That’s trash defense – the Leafs absolutely suck tonight – but Stolarz has let in at least 2 very soft goals and that third was poor down low coverage on his part. When Stollie is on, he’s down hard to the ice – not all spidery and leaving gaps everywhere.
Stolarz has been pretty weak to start this season. I’d expect any NHL goalie on their game to make both of those stops.
Let’s face a truth here. His current pace is to start 65 games. Before this season the most he has started was 34. He might just be playing too much.
It’s his 12th start in a month, so I can see some of that, but he’s just been inconsistent overall. Like take his games this year on a game-by-game basis and look at his GSAx in each game:
Montreal (W, 5-2): +1.95 (+1.71 at 5v5)
Red Wings (L, 6-3): -2.2 (-0.5 at 5v5)
Red Wings (L, 3-2): -0.6 (-1 at 5v5)
Rangers (W, 2-1): +2.4 (+0.84 at 5v5)
Seattle (L, 4-3): -1.9 (-0.6 at 5v5)
Jersey (L, 5-2): -1.4 (-1.2 at 5v5)
Buffalo (L, 5-3): -2.5 (-2.2 at 5v5)
Calgary (W, 4-3): +0.72 (-0.2 at 5v5)
Flyers (W, 5-2): +1.78 (+1.08 at 5v5)
Penguins (W, 4-3): +0.33 (+0.17 at 5v5)
Utah (W, 5-3): -1.3 (-1.7 at 5v5)Lots of hockey left tonight, but so far he’s -0.86.
He’s just very up and down and moment to moment is inconsistent. The numbers are there because they back up how I _feel_ in general when I’ve been watching him.
