1st goal was just lucky. Bounced off a Bruins defenceman. Willy deserves no credit.

Second goal was … hey, look at these jinggly keys!

- Atomic Wedgie


Willy did that same play against Boston in the season and Frederick stole it and scored…Keefe said after the game that play was okay because he makes those plays more often than not.

Fast forward to game 6 and he scores on the same play.

That's all great and everything but I'm positive the commentary on here is living proof that Santo is the only person on earth who thought it would be the correct decision.
- joel878


That would be incorrect. I said to move Samsonov last off season and have Woll take the starter position all year. Which he had earned until his injury.

Present!! I maintain my position. Marner needs to go, he isn’t worth $11mil and the raise he will be asking for! Willie has shown me that he’s better than Marner, period. This team is better than Keefe, he needs to go…hopefully Brindamour will be available!! Everybody on the team did what they needed, to win. They need to show the same pissed off attitude in game seven. Win or lose Boston has to know they were in a war. Leafs need to make their fans proud and then make changes, as mentioned, in the summer. Beating Boston isn’t my Stanley Cup.

Noone said Boston is the Stanley cup. Guess you think they can't win another tough series.

There’s this one lass who keeps looking back at me with a scowl on her face, I think she’s actually from from Southie. Real mean looking tart. Hot tho.

It’s now my mission to get her back to my room and (frank) her silly.

So. I think most of you know that I am not one to start rumours, but I can say that a friend I trust a great deal told me that he knows a guy who works for the Leafs that said Matthews has kidney stones.

I'd only pass it along because it makes sense.

- Monkeypunk

If that's true. I (frank)ing get it. Had them.

Disagree, that greasy goal was a shot on net. Maybe the boys can try that on the PP instead of the old pass it into the corner. Love the way Knies plays. Excellent team win.

- Aaron_85

He hadnt earned the starting role last year just yet. He simply did not play enough games

It was only until this season were he started to solidify it
However, post injury he wasnt great, his recent starts against the bruins weren't good at all.
It was right choice to start sammie in the series.
And it was the right choice to pull him.

The leafs couldnt start the season with only woll as goalie 1...they needed a tandem.

The leafiness as i foretold has come to fruition....so far.
They won these 2 games.

Can they win the 3rd.....or will they go full leafs?

We'll see.

He’s a better goalie than Samsonov. That was never the question. It was just that he hadn’t pulled it together after his injury. Now he has.
- Canada Cup

Exactly.
Starting sammie was the right decision and was putting in woll.

It didnt take a genius to come up with this, everyone knew if sammie faultered, woll was going in.
Thats what occurred

And he's looked great

Ego and attitude aside, I wouldn't have started Woll if it were me. I was wrong.

There's no harm in accepting it when it happens. Best advice - rip off the bandage and move on.

- Monkeypunk

Starting sammie was the right choice, so was pulling him.

Not sure why some think they are geniuses for wanting woll to start. We all knew he could play well.
Also, the leafs are playing ten times better in front of woll then they ever did with sammie in net.
Had the leafs played like they did the first several games, these past 2 games...woll wouldn't have been able to save them.

But hes been awesome

At the time the leafs still had Murray who played the previous year. Who when not injured was okay in bet. You had a tandem there or you go get a vet to tandem with him. Which they got Jones. You'd have woll be #1 and a guy to fall back on should it not be working or a vet guy to run with it long enough to Woll get back up experience. Either way at some point you gotta try him out as a starter.

Samsonov was right to start game 1. As I said, this was last off season before any injuries occurred.
