I think it's a good idea. If he's healthy give him the net against the Blues as opposed to Boston or the Jets. Hopefully the team in front of him shows up.

Woll is from St Louis so I would think they'll give him the game if at all possible.

With four semi-tough games remaining this month it’d be nice to get a game out of him.

Looking forward to Woll coming back and putting together a run of games to quiet the narrative. Of course, more than likely he is very rusty and looks not as good as Stolarz so we have people calling him an AHLer after the game.

Screw that. Leafs just face planted for the first time this season and need a bounce back game.

Woll was not ready for Game 7 and Game 1 over some injury issues nobody has been transparent about and I am in no mood to give him the vanity game if he couldn't go for two more important games for the team. He plays when he's ready and when the Leafs see fit to give him a chance.

Yes, he'll play when he's ready. Not sure why anyone would think differently.

No. He plays when a) he's ready willing and capable and b) the Leafs decide to give him the start. Team's choice.

Any players playing is the teams choice.
You feel he's telling them when he's playing?

He wouldn't be 'ready' if he wasn't 'willing and capable'.

You would assume the leafs are gonna play hard for Berube against his former team who fired him...but then I saw what we did to the devils last week and I think anything is possible

My feeling is Woll has been elite when available, but inexplicably unavailable in big moments and it's frustrating. Standing on the outside it's hard to really understand these 3 week muscle issues, and when you factor in the last minute tweak in the last second of Game 6, he's basically not been able to play for something like six months, minus scrimmages, preseason periods here and there after a full summer off. These timelines aren't really all that typical and the lack of information makes it worse.

So I'm in zero mood to give this guy the hometown start if he's feeling good just because the game is in St. Louis.

They play almost every other day in Dec so they’ll need Woll (and Murray) to be ready.

Dreger: ‘Woll is doubtful for Thursday’s game’ - Video - TSN

Bryan Hayes and Jeff O’Neill are joined by TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger to discuss the Maple Leafs goaltending situation, how the rotation might work over the next few games and who’s decision will it be when Joseph Woll returns.

Classic Dreger reporting. Basically just says 'this may or may not happen' for every possible scenario so that he's never actually 'wrong'.

The game is here but if he's feeling good, he's feeling good.

They'll give him the start if he's ready. They made the early decision to commit to him last offseason, and not letting him play now because he wasn't able to play before isn't going to help him stay healthy or good. Teams don't have these weird personal vendettas against players for getting injured.
