Some of you jump on your own players too quickly
He was the reason why we got to game 7 last year

He deserves that extension, he deserves get the benefit of the doubt

This is a great opportunity to find out what Stolarz and Hiddelby has. Win win as far as I am concerned. If he comes back, and keeps playing well, it's his net.

If he doesn't, now we know what we have in our store. As opposed to find out later in the season and not have enough time to do anything

He has played a total of 36 games in the NHL regular season, and 7 playoff games. I'm not sure that should get you an $11M contract when there is history of injuries, he played 6 years for the Marlies, and there was not a single season without injury.

There should have been no rush to sign him when he was still under contract this year. Could have just as easily be done during the season.

I'm not saying he's not a capable goalie, when on ice he has proven it. But he needs to be available to play.

Hope he's ready for the back to backs next week. I hope when he does come back it's not like last year where he struggled to regain his form coming back from injury.

Injuries are unpredictable. Everyone likes to think they can predict them, “this guy is made of glass,” “this guy is an Ironman,” but it’s easy to say this with hindsight, while we’re often wrong looking forward. The same logic writing off Woll today would’ve written off early-career Patrice Bergeron, mid-career Crosby, or Jeff Skinner a few years ago.

Woll’s a very good goalie, hopefully he can get healthy. In the meantime we’ve got Stolarz and Hildeby, which I’m actually fine with as a stopgap tandem.

Do I know for a fact that Woll will get healthy? Of course not. But neither do the haters know that he’ll stay perpetually injured. Injuries are unpredictable, full stop.

There’s a difference between getting injured from repeat concussion-causing headshots vs getting injured in practice or on routine plays with minimal external influence. If someone ran him in a game and concussed him a few times, sure you get him some bigger defense and keep the crease clear. You can’t do anything to protect the guy from himself.
