Big big LEAFS win 4-3...méconnaissables .....impliqués avec une belle confiance qui les transporte....and WOLL was on the spot.....now GO JETS,
2024-2025 NHL season
- Thread starter snakejack
- Start date
Huge win for the Leafs & the Piano Man was great between the pipes! Nylander was a beast once again & is now tied with McJesus in playoffs scoring! Another big game for veteran & former habs captain Max Pacioretty & all & all a great team effort by the Leafs! As for the Panthers their best player was once again Brad Marchand & Bob Bobrovski was rather ordinary once again. Sam Bennett & Sam Reinhart have been very ordinary so far & if Florida is to advance all of the players i mentioned will have to raise their game a notch! With Woll being extremely solid between the pipes i don’t expect the Leafs to rush Tony Stolarz until he’s 100% healty or it’s desperation hockey.
Turns out you just needed to take a deep breath and relax! BTW I would not say Woll was great. But he was a lot better than Bobrovsky, and that is all that he needs to be! Toronto made the wise decision to "roll with Woll" and let Stolarz recover from his concussion, however long it takes.

I said “Yikes” from learning that Matt Murray would be the backup. Like Murray the Piano Man has been prone to getting injured & especially at the worse time. Last season he was playing fantastic hockey against the Bruins in their playoffs series (i attended every single game in that series) when suddenly he suddenly declared that he was injured & a no-go just before game 7 & the Leafs had to put the erratic Samsonov between the pipes. Boston won in overtime on a goal by David Pastrnak on a goal where Samsonov misread the play. Woll also pulled the same thing just prior to their opening game vs Montreal this season. We never did find out what his mystery ailment was in both cases. Fortunately for the Leafs he didn’t get injured again this season & actually played more games than Stolarz did. Stolarz has also been injury prone throughout his career & this season was no exception which is why Piano Man played more games than he did. By the way is there a goalie more handsome than Joseph Woll in the NHL? He’s in the same league as hockey great Hank Lundqvist! What two beautiful species!
As for Bob he’s back to being the Bob of the regular season. But i have a feeling that Conn Smyth’s team will be facing a different beast in Sunrise. The likes of Reinhart, Bennett & Tkachuk have been fairly invisible so far in this series & the Brad Marchand line has been carrying the load.
By the way stats indicate that a team losing the first two playoffs games on the road only have a 20.2 % to come back & win a series. Guess what the stats are for a team who loses both opening games at home? 11.3%.
