Leafs need to address the goaltending.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

At the time I write this they are up 4-3 after 2 against Calgary.

3 goals on 19 shots that's not even an 850 performance from their goaltender.

That's been a consistent problem for Samsonov all year, and now It's become a consistent problem for Woll that's a fact and even if they win tonight that fact won't change.

A lot of people crowned Joseph Woll as the guy because he had some great games over his first and that's great when he's playing 5 or 6 games a season, now he's playing more and he's shitting the bed consistently.

Somebody is going to respond "defense" and no.

The defense is a work in progress and we all know it but when you are getting 850 or less consistently the defense is off the hook.

850 is not and NEVER will be a defense problem that 1000% strictly a goalie issue and It's time it gets addressed.

Address the dogshit defense and penalty kill first. Chicken and egg argument

Woll has a .914 with multiple games of 3+ goals allowed including a 6 spot against Ottawa.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Looks like Leafs need top 4 dmen and the goaltending will fix itself.

 

[Morlu]

This game isn’t a goalie diff. First goal was soft, Second was a snipe with a 10/10 screen by Reilly. Third goal was chest high tip.

As I post here we go. Okay, fix the goaltending.

Woll isn’t the guy. Samsonov is trash.

This team is done

Woll has an 800 for the the game, that's on Woll

 

[LeafGrief]

We had terrible defense and Freddy Andersen stood on his head for years. We need better defense, but we desperately need a goalie.

No it won't

 

[Maple Leaf]

Leafs need a new team

 

[A1LeafNation]

No it won't

These are good goalies. When you have a good defence goalies like A. Hill win cups.

 

[Bomber0104]

You don't say?

No they aren't good goalies, good goalies don't play at ECHL levels

850 is not a defense problem

Defensive mistakes lead to goals against that can lower a goalies sv% to .850

 

[TimeZone]

Agreed, defense is a big issue, but goaltending is even worse right now.

You cannot allow 2-3 trash goals a game and expect to win.

No 850 means you aren't doing your job as a goalie

I like Woll a lot! Maybe he's the future, maybe he's not but this thread is garbage and most of the nonsense in here belongs in the overreactions thread.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

No 850 means you aren't doing your job as a goalie

Ok hypothetical. If your team gives up 3 breakaways in the first period and you are down 2-0 as a result. The goalie has an .800sv%. Is the goalie to blame for being down by 2 or the 5 guys on the Ice that continue to give up breakaways?

 

[Matty Sundin]

We probably lose that game in ot or shootout if it wasn’t for Woll.

 

[Aashir]

something's gotta give though

woll lets in the weirdest goals ever.
samsonov lets in the softest butter soft goals ever

one of them has to step up and give average goaltending

defence was better tonight, no reason for calgary to be anywhere near 4 goals

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Woll is not the issue lmao he let in one bad one tonight. It happens.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Great game to build on for Woll. Kept battling.

is your hypothetical a 1 off or something that happens every night?

If It's a 1 time thing blame the defense bad games happen.

If It's happening every night and you are consistently getting under 900 goaltending, and in our case around850.

Then pull your head out of your ass, do your job as a goaltender make a f***ing save.

This isn't a 1 time thing it happens every night even when they win like tonight.

Woll is not the issue lmao he let in one bad one tonight. It happens.

It happens every night with both of them.

They both suck.

I have no confidence in either.
