Wolls job is to stop shots. We were playing good, and insulating Woll well from high danger chances and he let in two long point shots. That took the wind out of the team for a while.
You don’t need to defend Woll. Other goalies stop those shots, at least one of them…
Woll is struggling right now, but i think it’s just who he is. Not the future.
AND our PP is horrid!
So one of those things (Goalie or PP) better be sharp or your not winning many games…

I agree. The Leafs were beating the tires off the Blues until two goals were allowed on 7 shots. It changed the way the team was playing the rest of the way IMO. They feared allowing any more shots. That said, I agree that the PP needs to be fixed and is the main reason the Leafs lost. Berube pointed out something I've been saying for some time. Not enough shooting the puck! When the goalie was pulled that twenty or so passes back and forth by Marner without a shot was cringeworthy. It emphasized what is wrong with the PP. Just shoot the (frank)en puck. And please remove Marner from the 1st unit PP.
