William Morrow+FollowStolarz Speaks Out on Bennett CollisionLeafs Nation, did you catch Anthony Stolarz’s candid comments about that brutal Game 1 collision with the Panthers’ Sam Bennett? The Big Stolie confirmed he suffered a concussion that ended his playoff run, but he insists there was no bad blood—just a tough break in a fast game. Stolarz was having a career year, leading the league in save percentage, so losing him was a huge blow. Thoughts on how this changed the series? #LeafsNation #Stolarz #NHLPlayoffs #GoLeafsGo #HockeyTalk #Sports10Share
Bryce Clark+FollowLeafs’ Goalie Carousel: First Time Since ’81!Wow, Leafs Nation, did you ever expect to see three different goalies in one playoff series? That’s a first since 1981! After Joseph Woll struggled and got pulled in Game 5’s blowout loss to the Cats, Matt Murray (yes, the ex-Pens Cup winner) stepped in. The Panthers’ Sergei Bobrovsky is outshining all our netminders, and with the series on the line, the goalie debate is hotter than ever. Can the Buds bounce back in Game 6, or is history repeating itself? #LeafsNation #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Bobrovsky #NHL #GoLeafsGo #Sports00Share
Martha Garza+FollowLeafs’ Net Woes: Stolarz Still SidelinedTough news for Leafs Nation—Anthony Stolarz, our big-game goalie, still hasn’t hit the ice since that brutal collision with Sam Bennett in Game 1. Coach Berube says Stolarz is recovering but hasn’t skated yet, so it’s looking like Joseph Woll will have to carry the load against the Cats. Woll’s had some shaky moments, letting in 11 goals so far, but he’s also helped us grab a 2-1 series lead. Can the Buds hold on without their top stopper? #LeafsForever #NHLPlayoffs #Stolarz #Woll #GoLeafsGo #Sports00Share

Game 2 is going to be a battle—are the experts sleeping on Toronto again? #LeafsNation #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL #GoLeafsGo #Panthers #Sports00Share
Christopher Li+FollowStolarz Stretchered Off After Wild CollisionTough break for the Buds tonight—Anthony Stolarz, our starting netminder, was stretchered out after a late-game collision with Panthers agitator Sam Bennett. But here’s the twist: concussion experts say Stolarz might’ve been woozy way earlier, after taking a rocket from Reinhart to the mask in the first. The Leafs took Game 1, but now all eyes are on Stolarz’s health. Did the refs miss something, or was this just playoff chaos?
