"Woll, who took a leave of absence during training camp, played on Saturday, only his fourth game of the season, where, despite having a strong game was pulled in the second period with the Leafs being outshot 16-1 and losing 4-0. This move was made to give the team a wake-up call, which didn't work. In hindsight, if not for Woll's strong play, the score easily could have been 10-0."
"Woll's reaction to getting pulled is an encouraging one for Leafs fans, as it shows he has that burning hunger to win for his team. That he would do whatever it takes to be in there. Berube has been impressed by his young goaltender's performance since coming back from his conditioning stint in the minors. "He's been solid and it has been very good for our team, getting him back in," he said."
Joseph Woll returned from a conditioning stint and has played four games this season, posting a 1-2-1 record with a 3.00 GAA and a .905 save percentage. He was pulled in the second period of a 5-2 loss to Montreal despite making many saves, and the move was intended as a wake-up call. Coach Craig Berube said Woll was "pissed off" at being pulled and praised his competitive response. Woll said he was enjoying battling and was unhappy to leave the net, believing the team still had a chance. Berube called Woll's return solid and credited it as beneficial for the team. Woll will start against Columbus.
