All this guy does is win. He is like a good luck charm. His overall stats aren't mind boggling but what is mind boggling is his record. Since coming to Saskatoon he is 50-11-3-1. He does have a great team in front of him but so does Morrison and his record in the same span is 26-19-0-4. I have seen flashier goaltenders before like Holtby but Stanford makes the big saves when they count the most and simply wins games. How can you not start this guy 90% of the games. This year he is 16-1-0-0. Thats with missing a few weeks from a concussion.
Even when he isn't his best he makes a key save here and there to keep his team in it and ends up winning the games. Whatever he is doing keep it up. I have never liked the idea of keeping a goalie as an overage player especially when the Blades were stacked with 20 yr olds this year, but now I can see how Lorne couldn't get rid of this guy.
All the guy does is win hockey games. Good on him
