fireWoll?

You're probably too old to understand computer technology. You see, a firewall is software put on a device such as a computer or router that prevents unauthorized access.

The goalie's name is Woll, which sounds like wall. A goalie, in a way, is a type of firewall because he/she is to prevent unwanted access of the puck into the net.

Hence, a type of portmanteau combining fire from firewall and Woll from Joseph Woll. Therefore, Firewoll.

You're welcome.

What about just "The Wall" ? You know.. the hard barrier that stops unwanted intruders from entering your property?  ;D

That's a lot of typing to end up with just copying ZBBM jeez.

Remember that Eichel guy? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Game day thread on fire today?.firewoll or not?

Let's hope for another solid effort and if so this one will be in the bag. Like to see what we have potentially in Woll. Team has not drafted a goalie that can contribute in a very long time. Hoping either Scott or Woll would be a backup by now. Have a feeling it's going to be a good night for the second line tonight.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Nothing is in the bag...Leafs could dominate and lose....only care about the effort. If they put forth the same as they have recently they have a very good chance of winning.

 

[Joe S.]

I don?t get how the sabres have more goals per game so far than the leafs. It stings the nostrils.

You forget how they started? It took the Leafs 9 games to score more then 3 goals.

 

[Kin]

While obviously the Leafs are probably the better team than Buffalo, there's really nothing less likely to make me sure of a game's outcome than a goalie getting his first ever NHL start. The idea of the Leafs being good but Woll being shaky is pretty realistic.

The majority of the Leafs? roster is shooting well below their career norms, while a good chunk of Buffalo?s is shooting well above theirs. It will sort itself out as the season progresses.

Gonna give Matthews PTSD from playing with Kapanen

Line 4 is going to wreck things

Oh ye of little faith ... chew on THIS scenario:

Leafs decide they can take tonight off against a team they think's a pushover.

They get a big surprise.

Woll, however, rises to the challenge and notches a 60-save shutout for his first career NHL win.

?berteammate Jack Campbell is so happy for him that he blows out his groin trying to jump on Woll after the game's over.

Woll grabs the Leafs net and makes the most of it, smashing an NHL record by reeling off 12 more shutouts in a row.

Team USA has no choice but to name Woll their starter in the Olympics.

In Beijing, Woll continues the magic, becoming the first goalie in Olympic history to record a 0.00 GAA as he leads Team USA to a spectacular Gold Medal.

He's known ever after as ... The Great Woll of China.

 

[herman]

Nah we are facing the backup we lost on waivers on the tail end of a back to back, in front of a ?home town? crowd.

But if it ends up going that way and they make a biopic, Matt Damon will play Woll.
