Injury Report: Stolarz Stretchered Out Of SBA During Game 1

[Stephen]

Good enough to try a knee on knee with Mitchy

Well hopefully he does something stupid and takes himself out. Otherwise we’ll have to get someone to lob a puck at his chest.

Still think their best effort is to let the refs take care of the whistle to whistle stuff.

The one exception has to be any contact with Joseph Woll. They went after him on two or three different occasions in his short game 1 cameo - that simply cannot go unchecked tonight.

True. Watching CAR vs WASH. The thing you notice is the their D clear the crease. FLA does that as well, you pay if you go in the middle. You don't get to just create traffic, which is something FLA wants to do. TOR D HAS to clear the crease. TB does not do that well, it cost them

 

[Maple Leaf]

Big loss wow

 

[1specter]

Hopefully the leafs can win the series and he'll be back for the conference finals

Don't think we will be seeing Stolarz again unfortunately.

Seeing Murray or Hildabeast sitting behind the bench is terrifying.

Seeing Murray or Hildabeast sitting behind the bench is terrifying.

It actually isn't. It's life.
Andrew Red Light Racicot backed up Patrick Roy back in 93 Cup run. Had Roy gone down, not a chance Habs win the Stanly Cup

It's not any different than McDavid going down.

Luckily we have Woll, he can get us few games before Stolarz comes back. Woll was supposed to be the starter anyways

Hildabeast??? Absolutely. Murray? At least he’s a veteran winner.

Matt Murray is 30 years old. Feels like dude is 80

 

[Squiffy]

Playoff Woll has been good in small sample size. Not worried about him in net.

Sounds like Stoli is in protocol, expect him out a week.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Hildabeast??? Absolutely. Murray? At least he’s a veteran winner.

Treliving re-signing Murray at the last minute in the off-season is making me feel a bit better about the situation at the moment.

 

[Tak7]

Leafs nation will blow a gasket if Bennett takes out Woll. I doubt Panthers want to go there, even though it probably guarantees them the series.

Which is exactly why they will absolutely go there.

They buzzed the tour four or five times once Woll got into game 1, and it wasn't even their big mutants that were doing it - when Evan Rodrigues decides to take a shot at the backup goalie, you know it's systematically engrained into each and every one of them.

It was a pretty good plan in hindsight.

You can also do far worse than Murray as your third stringer IMO. Most teams are completely f***ed once they reach that point anyways.

 

[DarkKnight]

Way more comfortable having Murray over Hildeby. Obviously neither is preferred but I like experience over what the kid can bring. This isn't his time and I can't see him meeting the moment.

Wow did not realize he’s only 30. Definitely feels like he’s been around since the first lockout

You can also do a lot worse than Hildeby as your #4. We're pretty well protected in the crease. Do we win a cup with them, no. But, we could win a game here or there while the starters heal.

He’s from the same draft class as Anthony Stolarz, oddly enough.

 

[al secord]

Have you seen the other remaining team's 3rd and 4th strings?

 

[thewave]

He is ready for the NHL. Stolarz only became viable around 30 too

 

[Tarmore]

Considering that he started puking after taking an elbow to the head... I highly doubt it's the flu

10 minutes after

 

[WilliamInLondon]

what an amazing character arc if Matt Murray guides the Leafs to the cup. Nobody would have seen that coming and films would be made (or at least an Amazon Prime documentary) on the life of Matthew Murray.

 

[crump]

Woll at least gets to stretch for the game this time. He’ll have a better mind set and be ready. His routine, as with any goalie, is important to be game ready. Woll has a really calm demeanour. He is prone to the occasional bad game but lets hope he got that out of his system on Monday.

A lot of people wanted to see him in the series anyway. We really do have 2 #1’s.

Tonight would be a good game for Matthew's to find the net, maybe the Laughton line can chip in too. I think Barkov and Tkachuk are a few hits away from being useless. Have to hit them hard.

We can do without drama. Haha

Yeah he used to drive the Zamboni here

 

[conFABulator]

He blamed the Toronto media and fans for villainizing Bennett, which is clearly a lie...and saying there's no penalty is saying nothing at all, and is simply deception.

Sure. What else was he supposed to say?
