Last time the Leafs had at least two goalies with similar stats was Potvin-Rhodes in 1993-94, but Potvin still played 66 games. I would go back to Wregget-Bester in 1988-89 that they had two goalies splitting duties with reasonably good results.

Ihnacek did cross my mind, but I thought I was mistaken. So I'll give myself a half-point for that. I also thought the Mahovlich's for a split second, but of course Pete never played with the Leafs. I knew Barry and Brian Cullen played together, but I thought they played with the Hawks. Of course, any 90s Leafs fan should know Barry is John Cullen's father.

[@bramabull111]

Fun fact: Since 2020, this has been the best statistical run of not only a true goaltending tandem in leafs history, but possibly the best goaltending statistics by all metrics in leafs history, period. By the criteria that the backup goalies (one or more) shared close to the same workload as the #1: 21 - Andersen + Campbell 22 - Campbell + Mrazek / Kallgren / Woll 23 - Samsonov + Murray/ kallgren / woll (Are among the best leafs regular season goaltending stats ever) and Stolarz and Woll are on pace to top this. By this criteria, the last time the leafs had a tandem this good was 1962/63 Johnny Bower and Don Simmons. With 73/74 trio of Doug Favell, Ed Johnston, and Dunc Wilson being strong but not as dominant as 62/63 or any 2020-current goalie tandems.

[@michaelmackay2782]

Logan Cooley low bridged Marner. That was the cause of the ruccus in the corner. That is why Morgan confronted Logan. Watched it a couple of times in the replay and it looked dirty and Marner is lucky it wasn't higher up on his knee. It was confusing to hear the penalty called hooking on that play. Good win led by the stars. Marner's skating is supernatural.

[@20thCenturyManTrad]

For those of you wondering who the Metz brothers were. Nick Metz was the Bob Gainey of the 30s and 40s, a master defensive forward who could play any position. Don Metz was a solid player who often spent the regular season in between the Leafs and the Pittsburgh Hornets the Leafs' farm team. Don came up big in the 42 comeback getting a hattrick in game 5 of the greatest comeback ever. While Don would never truly stick with the Leafs, he was almost always with the Leafs come playoff time.

[@Redz1991]

It’s an exciting time to be a leafs fan FINALLY!! We have never had this level of goaltending since eddy Balfour and cujo. We have never had this good of defence in probably two decades . Willy and Mitch seem to be taking their game to another level. Knies is one pace for 30+ goals , mcmann off to a nice start as well. Tavares has been a complete rejuvenated player he’s been great , I think taking the captain off him took a lot of pressure off him . If we can get domi going when he gets back, sky is the limit. I think we should and will likely add another top 6 forward if not top 9.. someone good in playoffs . First place should be our main priority this season . Go leafs go!!!!
