Toronto Maple Leafs forward John Tavares made some very pointed comments about Anthony Stolarz that could determine what the team does in the playoffs.
The NHL playoffs are on the horizon and the Toronto Maple Leafs have yet to decide on who their starting goalie is going to be come playoff time.
However, Anthony Stolarz's latest string of performances have led to some interesting discourse about how it might be his time to shine.
In two games against the Florida Panthers and Los Angeles Kings, he only let in a total of three goals while turning aside a total of 65 shots.
Is Anthony Stolarz going to be the starting goalie in the playoffs
With questions surrounding the starting goalie spot, John Tavares was asked what he thinks about Stolarz, especially after stealing another win on Wednesday night.
As the former captain explained, Stolarz has a very calm demeanor but once he gets on the ice, he is incredibly vocal and he immediately becomes the quarterback of the team.
«He's got a little bit of a laid-back personality, but his intensity once he puts his pads on is pretty incredible-the way he's barking, talking out there, and into the game.»
If you are a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, you have to be excited about the goaltending situation and how the team has multiple potential starters.
This is not something the Leafs have had over the years, but now, they actually do, and it is pretty glorious to bare witness to.
Even if Stolarz isn't the starter, Joseph Woll is capable of holding down the fort, and this is good to see.
However, with a goals-against average of 2.34 and a save percentage of .920, it is clearer than ever that Stolarz would be the best option.
