Even though they were miles away from home, the atmosphere felt welcoming, which the team valued. Woll shared his thoughts on this sentiment during the post-game interview:
“The three Canadian cities we visited felt almost like playing at home. That really shows how great our fans are, and it’s amazing to see their support out here,” Woll stated. “I can only say that when we have that kind of energy and our fans are cheering like that, it really impacts the game for us and creates a lot of positive momentum. I absolutely love it, so let’s keep it up!”

Do Toronto’s fans have an impact when playing away games? Let’s take a quick glance. Toronto’s Performance in the West: A Look at How the Maple Leafs Compete Against the Western Conference.
It can feel slightly unusual when the Maple Leafs play in the West, since they are usually based in Canada and North America. However, when they embark on a road trip, they generally perform quite well. Let’s examine Toronto’s historical record against teams in the West (not limited to the Western Conference).
– Anaheim: 34-12-5-2
– Calgary: 73-63-12-6

– Los Angeles: 69-67-21-3
– San Jose: 28-23-5-3
– Seattle: 7-1-0
– Vancouver: 68-71-22-4
Aside from the Canucks, Toronto boasts a fairly strong record against teams in the West, and thanks to the popularity of the Maple Leafs, fans are always in attendance.
This season, Toronto has posted a 7-2-0 record against the aforementioned teams, with Vancouver being the only team to hand them both losses.
While Woll didn’t secure a win against the Canucks, it’s a positive sign that he recognizes and values the fans—many of whom traveled great distances to support their favorite team.
So, it may be a combination of luck and strong fan backing, but one thing is clear: Leafs fans are easy to find, no matter where you go.
