"It was a good third period, but the first two periods, we kind of let them walk all over us. And we just didn't play our game. They outworked us in front of the net. They blocked shots. They beat us up and down the ice. And the score is indicative of that. They just outworked us, plain and simple,"
"Maybe we can take a page out of their book and start getting to the net. I mean, for us, we like to go low to high and shoot. But for their goalie, it's like playing catch in the yard. He's seeing everything."
Anthony Stolarz faced heavy traffic and physical play while making numerous saves during a 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle. He expressed frustration that teammates failed to match the Kraken's work in front of the net, citing blocked shots and getting beaten up and down the ice. Mason Marchment crashed Stolarz's crease late in the second period, taking the goalie into the back of the net while no Leafs skaters responded physically. Stolarz urged the team to get to the net more rather than relying on low-to-high shots. The Leafs outshot Seattle 29-28 and led in shot attempts and high-danger chances, but the lack of physical support proved costly.
