Lest we forget...he played injured last year...

excuses excuses, his MRIs turned out fine.. He said he was injured to cover his ass, and Toronto went along with it.. Although Burke and Wilson were not impressed and I don't blame them

Toskala is easily one of the few bright spots on that entire roster. Honestly, I hope he gets traded, bought out, something. That way, it will be just another lesson to the "Leaf Nation." Something like Paul Maurice was. Eventually, all the scapegoats disappear and you have no other option but to realize that the team is just weak.



buddy, I can't wait till Toskala is gone then Toronto can finally have a decent netminder, someone that can actually stop the puck... And i was happy when they got rid of Paul Maurice he was a horrible coach in Toronto... Wilson did a great job with the Leafs this past season.

C. Mason, Rinne, and Ward

Scott Clemmenson
Craig Anderson
Chris Mason
Chris Osgood

Clemmenson held the for in Jersey while Brodeur was injured. Anderson led a weak Panther team to the verge of a playoff berth
And Mason was incredible down the stretch to boost the blues from the basement to a 6th place finish in the western conference.
Osgood should be self explanatory.

Go Habs Go!!

These are perceptive choices...hard to disagree....
JOSHUACANADA Posted - 06/04/2009 : 13:24:06
Chris is the only one of the 2 to be underated. I think everyone here has seen enough of Steve Mason not to underate this kid. For thoughs of you that dont remember Chris Mason is the Guy who unseated Vokoun in Nashville for the #1 got unseated by Ellis and wound up the number #1 in St Louis during their incredible run to the post season.

Although I love talking about crappy TO goalies in the post season, is this post not about underated goalies



Pretty sure Toskala's better then any of the Sens goalies (Elliott, Auld or Leclaire)

"Most people spend time and energy going around problems, rather than trying to solve them" - Henry Ford



there is no way Toskala's better than Elliott or Leclaire. Auld and Toskala are about even can't handle number 1 duties, nothing more than a backup
Guest9838 Posted - 06/03/2009 : 14:09:50
Leclaire could really be a hidden gem. His career numbers (2.82GAA, .907%) in Clb weren't that bad considering how brutal Clb was for pretty much every year until this year.

If he goes back to his 07-08 form (2.25GAA, .919%, 9SO in 54 games) I'd say they have a great shot to get back in the playoffs. I think it was a pretty fair gamble for what they gave up.

Leclaire's injury induced numbers from last year though are about as bad as Toskala's though, so it could be a flip of a coin between the two.
Matt_Roberts85 Posted - 06/03/2009 : 13:52:40
ok, its decent I guess... but its not a guaranteed solution to the goalie situation in ottawa (which has plagued them since the beginning of time). Will Brian (not billy...) Elliot get the sens to the playoffs and carry them deep? If not, than the goaltending situation is not resolved. If you think Alex Auld will do that than your really rolling the dice....

Leclaire is the sens real shot at having a bonifide goalie. I hope for the leafs sake he falls right on his face, but I think he should do ok if his injury problems are behind him.

There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E".

Sens fans had better pray that Leclaire starts the year off looking like the goalie that played so well in 07-08, not the cripple from 08-09.

There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E".

Whats so wrong with Auld and Elliot if Leclair cant regain form post ankle injury. At least they dont take up cap space and there save % are good not great. This team is really built on a score 1st score often type mentality.

Elliot did prove last year he is a starting goalie. Last year he get called up a goes 16-8-3 with a team which was having a hard time finding anything positive.

I will at least agree with you on the point of...

Pogge should be traded while he's worth something, what? I have no clue. He's not the goalie "of the future"....

Fine keep riding that dead horse then. At least my team has there goalie problems fixed. All they gotta do is figure which two to ride and which one to trade. Toskala is a good goalie not a great goalie and Pogge is a not able to play with the big boy's. No other goalie's have signed. If you are not a fan of this team you already know this. Toskala has a lot to prove this year to get non TO fans back in the believer column.

Well, Luongo has never won anything of consequence, maybe its a function of bad luck, but people talk about him being the best goalie in the world and he's never got past the second round of the playoffs... regular season success is nice and all, but if you want to TRULY be the best, you have to prove it when it counts the most.

Thats why I have Turco on there as well.

Carey Price is just young, I think he will turn out to be a very good goalie, but "Jesus Price" he is not.

There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E".

Wow this might be the most backwards statement I've ever heard. "Turco underated, Loungo cant win when it counts". Turco has a cup as a backup and has always been surounded by a top notch defensive team. He cant win in a clutch situation to save his life.

Loungo is the goalie who gets the first call for international play and has only been in the playoff for 4 rounds of hockey in 2 years. Vancouver is not that good of a team, much like Montreal they are mostly overhyped. You think Loungo is overated, if he played for T.O in there current state in 2008-09 Toronto might have made the playoffs.



i agree with you on that.. if Luongo played for the Leafs this past season the Leafs without a doubt would have made the playoffs.. The main thing Toronto is lacking on is Goaltending, Toskala doesn't cut it he's not good enough to be a number 1 goalie for any team, he's nothing more than a backup. All Toronto needs is a good goalie and they will be a Playoff contending team. There D is solid, it wouldn't hurt to have a key franchise point getter possibly Tavares. But the main thing Toronto needs is a good goalie


Toronto has a fine goalie in Toskala. Just cause he plays like crap in T.O doesnt mean hes crap, he just cant carry a team that bad. And also, Gerber is not and will never be a #1 goalie. He has been given the reins twice and in Carolina choked in the playoffs and in Ottawa just plain sucked. If Ottawa didnt want him, why do you think he is such a fantastic goalie?

How is Osgood overated. He steps up his game when it is more important, like he has during these playoffs

As for underrated goalies, Anderson, Bryzgalov, and Roloson. Roloson is a bit biased but people keep sayin he is too old and is crap or whatever. If it wasnt for him the Oilers were done

What you guys don't seem to understand that is any goalie who comes to Toronto in the current situation is going to be ripped apart.

SJ managed to be a dominant team with Toskola in net which is one of the reasons why people thought he should have a shot at #1 somewhere. The reason he's seemingly playing so poorly in Toronto is because Toronto is so weak currently.

If Luongo came to Toronto he wouldn't change a thing. People would be getting on his case all the time starting to point out flaws in his game. A goalie can only do so much. Put Brodeur on a 5 year-old house league and pit them up against the Red Wings and Brodeur isn't going to have much of a chance.




Seriously??? I mean, the Leafs are easily a playoff team and the only thing they are missing is a goalie. The defense is brilliant and they only look bad because Toskala is so horrible. The guys doesn't belong on the ice, let alone in the NHL.

TO would have a Cup if it wasn't for Toskala

Great point. The Leafs defense has been pretty bad for the last two years. in 07-08, Toskala won 6 straight, and in all 6 games, faced 40+ shots. So to say he's not good, is ridiculous. A goalie can't steal every game for you. If the Leafs can play solid defensive hockey for Vesa, he will win 35 games, at least.

"Turco underated, Loungo cant win when it counts" was your claim. I disagreed with your claim. I said Turco is not underated as your list claimed. He cannot handle playoff pressure. Hence the reason I said he cant win in a clutch situation to save his life.

I also stated in my counter statement that Loungo was not overated. If you look at his Canada cup and world championship stats you will see this goalie is a clutch goalie, with one bad game in the Vancouver vs. Chicago series.

Ok...im not sure if you disagree with me or agree haha. Turco won as a backup...big deal, eddie belfour played every lick of those playoffs. Since then what has he done? He helped the stars to the conference final last year, then fell apart this year.

Luongo got shelled in the most important game of his career a couple weeks ago, and has never been a starter for any sort of pro championship (at least that im aware of... if im wrong please correct me).

You say " He cant win in a clutch situation to save his life " when referring to Turco.... I thought you were backing turco?


Than your statement on Luongo is kinda all over the place, he is the first choice to the starter in the olympics even though he has only been in the playoff for 4 rounds of hockey in 2 years. Vncouver is over hyped like toronto and montreal, and he could have maybe got toronto in the playoffs this year....ok? what does that mean? Are you trying to say that he is NOT overrated? I just dont follow

Kinda funny that if Toronto had a goalie they would be a playoff team lol. Maybe they arent so far away afterall


There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E".

Most under-rated goalies in the league, Pekka Rinne, Josh Harding Steven Valliquete



Gerber is underrated he's a great goalie who has never really been given the chance as a number 1 goalie which he deserves.

Toskala is overrated I can't see how anyone can say he's underrated.. He was backup in San Jose alot of teams thought he was good because he played for San Jose. He got his chance with Toronto and he was horribly inconsistent, gives up too easily and he looks like a blind man most games plays 20 horrible games in a row and finally plays a decent game, that's not how a number 1 caliber goalie should play



Hanley, I'm sorry, but you are way off on this one. Gerber was handed the starting job, not once, but twice. He wasn't able to sustain it. Yes he starts off well and usually go on a little tear, but then he always comes back down to Earth and starts letting in the softies. He IS a good backup, but he can't handle the pressue of an everyday goalie. One of the knocks on him in Ottawa was not being able to handle the media. You think thats worse in TO? Pasty is right, he WILL drive you nuts.

Well, Luongo has never won anything of consequence, maybe its a function of bad luck, but people talk about him being the best goalie in the world and he's never got past the second round of the playoffs... regular season success is nice and all, but if you want to TRULY be the best, you have to prove it when it counts the most.

Thats why I have Turco on there as well.

Carey Price is just young, I think he will turn out to be a very good goalie, but "Jesus Price" he is not.

There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E".

I have no problem with your "overrated" list, but you will hear it from Canucks and Habs fans lol
