Toronto Maple Leafs Make A Statement With Latest Starting Goalie Announcement
The Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the red-hot Carolina Hurricanes tonight and Craig Berube has been tasked with choosing between Joseph Woll or Dennis Hildeby.
Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have been a solid duo in Anthony Stolarz's absence, and it has made head coach Craig Berube's job a whole lot easier.
That said, the Leafs are in action tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes, a team that demands a solid performance from every single player on the roster.
Joseph Woll or Dennis Hildeby
At morning skate this morning, Woll was seen occupying the visitor's net, which means he will be getting the start tonight.
When you consider how the goaltender has played over the course of his last few starts, it is easy to see why Berube would give him the net.
In 20 games this season, Woll has picked up a total of 14 wins which is extremely impressive.
He has a goals-against average of 2.46 and a save percentage of .915 which in today's NHL, is more than enough to help you win a Stanley Cup.
Moreover, Woll is on a five-game winning streak where his goals-against average is 2 on the nose.
As for Dennis Hildeby, he will likely get a start on Saturday night as the Leafs look to take on the struggling Vancouver Canucks.
The Hurricanes, on the other hand, are a team that the Maple Leafs will need to handle with lots of care and effort.
This is a potential Eastern Conference Finals matchup, and that is by no means an exaggeration. If the Leafs can win this won, it would be a huge boost of confidence as the team delves into this second half of the season.
