Ex-NHL Goalie Delivers Bombshell Remarks About Joseph Woll
Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Joseph Woll has been playing well as of late and it has captured the attention of former NHL goaltender, Brian Boucher.
26-year-old goaltender Joseph Wolll has dealt with injuries throughout his young career, although this season, he has been able to remain healthy while winning games for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Joseph Woll gets immense praise from Brian Boucher
With Anthony Stolarz injured, the Maple Leafs have needed Woll to step up and he has in a big way.
The goaltender has won three games in a row and it is believed that he will start tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Speaking of the Flyers, former Philadelphia goaltender Brian Boucher was on TSN 1050 the other day where he spoke about Woll and how the goalie is a future star in the league.
"I think Woll is an up-and-coming star in the NHL. I know he has dealt with injuries and there are a lot of goalies that have dealt with that in the league. He is a talented guy. He's paid his dues. He's come up slowly which I think is important for a goaltender. Sometimes you give too much too soon, it can backfire."
Boucher makes a great point about goaltenders and the way in which they develop in today's NHL.
Some guys are being rushed into the spotlight while others are given time to improve and that certainly happened with Woll.
Furthermore, Boucher is a guy who has made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, so he knows a thing or two about guys who are gamers in big moments.
The Maple Leafs are very likely to make the postseason this year, and there is no telling who will be the starting goalie come playoff time.
However, with Woll as an option, there is no denying that the Maple Leafs are going to feel a whole lot better about things.
