Another Bad Night For Toskala

from Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun,
The Maple Leafs netminder offered little resistance as four goals flowed past him in a span of 11 minutes, 16 seconds in the second period, giving the Buffalo Sabres all they required for a 5-2 win over Toronto at the HSBC Arena.
The outburst came on just six shots, drowned a 1-0 Leafs lead thanks to Viktor Stalberg’s first NHL goal and led to the yanking of Toskala in favour of Jonas Gustavsson, who made his first appearance since leaving a game on Dec. 1 with heart problems.
“We’re not getting any saves, everybody gets shaky and you suffer breakdowns trying to run around,” Leafs coach Ron Wilson said. “If you make mistakes, you have to buckle down and get the job done. Unfortunately, (Toskala) did not and I had to get him out of there.”
Remember the embarrassing goal Toskala allowed to New York Islanders defenceman Rob Davison in March 2008? Davison’s shot from 197 feet skipped past Toskala one night on Long Island, making the goalie the butt of jokes and giving him a spot on highlight reels.
Well, Toskala came close to outdoing himself.
read on and watch a goal Toskala wish he had back during the Leafs loss to the Sabres Friday night.

Wow, is that ugly!
It is amazing how much goalie play influences a team.
The Wings have run up against hot goalies regulary in the playoffs, but in Hockeytown we have not fully experienced this in recent years until Jimmah got hot for the Wings.
As a result, this decimated team has been able to grind out some wins.
Way to go, Jimmah!
