Leafs need to address the goaltending.

[namttebih]

What does this mean? Not following.

I'm reading it as 2 forwards account for 36%of scoring, 3 for 47%, etc.

Pretty much the same as the last 5 years if I had to guess

 

[notbias]

Woll is a very good backup, he's a good for 30-35 games, perhaps In a year or 2 that may change. Goaltending is still a concern.

That backup is currently rocking a .915% and competing with Sorokin, Shesterkin, and Hellebuyck.

No clue what people expect out of Woll, but he is playing well overall, he has just had a few stinkers, but he's looked good to me.

There are currently 10 goalies with 10+ games and a better sv%. Who should we target?

My question would be how do you develop a goalie and give them experience if you've made your mind up this quickly on a young goaltender.

If you want to develop a homegrown goaltender, you are going to have to go through bumps and bruises early on, whether it's Joseph Woll or a blue chipper taken in the 1st round.

I look at as he has strengths and is already saving the team's ass but has some weaknesses he needs to work on, which comes with time. If he can work on those weaknesses, he will be a starting goaltender. At worst at the moment, he's already a capable backup, which is great considering how early it is in his NHL career.

Go look up Thatcher Demko from 2017-2018 to 2019-2020, looks pretty similar to Woll. In fact, if Woll mirrored Demko's 2020-2021 season, I'd be thrilled and I'm sure the Leafs brass would be as well. I'm sure the Canucks brass are thrilled they didn't give up on Demko up to that point.

Woll had a bad night but is still a promising young 1B type. If he were in a tandem with a consistent and reliable vet things would mostly be fine but we got Samsonov instead, so.

"...a bad night"???
I saw superhuman goaltending during the OT. The guy makes lowest wage of all 50 Leaf roster contracts. WTF do you people want?

 

[horner]

What do I want him to do? stop that Pasta shot because from where that was shot He's got to have that.

Here is another thing I'd like him to do, get his rebounds under control, right now he's a rebound machine, every goalie gives up rebounds but not like Joseph Woll does, he's gives up rebounds like he's a store owner having a clearance sale and every rebound has got to go.

He's got to cut down on the rebounds.

He seems to have alot of high danger chances against , that could be part of it as well.
Once we get a strong defense then we will see.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Vasy is also a HOF goalie, coming off major surgery he gets to have a bad game, or even a bad season given the circumstances.

Woll and are not the same.

Vasy gets slack Woll doesn't get because Vasy has earned it.

This makes zero sense. Woll should get much more slack for his youth than Vasi should for any reason.

 

[Lightsol]

He is going to have bad nights, no goaltender stops everything but the kid is winning games whilst Samsonov can't stop a beach ball and half our defense core is injured

One of the more popular names that gets thrown around as an acquisition target is Connor Hellebuyck. But I remember multiple games he's played against the Leafs where they've scored 3 or 4 on him quick and the Jets were forced to go to the backup. By LeafFan's criteria, that would make him a bum who needs to go...

 

[Lightsol]

My question would be how do you develop a goalie and give them experience if you've made your mind up this quickly on a young goaltender.

Obviously LeafFan thinks we should use Montreal's technique; call up a rookie and throw him into the fire in the playoffs and if he blows it, get rid of him and do it again until it works. I mean, it worked for Dryden and Roy, right? (and no one remembers the multiple guys it didn't work for around the emergence of those two...)

They want to pay William Nylander 11 and expect a great goalie to come cheap.

If we had Vasi people would something to complain about.
We have a young 25 yr old goaltender playing behind a below average D.
We also have Hildeby who looks great could be ready within the next 2 yrs.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Joseph Woll... that is all.

 

[tmlms13]

[1specter]

Well, unless Jones goes on a run or Samsonov magically gets his shit together we might be f***ed. Call up Hildebeast? Lol

 

[MarMarSab3]

Hildebeast come on down

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Once again the Leafs need to score 4 to win.

JK. Just thought I'd post it for the OP.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I have high hopes for Woll but any player, especially a goalie, that's dealt with that many injuries in his early 20s is a bad omen for long term durability.

Before you consign the guy to the scrap heap, shouldn't we first find out if this is nothing more than a strain or sprain?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This Isn't what I meant when I wrote the the thread but depending on how bad that injury is, and Woll couldn't walk off under his own power, yeah they might need to address their goaltending.

I don't think anyone here or in man really trusts Samsonov/Woll as a tandem.

That is a problem but I kind of figured once Jones came in cold Ottawa was getting 1.

 

[Budz]

I’m not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Gonna guess and say MCL strain 4-6 weeks.

 

[peconcan]

If Woll is out long term we need to trade for a legit starter

 

[Evilhomer]

That can happen with a simple MCL sprain because the knee feels like it will give out if you put pressure on the leg. It could be something as simple as two weeks of rest, and nothing more. Seeing the way he got hurt makes me think it's an MCL issue. I didn't see the violent twisting motion that you normally see with an ACL tear.

 

[fancy lad]

I thought Jones looked good. better than good actually

obviously vezina material, but he’s better than mrazek so that’s something .

Do you do house calls?
