The sky is falling on the heads of the Maple Leafs at dawn of the game against the Canadiens
The Maple Leafs are the visitors at the Bell Centre tonight, and they have received very bad news to start their season.
Indeed, their number 1 goaltender, young Joseph Woll, is reportedly injured and will not be able to participate in the game. An American Hockey League goalie is expected to start in his place.
- Anthony Marcotte
Joseph Woll is a very solid young goaltender, but the problem is that he is constantly injured or sick. His statistics are very good, but he has only 34 starts in the NHL at 26 years old.
For the Maple Leafs, who have had all kinds of problems with goaltenders in recent years, losing their number 1 goalie for the first game could be a disaster.
We know that the Leafs are very good at scoring goals, but very vulnerable to giving them up as well. A good team in one sense of the rink.
We will now see who will be starting for this game, as it seems that their backup goalie, Anthony Stolarz, is not in town. He is reportedly in New Jersey preparing for his team's next game, according to some sources.
In any case, the Canadiens should not let their guard down just because an AHL goalie is in net for the opposition. They need to double their efforts and show their rivals that they are at home and that they make the rules in Montreal.
