Is Anthony Stolarz the real deal?

[HockeyVirus]

That's a stupid take. I loved Chris Farley but he was the furthest thing from an athlete. Stolarz is healthy and athletic.and not thick??

2 Of 4 are long shots right now

Berube as finalist is highly unlikely
Leafs winning Atlantic , not as much a long shot, but Florida would need to really fall off and the leafs take it up a notch

But stolarz definitely has a shot at vezina finalist right now

How is Berube unlikely? Leafs have had insane injuries and are playing some outstanding physical defensive hockey. And that ties into point #2, where you say it is unlikely and yet the Leafs sit in 1st right now?

Leaf fan here but I'm going to be very cautiously optimistic considering what happened with Andrew Hammond a few years ago.

He is behind Arniel, Rod the Bod, Carberry.

He is certainly showing he is the real deal. Toronto’s goalies and their D are solid. Very solid!

I think one thing that has really helped the Leafs goaltending this year is that they are way better at protecting the front of the net and preventing high dangerous chances.

They currently rank 2nd in 5v5 HDCA/60 where as the previous 2 seasons they ranked 20th and 14th.

Weather it is from Berube's new system or new personal on the blueline (Tanev and OEL) or a combination of both, this is definitely the best defensive Leafs team I have seen.
