Monster win timely

It wasn’t the most exciting game to watch, but shutouts are usually like that unless it’s a blowout. The Leafs were the better team last night, which makes you wonder what the heck is going on with the Bruins, who are favourites in the division and expected to do a lot of damage this coming spring. Welcome to Slump City Boston. Feel my pain.

Jonas Gustavsson looked ready for prime time all night long. After Toskala’s meltdown against Buffalo, Gustavsson couldn’t have picked a better time.  Tough opponent. Home ice fans. Must win situation.

Boom.

Every time we play the Bruins it conjurs memories of Raycroft, Tuukka Rask (who played last night), and John Ferguson Jr. What a nightmare deal that was. And it looks like the Toskala deal isn’t going to turn out much better. Funny, that was the first shutout on home ice since November 2007. How long has Toskala been on our roster again? Right.

I wonder if the NHL is going to review the hit on Stajan. It was clearly a hit ot the head, but Stajan’s head was down. And it was clearly an elbow, but Stajan was hunched over so much  Boychuk would have had to kneel to hit with his shoulder. I’m betting the league will look and do nothing.

Now those pesky Sabres are in town for another go.

Betting Gustavsson gets the start.

GO LEAFS GO!!!
