Post-Game: Leafs Lay a Yule Log
Hmmm.. I just watched as a kid my brother used to beat in minor hockey lit up Toskala/Joseph for a hat-trick. Oh, and Wilson didn’t pull Toskala after the first because Joseph’s no better.
Thank god Pogge didn’t play. Toskala did himself no favours, but the Leafs didn’t show up to play. That simple.
If you a) actually opted to suffer instead of utilizing the obvious alternative on TSN (check out Aldred’s blog) and b) actually want to discuss this game, use this thread.

Let’s just forget this happened
Merry Christmas Alec and all

Hope this means Pogge gets the next start against Atlanta.
Merry Christmas everyone!

You mean NYI? yeah, both Joseph and Veto sucked so its Pogge Episode 2 time

Yes, you’re right, my mistake.
Was watching some of the ATL/NYI game highlights and I just mixed them up.

Toskala is not all to blame, the team as a whole was terrible. Hopefully Santa gives the Leafs the gift of consistency…

I’m thinking Toskala pleaded his case to RW to play instead of Pogge. RW said yes, when Toskala stunk out the joint he left him in as if to say, you wanted it.
Just speculation thoough

Steve begs to differ, Ron.
Convincing too

Good god, that was the most depressing blog I’ve ever read, Alec.
He’s shown he’s got the skill, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt that he reverse this and regain his form.
He can do it. I have faith…..god help us all!

Maybe that groin injury is worse than we’ve been told. Toskala certainly has a history of them (and I’d prefer that being true to the alternative).

Yikes that blog about Toskala makes me shudder. But another disturbing trend I would like to know the answer to is this: How many first-shot goals has he given up this season? It’s all a bit of a Twilight Zone episode for me, you can feel it coming when it does happen. I really felt that of all the cogs in the wheel, this one was a gimmie.

I just want to say, since the advertisement with thescore.ca you guys really turned up the heat and made this site amazing. It’s only a matter of time until you’re all rolling in the big bucks and hockeybuzz.com is the second site to click on, not the first.

It’s a good thing the Leafs were on a winning streak last night otherwise the score may have been worse. They were playing for the third out of four nights, just came home from a road trip, had the holidays on their minds, and had an inconsitent goaltender in their net. I’m getting sick of seeing the first shot go in; I have never seen that happen as often as it has happened to Toskala this year. The sad thing is the Leafs have to stick with Toskala for now until he turns this thing around. That way they can receive a decent return for him.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year All!
