POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
Q: On getting the win for Joseph Woll in his debut:
Sheldon Keefe: “It was nice to get it for him. Obviously for him coming in here today, his focus is to
come in and do the job for the team and get two points so for us to get it out there, regardless of how we
got it, I’m happy for him and his family.”
JOHN TAVARES
Q: On Joseph Woll’s performance:
John Tavares: “I think he played great. I’m sure a lot of jitters, a lot of butterflies for him. He looked
confident and calm. It’s too bad we didn’t do a better job in front of him, but we fought right until the end
and then got a big W so always nice to get him the first one.”
MORGAN RIELLY
Q: On Joseph Woll’s performance:
Morgan Rielly: “He’s a good young man. He’s a smart kid, works hard and puts his time in… I thought Joe
was really good so that’s great and obviously there are areas of our game we need to clean up. But the
fact that he gets to walk out here with a win and a game puck and a game like that is awesome and he
deserves it and is playing hard.
MICHAEL BUNTING
Q: On getting the win for Joseph Woll in his debut:
Michael Bunting: “Yeah we definitely wanted to play for him and play strong in front of him. We had a
couple hiccups that weren’t his fault at all but I thought he played unbelievable in the net and he stood in
there strong for us when we weren’t playing our best so I’m really happy for him and I’m sure it’s going to
be a night he’s going to remember for the rest of his life.”
JOSEPH WOLL
Q: How his NHL debut has felt – from when he knew was getting the start until tonight:
Joseph Woll: “From the moment I knew I was getting the start it was pretty special. It’s something you
dream of as a kid and I’m just happy I was able to do it with the Leafs. Then for tonight, I think it was such
a special team win. I look at how well they played in front of me and especially after they came back and
made it 4-4 and then we just controlled and dominated the game until the end there. So I can’t say
enough good things about this team and it was pretty cool to see how much they had my back out there.”
