Makes sense. Call up ahkmatev/hildeby and let those boys play. Especially the russian machine.
Quick chart of Stolarz’s save percent by days of rest. Intentionally excluded this season to get ahead of people saying it’s how this Leafs team is playing in front of him. This has data from the Leafs, Panthers, and Ducks.
This is a tandem goalie. Even with this season, most of his best games have come with 4 days of rest (.935 vs Montreal, .939 against Philly, and a mid 897 vs Calgary).
The hope is that Woll coming back gets him back to the rest he performs best at.
I also implore the coaching staff – keep the tandem going for the playoffs. It makes no sense to have guys get used to playing every 3-4 days, then increasing the workload right at the most important time.
*Sorry for deleting the earlier post – just wanted to check this was driven by him playing with more rest on the Panthers – it isn’t*.
He’s not a traditional starter. 35 games max per season that’s all he can do.
Out of curiosity, how does this compare with most starting goaltenders?
Great analysis and to the point. This is the type of content we need on year. Not the doom and gloom every single post with zero data or rational
He does best when he splits the net with another goalie. Which was supposed to be the plan when we signed him and Woll for the contracts we signed them for. Stolie is not making “number 1 guy” money. Unfortunately injuries happened.
I hoped he could be the number 1 guy but it looks like he does best in a tandem. Which is becoming more and more prevalent in the NHL now.
I’m not sure what happened with the other thread I posted the above on but here it is again!
Can you add the number of games per grouping? Would be good to know sample sizes here
SV% is a team stat.
Last year the team did a great job limiting high danger chances and allowed teams to shoot from the perimeter.
this year the defensive structure is all over the place and stolarz is seeing tons of shots from dangerous areas.
This is very interesting. Thanks for providing it.
I’ve spent lots of time pondering why Stolarz lacks such durability. My only thought is that it has to do with his height and weight distribution. I guess it’s harder on his bones and joints to get down in the butterfly because it takes him longer to get down than it does a 6’1 or 6’2 goalie.
