Craig Berube's Latest Comments About Joseph Woll Should Terrify Toronto Maple Leafs Fans

Joseph Woll allowed five goals on 36 shots on Friday night, which isn't exactly the kind of performance you need when you're trying to win the Stanley Cup.

The Toronto Maple Leafs ultimately lost Game 3 against the Florida Panthers by a score of 5-4 in overtime, despite having a 3-1 lead in the second period.

Throughout these playoffs, Woll now has a goals-against average of 3.99 and a save percentage of .869. These numbers are a far cry from what Anthony Stolarz put up prior to his injury.

After the game, Berube spoke about Woll and made some comments that took two approaches. On one hand, there was praise. On the other hand, some criticism of the goals that were given up.

If you are a Leafs fan, what is happening here is clear as day. Berube can't be 100 percent honest because if he is, then he might rattle Woll's already shaky confidence.

Of course, none of this would be happening without the injury to Anthony Stolarz in Game 1 of the series, where he was elbowed in the head by Sam Bennett.

It gave the Florida Panthers a significant advantage in the series, and it does feel like this series is a lot closer than it was originally.

If Stolarz were to return to the series, it would have to be in Game 5 against next Wednesday, as that would be one week from presumably entering the concussion protocol.

Only time will tell whether or not the goalie returns and if the Leafs can bounce back in Game 4.
