Leafs have the best goaltending duo in the NHL

Woll 4-2-0 2.00GAA .920sv%

Obviously they do not have the best single goalie, but as a duo they have taken over the mantel from the Bruins it seems for stellar goaltending pairs

Well if we go by save%, we have the best goalie. Stolarz leading the league with that .927.

I mean, the numbers do look like that. Yes. But you need more than a quarter of a season to say "best ____ in the league."

How about "best goaltending duo in the league so far. "

Having a defense that is competent helps a lot, but both goalies have been really solid so far.

Sooo many less odd man rushes and dumb cross zone passes etc. this year.

 

[DarkKnight]

We're one of the top teams in the league limiting high danger chances, also rebound chances. These numbers are also a product of sound defence. Just to spread the love around, they're not operating in a vacuum.

 

[The Shadow]

Yes they do

This is almost all Berube. Any goalie would generally do well under this system.

Feels good.

Feels like a team that can win, and will no longer participate in Milestone Shinny.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

With Sammy, Soup, Freddie, there was always a softie that would go in...total back breaker.

They've been rock solid so far and the new system/dmen are clearly geared toward low event, playoff hockey.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Regardless of if its the best or not, this duo is lightyears better than anything we've had in the recent past. I'm genuinely impressed by how good Stolarz is.

Campbell, Mrazek, Murray, Samsonov and even Andersen for his playoff choke jobs were all garbage.

 

[leafs in five]

yeah maybe

Exactly. If there's anything Leaf fans should know by now it's that you don't decide who's "best" anything in November.

This is almost all Berube. Any goalie would generally do well under this system.

So trade them both while their value is high, and roll with Murray and Hildebeast because "any goalie would generally do well"?

Yeah, I really don't think so.

If they can keep this play up it would be nice to enter the post-season for once without a significant disadvantage vs. their opponent between the pipes.

Anyone remember what it was like when the Leafs' goaltending duo was Reimer/Bernier? Before a game you'd be wondering "which guy is more likely to blow it for this game?" and "I wonder if the starter will get pulled again."

Or how about the dismal ride on the goalie carousel since Freddy Andersen left? Campbell, Mrazek, Kallgren, Murray, Samsonov were all failures in just 2 short years. It's hard to believe how many options they tried that all bombed here.

Well in all fairness Campbell played better here for a longer stretch than Woll or Stolarz

Just goes to show how strong we are defensively. Credit to goalies too.

No, Campbell wouldn't. Nor would Samsonov.Our goalies have been solid.
