Nobody should take anything from this game. Good for Woll, but the Leafs won this game on the basis of a significant talent advantage rather than playing better or working harder. They will beat Dallas on Thursday, and that will be more meaningful. This game might as well have been pre-season.

Woll was the first goalie drafted under the Shanaplan (in 2016) as Bibeau was the last goalies selected before him (in 2013).

I'm hoping Woll's development is a sign of improved goalie scouting/development in the org.

We've seen glimpses of it at the lower levels but not much payoff yet for the Leafs.

Akhtyamov and Hildeby are two recent picks that have shown some potential .. And Peksa is with the Growlers. Some names to keep an eye on. Ian Scott was another interesting name but unfortunately injuries ended his career.

Like any other position drafting more of them improves your chances of a hit. In the cap era the Leafs drafted 4 goals from 2006 to 2015. Whereas from 2016 to 2023, they've drafted 6 (almost 1 per year).

Woll kept them in it long enough for Washington to run out of energy. Could easily have been 4-1 Washington after the 1st. I hope it's understood Woll is No.1 for now.
