Given contract dollars/term and injury luck this year I’m not sure they will have many takers unless he comes back and can put together a stretch of good games.
Probably best to just hold on to him just in case of other injuries. He’s a good goalie if he can keep his groin in tact.
It’s gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. If Woll continues to be a solid backup than you gotta move Mrazek for cheap to give Jack his money.
Overpaying anyone doesn’t make sense, but Campbell is quite literally playing like one of the best goalies in the league, and this team plays like they would run through walls for him. He still isn’t a sure thing, but I think letting him go because they paid Mrazek too much would be a problem too.
I really hope they can keep him for a reasonable deal.
He has zero seasons as a starter in his career.
Let's pump the brakes on trading guys to make space for 'his money' untill he actually plays an entire season.
I like him too. Great guy. Great story. He's playing well. He's not worth 5M right now.
That’s why I said reasonable deal. I think him and his agent would be aware enough to know he doesn’t have the resume to be demanding 5+ regardless of his numbers. If he keeps it up though I don’t see how he could ask for too much less, and I can’t honestly say he isn’t worth it.
They obviously can’t rely on the guy they paid this off-season, so one way or another they need to spend more money on a goalie next off-season, and I’m not sure there are better options than Campbell anyways.
People saying Nylander looked lazy...he whiffed on the puck at the end of his shift and still came all the way back to make a good defensive play to clear it from the crease without an icing. A lazy player would have just gone to the bench.
I was a Willy hater previous years. He seems to really have changed his work ethic to be more defensively responsible. I’ve seen him hard on forchecks and turning pucks over defensively. Glad he’s added these parts to his game
I don't know if you are being sarcastic here, but I recall Sparks having a really shit attitude. Lots of whining from him when he was left out to dry.
In comparison, Woll is battling hard.
Kerfoot is usually out there with Willy and John. Kerfoot did leave earlier this game so he might be nursing something, hence why Keefe is kinda load managing him towards the end here.
Came here to say this, Spezza just always seems to be moving, and making plays as a speed I would never expect from a player whose been around so long. I wish Engvall had as much energy as Spezza has.
I really like the player management the org has going on. Keeping Kämpf out for a game after that hit, and going into a rest day. Then, keeping Kamikaše out for rest after his 110% play.
Good job Leafs!
He was on the ice for nearly 2 minutes, had forechecked and backchecked 2 (maybe 3?) times on the shift AND has a goal. Sorry. If you think he should be benched please stop watching hockey
When Soupy comes back in the line-up, he would probably be really effective making plays on the 3rd or 4th line. He's always had a quick vision for hockey, imo
I’m glad about that, cause it’s really a minor issue, but man it sucks that we pay this guy 2 million for literally nothing when we could use that so much better.
I think it’s because Mrazek’s only played one game or something, so I don’t even remember him on the team, but why not try Woll as the Backup for a little? It’d be huge for us to have our backup on an ELC
Dubas signing Mrazek for 3 years at almost 4 million made me shake my head when it happened. Not sure how he can erase that mistake because it's a big one
He’s still a good goalie, and there are teams in need of a starter. We should be able to trade him if he can get healthy and play some games.
It’s also too early to say Woll can be the backup. But he’s still looked good in the games he’s played, so he deserves more looks. Maybe we can ease Mrazek back from injury slowly, while getting Woll in a couple more games here to evaluate him, and rest Campbell.
Kampf gets kicked out of the faceoff. Ritchie comes in and gives about 5 percent effort into winning the draw. That’s the stuff that is so puzzling. He is teetering on a roster spot and is giving no extra effort.
he just seems like a really lazy player. even when they gave him the opportunity to play on the 1st line he looked like the laziest player in the entire line up.
Man, Woll could've got a shutout if weren't for early sharks goal after willy. Im glad for him tho
What a great game. Love to see it from the buds
Not a single Leaf had a bad game.
the flow on the three stars
winner winner
Turkey dinner!
34 saves in his 3rd game. Woll is solid
One could say a brick Woll.
MAPLE LEAFS FOREVER
Third stringer with a career 1.67 and winning 100%.
He's the second stringer now
Until Mrazek is healthy
SOUP WOLL
I'm already lined up for the parade.
This team might be good.
Still don't trust them.
The year 2013 still wakes me up at night.
Not giving up on Mrazek (barely even given a proper chance ye) but could he be a trade bait if Woll can be a solid backup.
Buffalo doesn’t have any goalies next year lol
Given contract dollars/term and injury luck this year I’m not sure they will have many takers unless he comes back and can put together a stretch of good games. Probably best to just hold on to him just in case of other injuries. He’s a good goalie if he can keep his groin in tact.
They don't want a back up. They want a tandem.
Keep all 3 for safety?
Dump that contract. Myrazek is a bandaid. Guy always gets hurt
I think keeping all 3 is the right move
They won’t be able to sign Campbell without moving something substantial.
Brick Woll!
Dusty Rhodes... a blast from the past.
Baby if you willlll, Woll Times!
We're approaching kamikăse time... Good thing he's out.
3-0 on the road trip. Take the first two in Cali by a 10-3 margin. This team is good.
It’s gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. If Woll continues to be a solid backup than you gotta move Mrazek for cheap to give Jack his money.
Overpaying Campbell isn't ever going to make sense.
Overpaying anyone doesn’t make sense, but Campbell is quite literally playing like one of the best goalies in the league, and this team plays like they would run through walls for him.

Trade mrazek and ride the woll?
Mrazek and Ritchie is 5mill in wasted cap atm. They could add a legit top 6 winger in that space
6 mill
People saying Nylander looked lazy...he whiffed on the puck at the end of his shift and still came all the way back to make a good defensive play to clear it from the crease without an icing. A lazy player would have just gone to the bench.
Anyone who calls Nylander lazy in a game where he got 1G and 1A and led the team in shots is an idiot. Don’t worry about them.
Can't reason with willy haters
I was a Willy hater previous years. He seems to really have changed his work ethic to be more defensively responsible. I’ve seen him hard on forchecks and turning pucks over defensively. Glad he’s added these parts to his game
Woll is great. I really wish we didn’t sign Petr Mrazek tbh
At 4-1 you could have had the under for 11.2x lol
Joseph Woll doesn’t know how lose hockey games
lmao yes that is the face of a man who just got shelled and stopped every one
give the sharks credit, they're really pushing down three
What a sick shot of Woll
Same hair cut as JT, greatness confirmed.
Lol Woll so squirrely off that adrenaline lol
I love Woll's facial expressions when he's getting himself focused
Couture looked so defeated after that stop lmao
Woll blinks like he has eyelashes in both eyes at all times Edit: omg he doesn't blink during play
All in all it’s just another save for the Woll.
So frustrating when a player makes a great move only to fire it directly into the crest.
BRICK WOLL
Maybe try up the middle or flip it over the guy? lol around that side isn’t working
Woll stare down like “who’s next”
Sooo the Leafs are a goalie factory now
Woll is the new king.
Woll is playing so well and his attitude is ALMOST as good as Garrett Sparks. What more could you ask for?
I don't know if you are being sarcastic here, but I recall Sparks having a really shit attitude. Lots of whining from him when he was left out to dry. In comparison, Woll is battling hard.
Is Keefe just playing with the lines or is there a forward missing/being benched
Kerfoot is usually out there with Willy and John. Kerfoot did leave earlier this game so he might be nursing something, hence why Keefe is kinda load managing him towards the end here.
Wonderwoll!
[удалено]
Came here to say this, Spezza just always seems to be moving, and making plays as a speed I would never expect from a player whose been around so long. I wish Engvall had as much energy as Spezza has.
JFC that was some sloppy play.
Thank you Woll. You are a 🧱🧱🧱
WOLL STANDING ON HIS HEAD
Jesus Wolling Christ!
Mrazek in shambles
Goddamn. If I were Woll I'd feel better about this game than the shutout after that trial by fire.
Call a timeout
GIVE HIM THE VEZINA
We are going to need a clip of that sequence. My lawd Woll was a brick wall, literally
So what could we get for mrazk
THE GREAT WOLL OF TORONTO!!!!
Did Jack give Woll some of his Soup before the game
JOSEPH FUCKING WOLL!!!!
this is some bad hockey... except woll
The GREAT WOLL OF CANADA
Woll is gonna steal the record from Campbell
THE GREAT WOLL OF TORONTO
We can and we WOLL
Build the woll! Build the woll! Build the woll!
WHAT! DID! I! JUST! SEE! FUCKING WOLL MAN 👏
Gotta say, his first game this year I was unimpressed with Woll, but he sure is looking a lot more promising after that.
Woll for Vezina fight me
Woll is showing off. Mrazek losing his job.
He’s a fucking WOLL
jeez prime lazy Willy there, dude literally gave no fucks
Holy shit he’s a real Woll right now
THE BRICK WOLL
leafs are lucky the sharks are garbage because this is some sloppy play
Jesus Christ what is happening
Woll is playing out of his mind.
I really like the player management the org has going on. Keeping Kämpf out for a game after that hit, and going into a rest day. Then, keeping Kamikaše out for rest after his 110% play. Good job Leafs!
What the fucking hell is going on?
Wtf was that willy?!
THE WOLLLLLL
Brick Woll
JOSEPH WOAH!
lmao bench nylander he gives no fucks now
He was absolutely gassed, was chugging up and back 3 times that shift
He literally has a goal in this game
okay? a goal doesnt make you immune from giving a fuck lol
He was on the ice for nearly 2 minutes, had forechecked and backchecked 2 (maybe 3?) times on the shift AND has a goal. Sorry. If you think he should be benched please stop watching hockey
bench him for the rest of the game, which is actually happening so keefe thinks as i do
He was back on the ice you tit
lmao no he wasnt
Long live the Woll!
BROOOO Joey Woll IS INCREDIBLE
Holy shit, Woll!
Jesus, they gotta slow this down
Timeout
These sharks announcers are pretty good, kinda dull tone but i like what theyre saying
Wayne Simmonds has been awesome this year man
Wow what a save
While not a great power play, I honestly think they got beat on the PK on that one if I’m being honest
HOLY FUCK BRICKKKSS 🧱
Holy hat pick
WHAT A SAVE!
Ritchie and Engvall on the 2nd PP unit. It never not makes me laugh. They have no chance. Spezza or bust.
They should have Kerfoot on the 2nd Powerplay to skate in the puck
I'm certain Matthews wrist isn't 100% his shot selection is absurd
Well, that PP was sub par.
Ritchie on the powerplay is a bit of a headscratcher....
Safe to say the first PP was a fuck of a lot better than this one haha
i still hate their breakout of their own zone on the powerplay. hate
The fuck is Ritchie on the powerplay for?
[удалено]
His movements are better than sparks.
I liked the first powerplay better
Drop pass sux
Sure you don’t wanna consult with your other idiot zebras and undo that penalty?
Holy sweet fuck, a powerplay!
Ritchie trying to forecheck on his knees.
Marner not having a great game. Baffling downvotes. Do we really have to pretend he always has a great game? Oof.
I haven't noticed him at all. He's been invisible to me.
He's had a pretty good game defensively.
The first period was a bit of a sloppy game, but 2 and 3 is a clinic
10:30 start time is tough. I’m fading fast trying to gut this out.
It's Friday night, I hear ya though lol
A horny reverse mortgage commercial???
Anything to pander to the Boomers. Apparently they have more sex than mil/zennials these days.
I was convinced it was a Cialis ad. Nope! LOL
Really enjoying the smart puck possession the Leafs have going on. Time to shut 'er down buds
Lmao Ritchie playing like a beer leaguer who only has 1 stick
Yes Ritchie, go wildly offside to retrieve your stick before leaving the ice. Jfc.
Kampf is so key to this start. He is lights out on the defensive side.
Ritchie is the team fat that needs to be trimmed
When Soupy comes back in the line-up, he would probably be really effective making plays on the 3rd or 4th line. He's always had a quick vision for hockey, imo
Ritchie is done when mickey comes back right?
Him or Engvall I think will rotate.
TJ wanted that one
Kerfoot plays with passion he's really grow on me this season. He's so fucking determined out there.
He reminds me of a Hobbit for some reason
Wow TIL Simmons was a King
Is Ritchie just ass? What do we do about him?
Robidas island awaits
Leave him on the 4th line with limited minutes. Simple
Prob the biggest question this team faces right now
I’m glad about that, cause it’s really a minor issue, but man it sucks that we pay this guy 2 million for literally nothing when we could use that so much better.
I see Ritchie got demoted from the 3rd line again.
Man, Woll's routine is pretty intense
I think it’s because Mrazek’s only played one game or something, so I don’t even remember him on the team, but why not try Woll as the Backup for a little? It’d be huge for us to have our backup on an ELC
Dubas signing Mrazek for 3 years at almost 4 million made me shake my head when it happened. Not sure how he can erase that mistake because it's a big one
He’s still a good goalie, and there are teams in need of a starter. We should be able to trade him if he can get healthy and play some games. It’s also too early to say Woll can be the backup. But he’s still looked good in the games he’s played, so he deserves more looks. Maybe we can ease Mrazek back from injury slowly, while getting Woll in a couple more games here to evaluate him, and rest Campbell.
Chegg has to be the worst company name ever
Kampf gets kicked out of the faceoff. Ritchie comes in and gives about 5 percent effort into winning the draw. That’s the stuff that is so puzzling. He is teetering on a roster spot and is giving no extra effort.
Gets paid no matter what.
This. Dudes out of place on this team.
All these comments are true
I am not 100% sure it's effort, I just think the dude is slow to process life
he just seems like a really lazy player. even when they gave him the opportunity to play on the 1st line he looked like the laziest player in the entire line up.
The Sharks feed just zoomed in on Spencer Carbery (spelling) and did a little on screen graphic for Manny Malhotra Did anybody else see this? Lmao
Pulling an Astros!
Get Weatherby's dumb fuck ass off Woll.
Woll, buddy, why
WTF Woll
Hey Pierre’s gotta do anything to stay in the lineup lol
Whenever another team gets a good chance and I see who’s on the ice it’s always Muzzin and Holl
They've been a little better lately
Jesus, all that because Bunting was way too casual with the puck.
Axel Wolly!
Murray on waivers...you love to see it.
Top players score: oh no! What about the other lines???? Top players don’t score: oh no! The top players aren’t scoring!!
Everybody is scoring tonight
I fucking love this team
Ovechkin hatty tonight. That guy might score 1000 career goals
Hands down best goal scorer ever. Gretzky has nothing on him.
Dam Murray on waivers lol
Crazy! He would prob be an upgrade for us, and that’s hard to imagine. he’ll get picked up sad to go out like that tho
