Goaltending

[1specter]

So far Stolarz looks really promising, Hildeby had a decent first game but likely needs a bit more seasoning. Woll 404 not found

I understand It's only 3 games but It's nice to FINALLY be getting saves.

He reminds me of a mix of Reimer and Schenn in interviews.

LOL.

Can’t rely on it.

We’ve been getting the goaltending but our D is “a work in progress”.

I'm liking Stolarz thus far, and have high hopes for him based on some comments out of Florida about how good he is.

What I don't like (and this is not exclusive to Stolarz) is goalies constantly dropping to their knees only to have the puck go in above them. This has happened one 3-4 of the goals against the Leafs thus far this season, and it needs to stop. It is a league wide thing, but I don't care about the goalies on other teams and actually encourage them to keep doing it!

It’s harder to go bar down than slide the puck along the ice.

I like Stolarz movement. He's huge, moves efficiently, knows where his net is, but also is athletic for a big guy.

Samsonov was hard to watch, he made easy saves look difficult.

They don't need to drop to their knees like a $20 hooker to deal with pucks along the ice.

It does seem terrible but look at the percentage of goals that are scored on the ice vs goals that go high
