Anthony Stolarz Finally Speaks Out on Incident Involving Nick Cousins

Prior to Game 3, Nick Cousins attempted to get into Anthony Stolarz's head by taking shots at him from his own end during the warmup.

Overall, it was a big nothingburger as it pertains to throwing the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender off of his game. However, the league felt like it was something worth punishing.

Cousins ended up getting $2000 fine for what he did while the Senators were given an additional $25,000 fine. Needless to say, not good for the Sens.

In Game 4, the Senators were able to get some revenge and ended up winning the game by a score of 4-3 in overtime. Anthony Stolarz wasn't great, but Game 3 antics had nothing to do with it.

In fact, Stolarz was asked about what Cousins attempted to do to him on Thursday night. It led to a very interesting answer that will get fans excited about Game 5.

Essentially, the goaltender told reporters that the Cousins shot was something that he didn't even notice. If you don't notice it, it cannot affect you.

Unfortunately, Game 4 was not great for Stolarz and there have been rumblings about whether or not he should be the goalie in Game 5.

Game 5 goes down on Tuesday and the Leafs will have yet another chance to end the series, once and for all. Fans are very hopeful that they are able to win.

If Stolarz has another bad game, then the case for Joseph Woll will become that much more prevalent.
