Is Anthony Stolarz the real deal?

[leafsfan5]

He's good, let's see how he handles a higher workload

 

[TheDoldrums]

Is Reimer the real deal?
Is Bernier the real deal?
Is Andersen the real deal?
Is Campbell the real deal?
Is Samsonov the real deal?
Is Woll the real deal?
Is Stolarz the real deal?

A tale as old as time.

Andersen was like a top 10 goalie for three years with the Leafs and has been solid for most of his career. I think your expectations are weird if you’re trying to paint him as a disappointment. Even a guy like Campbell was well worth what they paid him while in Toronto, playing the best of his bizarre career. There aren’t many Hellebuycks and Shesterkins out there, that group probably gave the Leafs roughly league average goaltending over the past decade which is better than well, half the league.

If “real deal” means providing average goaltending for a period of 2-3 years then there is a long list of goalies that are the “real deal”. I can see why a Leafs fan would consider that the real deal based on what they have had to experience and playoff success over many years.

He aight

 

[Leafs87]

Threads premature but he’s been very solid

 

[Craig Button]

Yes he's the real deal as a solid backup.

But plan the annual parade by all means in Toronto.

We have many parades.
which one?
