Podein25 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Anthony StolarzHey, OHL guys: is Stolarz any good or what? Is it a case of having all the tools but no box to put them in (or whatever that saying is)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 @Podein25 He's had a world class team in front of him, (well, 13 more than 14) but failed when it mattered most. He let in some soft goals that deflated the team in front of him. I think he's got an interesting skill set, and the problems should be fixable. I like his frame and movement, that is half the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He let in some soft goals that deflated the team in front of him. I think he's got an interesting skill set, and the problems should be fixable. I like his frame and movement, that is half the battle. In fairness, when he got to London his first year, he barely played any games prior to joining the Knights. Once he joined the Knights, he was played so much that he wore out when the OHL Playoffs were underway. The series against the Plymouth Whalers, he stole the show. By the time Barrie and the Memorial Cup tournament came around, he was gassed. As for the second year, missing all those games with the cut and then the 8 game suspension set him back and when he did play in the Memorial Cup tournament, his timing was off. I'm a fan of Stolarz. He's got exceptional lateral movement, his glove hand is superb, he's getting much better with his stick handling and his rebound control has improved from when he first arrived in the OHL. He's also got a fantastic work ethic in that he's usually the first guy on the ice and the last guy to leave the ice and he's a stickler for his own performance in that he goes over tape with the goaltending coaches to find areas where he can improve his game. Bill Dark, the goaltending coach in London, has said on numerous occasions that Stolarz is the most athletically talented and work oriented guy he's ever had to coach and Dark thinks Stolarz is destined for greatness. Stolarz is also a long term project. He's going to need two seasons in the AHL before he even sniffs anything at the NHL level. It's possible he gets the Tukka Rask treatment in terms of his development and that's certainly not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
