Washington gave up on him too and look how he played for us last year. All goalies go thru this. Woll is playing 'lights out' right now and I'm happy for him. You also can't sit Sammy for too long because you will destroy his confidence completely.

Woll deserved the shutout. His entire team abandoned him on the PK during the Ovie easy tap-in and floated collectively to the corner like mindless peons. Time to run with #60 for awhile and see if he can give them a higher measure of consistency over Samsonov. Either way, Maple Leafs have two superb goaltenders and that bodes well for their season.

Sammy will be back like a Superman. Remember last season when Murray went down, a lot of Leafs Nation were saying we're screwed if we have to rely on Samsonov. Guess what? He played spectacular after a few bad games. Sammy will be back better than ever. I'm not bashing Woll, but he's not NHL-ready to take on 50-60 games, yet.

[@arthurau9231]

If it wasn't for 2 lockouts and a Covid 19 shortened season Ovie would've broken The Great One's goal scoring record by now. Wayne Gretzky got lucky he played in an era where there were no lockouts and no shortened season. External factors outside of Ovechkin control will prevent him from setting the all time goal scoring record.

[@chrisg1556]

Lucky? Look at his point totals too. Ovi may end up with more goals but he's nowhere near Gretzky in points. Gretzky will always be the greatest of all time. Nobody will come close to his point total.
