The Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube called out the goaltender Joseph Woll following the Florida Panthers' comeback in the third game of the series.

During the first game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers, Leafs' goaltender Anthony Stolarz had to leave the ice following a dangerous collision with Sam Bennett.

The organization later confirmed that Stolarz is suffering from a concussion, meaning that he needs to step away from the ice for a while.

In the meantime, Joseph Woll, 26, is getting to see some playoff action.

Last night was his second game started, and the goalie came up short, allowing the game-winning goal in overtime to Brad Marchand:

After the game, Craig Berube talked about his goalie, saying he thought he was good in the third game, but he didn't like the Panthers' fourth goal, scored by Tomas Nosek:

'I thought he was really good. I don't love the fourth goal, but other than that, I thought he was solid.'

Watch the goal here:

Berube had more to say about his team's game:

'We had a good first, I thought, and came out in the second and we just didn't ... [play] direct with what we needed to do. We got back to playing our game in the third, were pressuring them and getting pucks in behind them, going to work. We need to keep doing that.'

On his part, Woll mentioned how he has to 'shake it off':

'You just shake it off," Woll said afterward. "Bounces go both ways. That's hockey.'

Since the playoffs started, Woll hasn't been able to get a save percentage over .900. He will need to be better if he wants to play a role in his team's success.

The Leafs and the Panthers will meet for the fourth game of the series tomorrow evening. With Stolarz likely to miss that game too, Woll will need to have a great game if he wants to push the Panthers only one game away from being eliminated.
