The Leafs are now left to navigate without their first-choice goaltender for an indeterminate period, leaving the goaltending duties to Hildeby and Stolarz as they seem to be scheduled to alternate starts going forward while Woll recovers.

The regular season hasn't even begun yet for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and we might already have our first goalie controversy of the season.

Joseph Woll is already dealing with an injury and the Toronto Maple Leafs need to ensure he stays healthy for him to fulfill his potential.

For a goalie who wanted to be healthy and reliable this season, Woll has not gotten off to a good start. It's a good thing the Maple Leafs have goaltending depth out the wazoo.

The Toronto Maple Leafs decided over the summer that Joseph Woll was the goaltender they intended to move forward with, and allowed Ilya Samsonov to depart via free agency. The team also secured the services of Florida Panthers goaltender Anthony Stolarz to be his backup.

There is no goaltending controversy with the Maple Leafs. It should be fairly straightforward for coach Sheldon Keefe and his staff. Ride Joseph Woll for the next little while and see where he goes with an increased workload.
