With the stunning return of Joseph Woll to on-ice activities, many of his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates were ecstatic about seeing him back with the squad.
News broke earlier on Friday that Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll had not only returned to the team, but has resumed on-ice activities is a great sign for a team who is currently struggling hard and have been dealt blow after blow not only on the scoresheet.
Chris Tanev, Scott Laughton, Morgan Reilly and now William Nylander are all out with varying levels of injuries, with Laughton returning soon, but no real timeline for Rielly, Nylander or Tanev.
Maple Leafs Locker Room Overjoyed At Joseph Woll's Pending Return
The locker room is going through it right now, and after yet another miserable loss, this time to the lowly Sabres; things are getting very bad, very quickly.
One good piece of news is that Joseph Woll is coming back, and if there's anything that can brighten their spirits right now, it's that news and they are sure letting everyone know about it:
Means a lot. He's a big part of our team so very happy to hear that. - Auston Matthews
We're so happy to have him back. - Craig Berube
Could be a huge spark, could give us a little energy. Just seeing his face around the room is going to be exciting.
This is a massive spark for the locker room, and it seems like Anthony Stolarz is more than happy to have his old running mate back; and goodness me could he use it.
Toronto Needs Themselves A Brick Woll
The team has been atrocious to start the year, and to lose 5-3 to the Buffalo Sabres compounds the misery, and while the defense could be to blame for sure, so too are the forwards who were often puck-watching and left several Buffalo players wide open.
Something has to pick the team up from the dumps they are in and perhaps Woll who comes in motivated and fresh, without being around any of the misery since the season began; it could be enough to help wipe the slate clean and get the ball rolling.
If Woll can come in for his first game (whenever that is), then it would be a huge boost of confidence for a team who is not only lacking in that, but are quickly losing their identity.
The Maple Leafs are more than happy to have Joseph Woll back, not only because that means he's okay, but he could save then from a disastrous 2025-26 season.
