If you think of this as a vote of confidence in Dennis Hildeby, I don’t hate it. On the surface the Leafs are selling low on Woll, but they get a pick + a quality depth defenseman that can move the puck in Emil Andrae. And the Flyers get a much better backup goalie too. Not bad.

[Toronto Maple Leafs @MapleLeafs]

TRADE: We’ve acquired defenceman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit

That Blake-Stankoven shift to double the lead could not be more emblematic of Carolina Hurricanes hockey

1 of these teams appears to have a goalie that’s ready to win a Cup.

David Jiricek and the boys going crazy after that header

[Billy Puck Takes @BillyPuckTakes]

This series is far from over, but the Canes surviving playing like dogshit for about 30 minutes and Bussi playing like the real fucking deal has to have this team feeling ready to do this thing. CUP IN THE BUILDING
