Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 Game 1 of Round 2

People need to calm down, we were the better team and deserved that victory

Woll was always going to do it tough in this game, he hasn't played for 2 weeks and Stolarz didn't look like he was going to give him an opportunity to play
Of course he's rusty

He will be better for having played this game and he knows he's going in the next game, he's a talented kid who's actually done pretty well in similar situations
Give him a chance

Honestly if Bennett doesn’t get at least a couple of games for deliberately targeting our starting goaltenders head I'd put somebody in with the instructions that if a game gets out of hand they have the green light to attack one of Florida's best players and try to put them out of the series

You can't let that **** stand

I think I have more faith in woll than most here. The real test is next game. I'm only concerned if its a few games and he is one of the major reasons we lose. It wasn't long ago that we all were praying for him to be the starter in game 7.

Marner get a pass for a hectic 24 hours. And what a pass on knies' goal. Matthews seemed more involved and engaged today. The bar is on the floor these days for him. But I actually didn't mind him today. Aside from that empty net that he completely missed. Almost lost my shit.

Knies and willy, I hope your pillow is cold tonight.
Same. the thing is, when Woll was dealing for stretches of the season, he was REALLY good. Like Top 3-5 in the NHL good.

The guy had no reps in 3 weeks, so he's of course going to be rusty entering mid-game against the Stanley Cup champions. One reason why I'm fairly optimistic is that he shows a solid mental game and doesn't get rattled (like some previous goalies the Leafs had in Campbell, Samsonov, etc.). He was excellent in the playoffs last year as well.
