Disturbing Footage of Anthony Stolarz All But Confirms He Might Have a Concussion
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz took an elbow to the head from Sam Bennett and now, Joseph Woll will have to carry the team to victory.
During the second period of the match between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers, goaltender Anthony Stolarz took an elbow from Sam Bennett.
At first, he seemed to be shaken up but okay. Ten minutes later, the goaltender went to the bench and took himself out of the game.
Joseph Woll has since replaced Stolarz and he has been very shaky. The third period has just started and the score has gone from 4-1 to 4-3.
Anthony Stolarz takes an elbow from Sam Bennett
With concern mounting for Stolarz, some disturbing footage has made its way to the internet and it is already going viral.
As you can see below, during a commercial break, Stolarz was bent over and puking into a bucket. He was clearly very sick and the Leafs had no choice but to take him out.
According to the Maple Leafs, Stolarz remains under evaluation and there is no telling what his status is.
However, the presence of vomit following a headshot is very concerning. Typically, this means someone is dealing with concussion symptoms. We hope this is not the case.
Joseph Woll has not played at all in these playoffs and he is now being asked to do the impossible. For now, all he needs to do is secure the win.
Only time will tell whether or not these Leafs can hang on as Game 1 begins to completely slip away from them.
If the Leafs somehow blow this lead and allow the Panthers to win, then there might just be riots in the streets of Toronto tonight.
