Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz hasn't played in a month, and according to head coach Craig Berube, you won't be seeing him around very soon.
The Toronto Maple Leafs had the perfect setup with their goaltenders last season, as they had Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll playing at a high level.
Both netminders were able to split the games, and this led to the perfect balance. Unfortunately, the Leafs don't have that luxury this season, as both goalies are injured.
While Joseph Woll is expected to return to the team soon enough, Anthony Stolarz is in a completely different position, as he has not skated in over a month.
No one really knows what is going on here, as Stolarz has barely shown his face, and the team has been quiet as a church mouse about what his injury actually is.
Is Anthony Stolarz coming back soon?
Today at optional practice, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube spoke to the media, where he was asked about what is going on with Stolarz, and if he will be back soon.
Berube was quick to note that the goalie is not close to coming back to the ice. When asked if his season was over, Berube was quick to shoot down such an assertion.
I wouldn't go there, but he's not going to be on the ice anytime soon.
No matter how you swing it, this looks extremely weird for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are constantly keeping injuries under wraps.
At a certain point, fans begin to ask questions, and that is exactly what we are seeing right now with the Leafs and Anthony Stolarz.
This is a situation that people want clarity on. To this day, we are still not sure what Stolarz is even dealing with. The lack of transparency is only going to lead to more questions.
