Following Saturday’s overtime loss, Anthony Stolarz called out his team for an inconsistent start to the season. As part of his criticism, the Leafs goalie singled out William Nylander for what he perceived to be a poor effort on the Seattle Kraken’s game-winning goal.
Toronto Maple Leafs’ William Nylander addressed Anthony Stolarz’s recent post-game outburst, following Auston Matthews’ comments, offering his perspective on the situation.
NHL analyst Craig Button claimed that William Nylander has become the new scapegoat for the Toronto Maple Leafs following Mitch Marner’s departure to the Vegas Golden Knights in the offseason.
TORONTO -- Two days after Anthony Stolarz called out the Toronto Maple Leafs for underachieving play, the goalie and his teammates agreed only good can come from his words. “We are on the cusp of doing great things so that’s why I’m so passionate about it,” Stolarz said Monday after practice. “I feel we can go all the way.
Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube acknowledged the remarks on Monday, per David Alter of The Hockey News, saying that while frustration is part of the game, those conversations should stay internal. “It’s frustration, we all prefer it stay in the room, but it happens, but we’ve moved on from it,” Berube said.
Stolarz's words were a breath of fresh air for many Leafs fans who echoed similar frustrations about the club in the past. But there's a possibility it could backfire.
After the kind of publicly-vented frustration not often seen around the Leafs, the team collectively did its best Bill Belichick impression Monday: The Leafs are moving on, and moving on to a crucial game against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. “We’re all big boys. We can talk to each other as we please and you move on,” Tanev said.
