Vesa Toskala is a big asset/plus for the Leafs?? WOW.... If you want to excuse Toskala's poor play last year due to injuries, by all means, but he has been worse than ECHL quality to start the year and he deemed himself fully healthy at the start of camp. There are countless #s of goalies who lose their game's quickly (Jim Carey ring a bell???), and Vesa appears to be well on his way towards that end (minus the Vezina that Carey picked up). Allowing a weak goal or two a game, which Vesa has thus far, is unacceptable and has clearly rattled the guys playing in front of him. He's had his chance, and should Gustavsson remain healthy, we won't be seeing much more of Vesa in a Leafs jersey(unless Burke is cool with handing Taylor Hall to the Bruins next year). Absolutely sickening knowing the Leafs gave up Rask and a 1st/2nd/3rd round pick for two plugs in Raycroft/Toskala.

Voted for Megatron here... It's tough to win with brutal goaltending, but our defense (which was supposed to be our strongpoint) look pathetic out there. We were in the top 10 in goals for last year and look absolutely terrible trying to generate any offense this year. Sure the loss of Antropov/Moore might be one of the reasons, and Kessel is waiting in the wings, but there really is no excuse for the team's poor performance thus far. The game vs Ottawa, probably our best shot at a W in the first seven games, the team looked totally disinterested in being out there and screams that they are tuning Wilson out. Burke said that Ron has the controls on who is in the lineup, why would he continue to plug Rosehill and Mayers in the lineup with our offensive struggles and Tlusty, Bozak and Hanson waiting in the minors? The guy was not made for this market and if this garbage keeps up, i'll be shocked if he reaches 40 games!

Posted in response to Ron Wilson gets 40 games. If he can't turn it around, we have look at replacing him!.
