Do people think Vesa Toskala isn't good?

Question

im just curious, i've seen people say he is horrible... or do leaf fans just need someone to point the finger at?

Answer 1

I THINK HE WAS GOOD WHEN HE WAS IN THE SHARKS

Answer 2

Where'd you get this idea that Leafs fans are blaming him for the crappiness? Any blowhard knows that it's the management is at fault.

Answer 3

Vesa Toskala is another great goalie who is going to be wasted by the Leafs, by the time Toronto rights this ship if they ever do Toskala's better days will be behind him.

Answer 4

No, he's good.

It's the defense in front of him.

Answer 5

Well I'm a Leaf fan and I think Toskala is an amazing goaltender.

Answer 6

Jake is absolutely right. In one game the Florida Panthers scored eight goals on Toronto, 4 of which were scored on Toskala. However, Jake seemed to forget that they played four times this year with the Leafs winning all three of the other games. So yup, they (Toskala and the Leafs) might suck, but they're apparently a lot better than the Panthers.

Oh, and the winning goalie in the other 3 games - Toskala.

Finally, something to gloat about in Leafland.

Toskala is the least of our problems. He's good.

Answer 7

I think Toskola is a great goalie! He has a lot of skill and potential. Some of his saves are amazing! Even though he made that made that mistake i still think he is great!

Answer 8

Who said Toskala is no good?  He had a sub-par pre-season last year but he was one of the few that played well during the entire regular season.  He is one of our hopes for the future.  He is one of the few good deals that JFJ made.....even though we had to go through Raycroft to get to Toskala.  I live in Toronto and I read all the sports media from the area.  I have NEVER heard anything negative about Toskala from the media and everyone I know including myself thinks Toskala is one of the greatest in the NHL.  We Leaf fans have enough players already to blame.......McCabe, Tucker, Wellwood, even Sundin.  Toskala has never been a target of any sane Leaf fan.

Answer 9

No, not really.  Toskala isn't an all-star or anything, but he's a shining light in the Leafs organization.

Answer 10

i think Vesa is a good goalie. its just that there's no defence infront of him and when he does let in goals, the forwards don't go ahead and score on the opposition's netminder. we got a good goalie. now we need are forwards....and defencemen.

Answer 11

Even though I am not a Leafs fan, nor was I a Sharks fan when was there, he's better than people think. One has to face the facts: in SJ the #1 was Nabokov, so fans were used to seeing one of the best goalies and expected the same of Vesku; and Toronto well they live, breathe and sleep hockey (and as soon as the Leafs are ko'd play golf)

PS hey Vesa, looking 4a bouncing puck? It's beyond you, glove side .. nauraa aannen

Answer 12

I think he's very good, I wish my Avs would've gotten him when they had the chance.

Answer 13

VESA TOSKALA SUCKS d**k LEAFS SUCK....GO PANTHERS WE RAPED THE LEAFS 8-0
