Jonas Gustavsson on IR, Joey MacDonald Recalled

Fan590 is reporting that Jonas Gustavsson has been placed on IR with a groin pull. Joey MacDonald has been called up on emergency recall (doesn't have to clear waivers).

It's estimated that Gustavsson will be out for at least one week. 

blurr update - Hot off the presses, the Canadian Press is now reporting the same:

The Toronto Maple Leafs placed Jonas Gustavsson on injured reserve Thursday morning with a groin injury and recalled fellow goaltender Joey MacDonald from the Toronto Marlies of the AHL.

Gustavsson, nicknamed The Monster, is expected to miss at least one week.

PPP Update: Chemmy and I have been tossing around ideas on how to deal with this news. Here is what we have:

How to commit suicide quickly and without a lot of fanfare

  1. Cut femoral artery in a hot tub
  2. Jump off of a bridge into ottawa traffic
  3. The Wellwood - Try to eat as much as Kyle Wellwood

What ones can you come up with?

Actually I’m going to make a Vesa voodoo doll and repeatedly stab his groin so he can be put on long term IR once the Monster is back; so Gustavsson can start with MacDonald as the backup.

Dear Poseidon,

I know your busy with your fish stuff but if you could see fit to help out with our goalie situation and give Toskala helping hand to actually play decent, I would really appreciate it. And at the same time if you could erase the other GM’s memory of the past couple years that would be good too.

I hope that MacDonald starts. Saturday’s game is against Pittsburgh who just got embarrassed by Phoenix. They are going to be pissed and come out with a hell of a chip on their shoulders. MacDonald will get into the game regardless of if he starts or not, so might as well already have him out there at the beginning.

This could be a good thing.

After last week, we were on the verge of a full-fledged goalie controversy. And it didn’t sound like Toskala was taking it well. Wilson was in a no-win situatiuon, because if he made the right call then Toskala might pull a suck and end up being a distraction.

Instead, we can play Vesa for the next few tough matchups, watch him get lit up, and then when Monster comes back there won’t be a controversy anymore.

And also, we’ll be 0-6.

And Gustavsson seems injury prone.

So yeah… a good thing.

Is it really fair to suggest he may be injury prone at this point? I wouldn’t equate surgery for a naturally occurring, easily treated heart condition to the types of musculoskeletal injuries that arise out of being banged around on the ice.

In the meantime, rookie forward Viktor Stalberg will not play Saturday against Pittsburgh. Stalberg left Tuesday’s game against Ottawa with concussion symptoms after a devastating hit from Anton Volchenkov.

After examinations by the medical staff, though, Stalberg was pronounced free of symptoms.

“We should have him back on the ice Saturday and hopefully ready to play by Monday,” Wilson said.

From Zwolinski in the Star today:

“I got points in the first game (overtime loss to Montreal), and I’ve lost one game … it’s only three games into the season and I’m working on being ready for the next one,” Toskala said.

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry tries to convince Elaine that spending another week at his parents condo will only seem like a couple of days.

Ya know, I’ve sort of been on the fence between the “Waive Toskala” crowd and the “All We Are Saying, is Give Tosk a Chance” crowd, but this meh attitude of his really fucking irks me.

I knew I would start recruiting disciples sooner or later.

Given the Leafs’ luck, they’ll tank and take 1st overall…wait Boston’ll take it. Taylor Hall will turn into the best player since Gretzky and Burke’s hair will grow even whiter.

Go Houston Rockets!

If that happens I will stop blogging; buy 10 Copies of Abomination and immediately start cheering for another team.

In another sport.
