when he got beat 3 times. Could have been much worse.

Thise 2 Domi giveaways right in front of him... could be a back breaker

Leafs down 3-0 and Habs hit the crossbar, McMann goes the other way and scores to get the Leafs on the board.

If that shot goes in it is 4-0 and who knows how it ends.

Some great saves tonight

I like his resilience despite his recent struggles. A lot of carry the load with Stolarz injured but he’s fared well. Really his first crack at a full time gig. Lots of development to be had here.

That dive in the 3rd was a save-of-the-year candidate. Just awesome to watch! I had doubts last season. I don't have any now. Woll is legit!

Goaltending is such a strength this season.

That save was ridiculous.

 

[Suntouchable13]

24 starts now on the season, we are heading into the unknown with him now. 23 starts was the career high previously in his short NHL career so far. I have liked what I have seen, though. Some downs here and there, and I'd like to see him higher than .907 but he has had several highs also. He is coming along nicely, imo.

I didn’t really like his game lately and thought the control and focus wasn’t there, early goals, etc. but the last two periods in Montreal he looked like a money goalie who wouldn’t break. Give him a lot of credit for that.

He's gotten all the hard workload after Stolarz went down. The team hasn't looked great in the last month either. Woll has been really keeping us alive even if the save % is down.

From a trust standpoint he's earned in between the pipes. Health wise, yeah he's proving it as well.

No goaltender is perfect. Even the best allow some weak goals from time to time. We've been spoiled this year with great goaltending performances and any less than that we lose our minds it feels like. We need that kind of goaltending with how the team has been playing lately, especially defensively.

The team infront of the goaltenders need to be better. The start of that game was awful and can't happen, but a game is 60 minutes for a reason.

Grant Fuhr-like performance from Woll last night. Bent but then shut the door as the Leafs won an eighties-style game.

I have no worries about Woll. Incredible blend of positioning, technical skills, athleticism and humbless. Hes fun to watch. Hes a better goalie than Stolarz which I think we will see as they play more games.

Seeing that diving save and him wearing the Cujo tribute mask, made the play that much more fun. Even though DaveArt butchered it as he usually does with masks.
