2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

Woll still needs some load management. It's proving out this season that neither Woll nor Stolarz are true starters. I think Woll's numbers can improve when he has less of a burden..... like this Saturday its v the red hot Canadiens.... you can't put Hildebeast in net for that. It's going to be Woll again, who should be resting TBH.


Yet Stolarz seems to be the type of goalie that if healthy, can steal a playoff series for this team. Maybe even Woll can do this if he is sheltered more.

Stolarz is more of an unknown than Woll. Stolarz has played exactly 34:50 mins of playoff hockey. Woll if healthy can do it. He's been excellent for us when he's played in the playoffs. Both of them are learning to become a true starter and it may never happen. We only need one of them to get hot at the right time but chances are, we'll need both for a long run.

Yes agreed. Except Stolarz has had more regular season experience and it's been solid results for the limited games he's had an opportunity to play.

Both of them are the Leafs ace in the hole this playoffs because they provide high caliber redundancy.

If Leafs can get a convergence of the L1 play last night, with hot goaltending from one of Woll or Stolarz, plus their consistent defensive habits.... Leafs are going to be a force in the playoffs. And I'm confident about the last two happening because its happened for most of this season.
