Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is struggling right now, and his latest comments are further proof that this team might be in some peril.
Joseph Woll was having himself a very nice start to the Toronto Maple Leafs' season; however, in recent days, the goaltender has been struggling.
He had a rough game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights, and on Monday night against the Minnesota Wild, he was pulled after allowing five goals on 29 shots.
With the Maple Leafs in the hunt for a playoff spot, this is not the kind of goaltending they were expecting or hoping for. It's a sad state of affairs, and the fans are hoping for better.
After being pulled, Woll looked pretty despondent on the bench, and after the game, he spoke to the media very candidly about how he was feeling.
Joseph Woll admits the truth
Simply put, Woll is fully aware of the fact that he has not been good enough as of late and needs to elevate his game in order for his team to have a realistic shot at winning.
At the end of the day, The last couple of games obviously not the result I want, but I'm going to go to the drawing board, learn from it and tomorrow's a new day. Flush it and get back to work.
With a goals-against average of 2.90 and a save percentage of .910, there is no denying that Joseph Woll could be better right now.
Having said that, the Leafs also need to be better in front of him if they want any chance of actually making it deep into the postseason.
The Leafs remain outside of the playoffs, and there is no doubt that they are feeling the heat to put something together and show they mean business.
Overall, this is not going to be an easy final stretch for Joseph Woll, and he has no choice but to figure it out before it's too late.
