Leafs have the best goaltending duo in the NHL

[keonsbitterness]

That December schedule is laughable (even more so because the bulk of them are home games). I think they could play every night for 14 straight nights against those teams and still win. The Leafs will likely be first overall in the league by the end of December because of that schedule.

Terrible December confirmed.

Not bad for a ~3.3m tandem

Everyone and their mother is taking Shesterkin\Quick.

They have been really solid. It was a major question mark in the offseason if this tandem could do a good job with Woll's injuries and Stolarz's unproven track record. The defense has also played solid in front of them as well so that has helped.

Stay on the Bruins board ya jabroni

 

[DarkKnight]

They both look fantastic, making key saves. Also true, man we don't give up many quality rebound chances.

Both in the top ten of each of those categories (Stolarz 4th GAA, Woll 8th svp)

Was, NJ, Dal, Win and the Leafs nemesis Buf.

None of those are easy games.

Come on. Buffalo twice, Pittsburgh, the Islanders 3 times (if you count early January), Chicago, Nashville, Anaheim...the leafs are going to rack up a lot of points in December.

Anaheim is our bitch, but we will definitely drop one of the Buffalo games, Chicago has won 3 in a row vs the Leafs and 6 of their last 9 games against us, the Islanders swept us last year (and have generally been a bad matchup post-Tavares), and Nashville has won 5 of their last 7 vs the Leafs too.

If the Leafs are truly 'different' then this will be the time to prove it.

Artur Akhtyamov is cooking in the Marlies games too. We have stellar goaltending for once.

6-0-1 in 7 starts with .935 sv% and 1.68 GAA.

4 in a row for Joe Woll. Also liking the new mask:

Hadn't seen it up close like this until now. I like it! Very CuJo-like.

Woll is great, and both of these guys can be trusted to start a playoff game with no hesitation. That's a pretty great thing.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I love the composure of both guys in net. We've had a lot of goalies in recent memory that were all over the place. Both of them are steady and "quiet", which inspires a lot more confidence in their play, even if they're fighting it.

Our D is so much better than last year...

Our D is so much better than last year...

We are not turning the puck over leading to chances against anywhere near as much this season.

This stat was posted in Bournes recent article.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I know Florida has hit the skids recently but Stolarz is going to have a BIG test coming Wednesday, I'm assuming It's Stolarz anyway because that's his former team.

And then whoever plays Saturday faces Tampa.

The goaltending is going to have to be on It's game this week.

I would argue the teams overall commitment to D is is much better, too.

Last year we had a cooked Giordano, and a declining (and likely mentally broken) Brodie. Right off the hop we’ve replaced them with Tanev and OEL — awesome upgrades.
