I looked up Stolarz, saw that he's born in 1994, and thought "that's pretty young". It took me way too long to realize being born in 1994 means you're 30. Covid really messed up my sense of time
I was hoping we could keep Stolarz but wasn’t going to happen. He’s a HUGE goalie and quick. I think the Leafs made a great move here. We’ll definitely miss Stolarz in Florida. Good luck with him.
met Stolarz at a Ducks event...dude was SO FUN. So funny, laid back, such an outgoing funny, goofy guy. That's gonna be a fun tandem in the locker room
we will do our best but u know how our youth fans are... they make life h3ll for players over social media that it impacts the okayers mental health sm theyll ask for a trade. Playing for Toronto. isnt just playing for a hockey team, its like playinf for a country bc of how big Leafs fanbase is(if not the biggest in the world) and these fans get inside our own players heads and thats why most superstars dont want to play here. Bc of the youth
@@pahulmultani972 you're right. He wasn't the problem, he was a part of the problem though and just is NOT a playoff calibre goalie as a starter. If woll doesn't get injured he can be that guy. We just saw it.
Mitch Marner and Max Domi's goaltender when they were playing together in the OHL. Same team that had Horvat, Zadorov, and Dvorak it was fire. I'd love to see them sign Liam Foudy for the LW spot... they'd just be making their offense out of Knights Alumni.
The fact that they aren't spending any big money on anyone or even the goaltender position tells me they don't even plan on moving off the core 4. If they were in serious talks with any teams about Marner or Tavares they'd have gone for Montour or Zadorov. They'd be spending more than 4 million on their goaltending. No team wants to take Tavares deal now that Arizona doesn't exist and Marner hasn't waved his NTC probably because he wants to see how all the contenders shape up before he agrees to leave if he even wants to.
So you are saying Samsonov is gone and never coming back? Other then to record shut outs against us. I'm very pleased. Keep up the great reporting. Spike™
Noooooo!!! I was kind of sad when I heard OEL was a Leaf, but now Stoli the Goalie is too! Florida Panthers, what are you doing? How about you give us Stoli back and we'll give you Spencer Knight. Please?!
@@jomac841 Lol! I'm selfish and want them to win back to back. Stolarz was the best backup Bob has had in a while, maybe ever as a Panther. Now we're stuck with Spencer Knight?! The guy who thinks it's a rule to let the first shot on goal go in? 😭I can only hope Zito signs a backup goalie.
@@SouthernSera hehe fair enough! Though we had enough sieve goaltending with Ilya Samsinov tyvm. The guy didn’t deserve the toxic hate from other Leaf fans but he at one point couldn’t stop a beach ball
Keep in mind guys that we have sub par defense coming into the next season and our forwards 2 way play are lack luster. I really hope that we dont fuck this up with sub par defense. Yes I am looking at you RIELLY! You are not a forward!
I agree to a point. It will be interesting to see the emphasis Berube will put on team defense and the schemes he puts in place if they are able to make a difference.
I was young when I started watching hockey it was the year after the Leafs won the Cup. Immediately a Leaf fan and got to watch Ballard and his underling Imlach destroy the team
You got a gooooood deal on Stolarz, Steve. Watching him take pre gameskate and moving around the ice on one skate with very minimal body movement kinda reminds me of one of those football players on the vibrating boards.......but way way oversized. Hated to see him go from my Kittehs but that is the way of cap hungry league. Hope he does you some justice!!
I ❤️ Sammy and I wish him all the best for him and his young family. He struggled and came back strong. The only reason I am ok with him moving is that I believe the team needed to know that the goalie in net was going to be confident every time he was in net. Sammy clearly was not confident every time and that affects how the team plays. I know, I know….it wasn’t always his fault, but that’s just something I think that went in to this decision. Go and cuddle your “warmy baby”, Sammy. I’m sure going to miss your post game interviews ❤️
An injury-prone guy that hasn't played more than 30 games a year, a 30 yo dude who has like 100 NHL games, and an LTIR legend in Murray. At least you're not paying them much? But really, this is not what we meant by "get adequate goaltending".
Cheap tandem, but never forget... Mrazek was more proven than Stolarz when he came to Toronto. Giving a 2/3 goalie a more important role in a tough market doesnt always translate to them being a solid starter. Its a good signing but I wouldve preferred a veteran as the backup to Woll
FL has been picking up no names for a few years now. Stolarz looks like the best of them. Lyon, Drieger, and meh Reimer the swiss cheese goalie. Stolarz has size and speed. Also I like Woll. Liked him two years ago and this year. Sucks he didn't play game 7. That stat line for the Ducks is insane. I will be trying to catch leafs games with him in net. I am very curious if the goalie that lead the league in GAA and Save percentage with 20 games or more can hold his own on the Leafs. He did out play Bob by half a goal a game with the same team in front of him.
What was Ullmark before he went to Boston? Another Buffalo cast off. You never know. Swayman looks like the real deal though. Ullmark, I wasn't sold on. Just a really really good team in front of him.
TO is the place where Goalies come to wish they never played Goal. When you look at his stats, he has done well when playing for a disciplined team committed to defence. When he has played for teams less committed lets just say the numbers are not great. This could be the place where he becomes the player he and the team want him to be. But I am sceptical he will survive the TO media circus of manure heads and the social club approach to hockey TO is famous for. Between Woll and Stolarz you get 148 NHL games. You get what you pay for.
Sorry but Treliving is brutal, he makes moves as if he’ll only be with the team he’s with for a year or 2 and whatever garbage moves he made will become someone else’s problem , this guy is putting the leafs in a shitty position , kinda like what bergevin did to the habs , but Trev did it in Calgary , he’s now doing it in Toronto OEL for 4 years ! Domi for 4 years ! And Tanev for 6!!! 😂😂😂Leafs fans can’t be happy with those signings
You pay for what you get. You want quality, you pay for it. Sorry. This just confirms you blow smoke about everything the Leaf's do. This deserves constructive criticism and al has the makings of one plays bad we go to the next, then the next, then the next. Leaf's may as well bought Ulmark.
This Stolarz signing is one of the best signings. He is a good goalie and Brad got hom cheap for 2 years. A huge 2 tumbs up on this signing. The Tanev signing is.....meaahhhhhh just so so. Good now, but will suck in 3-6 years
But look at how many ppl in here are posting that it's great..and with Matt Murray this is awesome ..ya until you dummy up and start realizing we are going nowhere with these goalies.woll can't even play a whole series ,the work load is too much for him.thats why we lost game 7 ..remember?he's a back up..use to playing a game every week or atleast 3 days in between.he can't do 7 games 8n a row every second day..
It's actually crazy when you realize Stolarz was a goalie no one would even pick up on waivers not even a year or 2 ago. Now he's seen as a cheap pickup at 2,5M per season just because he has a ring.
Florida is where people go to resurrect their career... Lomberg got 2 million, OEL 4 million, Stolarz 2.5 million, Montour 7 Million. Most of them were castoffs from their former teams. I trust Bill Zito and everything he does.
NOT just because he has a ring. Do your homework and look at his stats for last year. Yeah, head and shoulders above ANYTHING the Leafs had last year. My god, Leaf fans are the worst!!
Congratulations, Toronto. You've bagged yourself a goaltender, who is now on his 5th team, in 6 seasons. Truly, the x-factor for the season. A goalie that nobody wants, and an injury prone defenseman who's best years, were 3 seasons ago. Looking forward to the customary 1st round exit in the spring. Assuming this team even makes the playoffs.
100+ games stollie the goalie and 30+ for wollie the....Again the leafs haven't solved anything but offered hope that if this tandem defies all logic then we good.Can't wait for next season same script with a few name changes.
Nothing against Stolarz, but Leafs continue to undermine the importance of goaltending. This team does not have a true number one reliable goaltender. A good goalie won't get you to the cup. A great goalie can. Prepare for another season of goaltending issues talk
Stuart Skinner took the Oilers to the final this year. Last season Adin Hill and Logan Thompson were the starters in the final. As long as you have a tight D-core and secondary scoring, decent to good goaltending can take you on a deep playoff run. Having said that, Do the Leafs have that? I don’t know. I’d be surprised
You're three goals for next season of Woll, Stolarz, and Murray combined make less than 4.5 Million. Thats fucking great.
If they work out. But they're all back up goalies. 😂😂😂
More money for them to blow on the Core 4
Oh yeah… Murray
@@KingSteady Woll will be that starter. He's been a starter most of his hockey life.
@@StarFinderWebb 👍🤭

I dont want to hear this
covid messed up ur sense of time? no u just have a bad sense of time
Well, at this point Stolarz could be 60, as long as he can be good enough if Woll were to inevitably suffer some sort of injury in the playoffs.
@@jlove8445 what are u talking about
I was hoping we could keep Stolarz but wasn’t going to happen. He’s a HUGE goalie and quick. I think the Leafs made a great move here. We’ll definitely miss Stolarz in Florida. Good luck with him.
Having Bob definitely makes it easier for you 😂
@@709mashwas hoping he retire after winning cup . We got goalie out of it tho
He will be missed in Florida 😢 hope the best for him
This should be interesting. Stolarz is a good goalie for sure and he's HUGE.
Looking forward to seeing some Stolarz goaltending.
met Stolarz at a Ducks event...dude was SO FUN. So funny, laid back, such an outgoing funny, goofy guy. That's gonna be a fun tandem in the locker room
Stolarz with the fist bump!
Leafs. I have one thing to say to you about signing OEL and Stolarz as a panthers fan. Take care of them and DON'T FUCK IT UP
we will do our best but u know how our youth fans are... they make life h3ll for players over social media that it impacts the okayers mental health sm theyll ask for a trade.

No promises.
As a Leafs fan I can safely say I’m worried. 🤣🤣
As a panthers fan Stolarz is a pretty damn good goalie, interested to see if he gets a starters chance at one point
Kind of going to miss Steven going off on Ilya.
Samsonov wasent the problem. Leafs averaged 1.7 goals a game in the playoffs

I like the 4 signings but we missed Big Zadarov..
He’s underrated for sure
Stolarz is from New Jersey and grew up a huge Marty Brodeur fan 😈
this is probably the one move the leafs made today that i like.
Domi? Woll? Lilypad extension? all good.
@@saauuccEE Lilypad! Lmao He is soft and sometimes stinks.
Hakanpaa i really like
Hakanpaa and Tanev are exactly what the blueline needed on the right
Stolarz is underrated. He can be good starter in NHL.

Not sold 100% on this tandem, mostly worried about Woll not staying healthy, but it can't be worse then sammy...

When do the Leafs get draft choices. Am I wrong in thinking they don't have a first or second next year. Please tell me I'm wrong
No first. They acquired Florida's 2025 second at the draft.

Actually, I think the defence got younger. Remember Brodie and Giordano?
@@johnsummerhill8323 True.

Hold up, Stolarz didnt play a full playoff game. Lets not make the mistake of saying he was a big part of their Stanley Cup.
He didn't say that... He said he was a big part of them being inches away from the presidents trophy
He stopped Matthews from getting 70 goals
Nothing against Stolarz, but Leafs continue to undermine the importance of goaltending. This team does not have a true number one reliable goaltender. A good goalie won't get you to the cup. A great goalie can. Prepare for another season of goaltending issues talk
Stuart Skinner took the Oilers to the final this year.
Last season Adin Hill and Logan Thompson were the starters in the final.
As long as you have a tight D-core and secondary scoring, decent to good goaltending can take you on a deep playoff run.
