Wings_Fan_in_L.A 1 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 We lost Nabokov from the wavier. Should we find the other goaltender backup Jimmy Howard if Osgood can't come back? I think Toskala is another good choice for us. Although his record in Leafs were very bad, his reocrds in Sharks were good. So should we give him a chance in Motown????

Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 No. Simple as that. There is a reason the guy is playing in the minors. 1 asoras reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) We lost Nabokov from the wavier. Should we find the other goaltender backup Jimmy Howard if Osgood can't come back? I think Toskala is another good choice for us. Although his record in Leafs were very bad, his reocrds in Sharks were good. So should we give him a chance in Motown???? He's terrible. His numbers for the Sharks WERE good until he got a big contract, at which point he began eating donuts and stopped working hard. That said, he played in the SEL this season. As such, he'd need to go through waivers just like Nabokov did. Edited February 9, 2011 by Crymson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wing Across The Pond 196 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Ozzie has started skating, and Howie had 45 saves last game. I think we will be okay. This. We hit our regular post-New Year slump (if that's what you can call it every year) and now seem things seem to be righting themselves. Give Howard a bit more rest towards the end of the season and then he'll be ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 This is a joke right? Is there another goalie with the last name of Toskala that I am unaware of, or are you actually proposing THIS Vesa Toskala: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Toskala is at least Finnish. Shoutout to all the Finnish fans and fans of Finnish players on here, wooo! I think he sucks and I'd never want him on any NHL team anymore. Because there's a chance he may be returning to SM-liiga to his original club Ilves and he's still a good goalie at that level.

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 hahaha now this was funny. in all fairness that bounce at the end was hell. come on, I know you're playing Devil's advocate, but had he squared his body with the puck and not gone down when it was still 7 feet away, that wouldn't have happened... the crazy bounce maybe would have caused a scare, but it wouldn't have ended up in the back of the net...

puffy 97 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Sure he sucked on the Leafs, but look what he did with the Ducks. Undefeated with a 0.00 GAA! There's a reason they didn't even let him play one game there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
