Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Maple Leafs at Godless Killing Machines

Toronto Maple Leafs at San Jose Sharks, Dec 2, 2008 10:30 PM EST


This is a brawl from the famous 1994 Western Conference Semi-Final when Johan Garpenlov had Bob Cole convinced that they were going to meet the Canucks.

The San Jose crowd has always been pretty ahead of the curve.

fun shark facts ...

When you call them “killing machines” you aren’t kidding.

- They have multiple rows of teeth like a conveyor belt. When one is lost, another moves forward to take it’s place.
- Instead of scales, they have dermal denticles, so they even have teeth on their skin.
- Some species are not only live-bearing, but the embryos swim freely in utero and actually eat each other.
      (Sand tiger sharks are one species known to commit such in utero siblicide.)

On the other hand, they aren’t vegetarians, so they have no reason to prey on Maple Leafs. :)

They probably could.

Tiger sharks have been found with car license plates in their stomachs, so sharks can ingest anything.

A drunk shark would be pretty funny, though. I’m picturing a hammerhead swimming lopsided and giggling.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but I hate this line of logic. If Cujo isn’t even an option, he needs to be bought out pronto.

Tosk needs to get hot, but he also needs to stay healthy. The last thing this club needs is one of it’s potentially major trade assets tearing a groin or tweaking a knee leading up to the trade deadline.

In hindsight, Vesa probably shouldn’t have played. But by the sounds of it, the goals given up by Vesa weren’t due to fatigue. The team just got overwhelmed tonight and as a whole, didn’t have a full tank. And again, there was no way Vesa wasn’t going to play tonight.

The sens moved RIchardson from the blue line to the coaching ranks this week, no shame in the same happening for Cujo.

I just think player preferences be damned, the team needs to focus on obtaining peak value for tradeable assets.

Can’t Vesa be the goalie of the future? The future being 2/3 years down the road?

The short answer is no

I think there are two successful models for elite teams:

1. Have a truly elite goalie
2. Have a cheap-ass goalie like Osgoode, funnel the additioanl resources into talented two-way players and play a system that keeps the shots and chances way down.

Vesa ain’t elite and at $4M he ain’t cheap.

I’m often wrong, just never in doubt.

And Pogge needs to play 60+ games in the AHL this year and then get five or so starts with the Leafs in Feb/March to help clarify the Leafs goaltending issues.

If he has the stuff, all the more reason to move Toskala.

Well, by playing Toskala is boosting his trade value. We all know Cujo’s value, so it wouldn’t really matter to me for this game to play him. You have to at least show the team isn’t throwing the white flag before the game even starts.

by bkblades on Dec 2, 2008 11:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Sorry if I’m not being clear, but what I’m worried about is over-playing Toskala. If Cujo is no longer an option Toskala is going to have to shoulder a heavy load. Historically he’s broken down whenever he’s played a lot of games. I’m more concerned about injury than I am with the results of any particular game.

The wins and losses don’t matter so much this year, asset management does.

Thanks for clearing up your stance. And yes, asset management is extremely important, perhaps the most important thing this year’s team has to do. And I agree Toskie’s workload has to be managed. But because Toskala was so bad early this season, I’m thinking this was the best way to increase his value.

by bkblades on Dec 2, 2008 11:44 PM EST up reply actions  

I just hope he doesn’t regress after getting bombed by the Sharks.

I just figure no one really expected the Leafs to win tonight so why take the risk and play a prime asset back to back?

Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...

by mf37 on Dec 2, 2008 11:46 PM EST up reply actions  

My thought process here is that if the Leafs managed to pull off a win, this would have put Toskala back into that conversation of "top-tier’ goaltending. Perhaps, the reward seemed bigger than the risk.

I don’t think Toskala will regress after this game. Again, if he already knew the challenge was a tall task, I would assume Toskala and the Leafs will see this as a “bonus” game. Who knows though. I didn’t think he would start so epically bad either.

I like Cujo v. Phoenix and the Toskala v. Washington.

Toskala really is the epitome of sunk cost – best to hope he regains some form and pulls in some assets at the deadline.

by mf37 on Dec 2, 2008 11:54 PM EST up reply actions  

To be honest, I see Toskala staying with this team. He’s really not much of a trading commodity, unless a team really feels like he’ll be a great co-starter for the playoffs. I don’t see many starting goalies traded at the deadline.

by bkblades on Dec 2, 2008 11:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I’d like to see him moved, even if it’s for a Brion/Huet like 2nd round pick.

 $4M is way too much for the level of goaltending he provides and he’s a free agent at the end of the 2010 season.

Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...

by mf37 on Dec 3, 2008 12:03 AM EST up reply actions  

I see him moved in the offseason

Unless he gets at least north of .900 in sv%, and even then I don’t think it’s enough, I don’t think he can net a 2nd rounder. I just don’t see a would-be contender having much more worse goaltending to justify a Toskala trade. Most teams that want goaltending are moving towards their own players and/or prospects.

by bkblades on Dec 3, 2008 12:08 AM EST up reply actions  

I don’t think that’s fair to Cujo, and I think the other guys in the room would smell a rat. They wouldn’t like it that one of their mates was being hung out to dry and purposely embarrassed. That’s the way a coach loses a team and creates factions in a dressing room.

If the team wants Cujo gone (and they should), they need to do it like mature adults. Sit down and talk to him. Explain (in more flowery language) how he sucks donkey balls and is, for lack of a better word, shit-canned. Then have a tearful ceremony where he announces he’s come to the conclusion that his career is done and he’s moving on to other opportunities in the organization. The players will respect that.

You need to instill loyalty in the team if you’re going to ask them to go to war for you, especially when they know they’re undermanned as far as talent goes.

I completely agree – but that’s not in Ronny’s control. I’m just saying he doesn’t have a realistic second option right now, so he has to do what he has to do and keep his fingers crossed.

I said the other night that Cujo should be “convinced” to retire. He’s done. He gave us some great memories and I think he’s a class act who wasn’t respected the way he should have been when he was here the first time around. But he’s playing like a 42 year old goaltender not named “Johnny Bower” right now and it’s unlikely that will change in the future.

How bad does that Blake deal look now? Signed through 2012…

All the mediots seem to think he’ll be bought out in the offseason, that makes him a cap hit until 2015.

The good news is, if the Sharks win a cup this year JFJ gets a ring.

And here's what I said about Toskala

Back in July, 2007:

MLSE has signed Toskala to a new, two year, $8M contract good for an annual cap hit of $4M.

MLSE was in a bit of a bind on this one – if they don’t negotiate a new deal, Toskala becomes a UFA at the end of this season and could theoretically hit the open market. Having a player walk after 50+ games isn’t a great return on three draft picks…

That said, maybe those big hockey brains down in the executive suites at the ACC could learn something from previous experience (Maybe? Just once? Please?).

Last year after dealing for Raycroft, the MLSE brass signed him to an extension before he played a single game for the blue and white.

That worked out craptacularly well for my beloved Leafs.

So well, in fact, that the club decided to deal away more of the future for another starting goalie.

And about 365 days after signing an untested Raycroft, the same big brains have decided to offer Toskala a two-year deal for $8M – all before Toskala stops a single puck for the big club.

What’s the rush? Why not see how the new boy does and negotiate a deal as the season progresses…$4M is quite the payday for a guy who’s barely played 100 games.

I disagreed with The Vesa’s extension as well. I think I said just about the same. How it turned out to be such a disaster with Raycrap, and yet the lesson was not learned.

Every time we talked about getting married it was clear that the plans were for everyone but us.

It was odd and very difficult leap to realize that it was our wedding and we coudl do whatever the hell we wanted.

I proposed on a Thursday, got the license and rings on the Friday, booked a minister over the weekend and we were married at a friend’s vineyard in Niagara on the Lake the following Tuesday.

You should have asked for his autograph.

And then ripped it up in front of his dirty mug.

Comeback?

When I was a kid I used to constantly recalculate how quickly the Leafs had to score goals in the third period to tie it up. Right now, they have to score a goal about every 20 seconds to make this one competitive…soon to be 15 seconds. It doesn’t look good for the blue and white.

I foresee Telly with a shut-out and at least one Coyote scoring his first goal of the year.
