Toronto Maple Leafs Chase Anthony Stolarz from the Net After Disastrous Start Against Boston

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz got the start tonight against the Boston Bruins, but he has been so bad that the Leafs needed to chase him.
Anthony Stolarz has struggled at times this season, and tonight was no different, thanks to a disastrous first period and some change against the Boston Bruins.
After allowing four goals on 19 shots, the Maple Leafs decided to pull Stolarz from the net, replacing him with Dennis Hildeby.
This is a unique decision, especially when you consider how Hildeby is supposed to start for the Maple Leafs on Sunday night against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Stolarz has had a rough season for the Maple Leafs, and this latest performance is just a complete disaster for the netminder.
From calling out his teammates to getting pulled out of rivalry games, this is not the Stolarz we saw all throughout last season.
This was his 12th start in 15 games, so it is understandable that he is tired and just unable to get his feet underneath him.
Maple Leafs to get Joseph Woll back
Thankfully, there is something good happening soon. Joseph Woll is playing for the Toronto Marlies tonight and should be with the Maple Leafs soon.
At the end of the day, getting Woll back will allow head coach Craig Berube to split the time evenly between his two netminders.
The Leafs had one of the best tandems last season, and the team could benefit from having a two-goalie solution.
Whether or not the Toronto Maple Leafs can come back against the Bruins tonight, is something that still remains to be seen.
