Toskala not good enough in Vancouver

It’s tough to single out any given player in a team sport, but when it’s so obvious…

Toskala has to get better. Be better. Play better.

he’s seriously closing in on stats that will rank him dead last amongst goalies in the league.  When your team is rebuilding and fragile, this is such a bad thing.

Ron Wilson yanked Toskala last night and the Leafs responded with too little too late. Was Luongo the difference? I don’t know about that.  Was it that Luongo was coming off 3 consecutive shutouts and that got in the Leafs’ heads? Don’t know about that. Is it that we’re missing a stud defenceman or two? Doesn’t help, that’s for sure. But the puck stops with Toskala. Or, so it should.

Tough 3 gamer then, going 1 – 2 before heading back to face the mighty Bruins. The Blackhawks are in town this week too, as well as the Thrashers. Then off to Ottawa to face the slumping Sens. And its back to .500 hockey with 4 OT losses.

One thing for sure. If Toskala doesn’t start boning up and stopping some of that rubber things will start getting a little tougher for the Leafs.
