For Vesa's Eyes Only

Vesa, listen to the sound of my voice.  Throw away your cares.  Focus only on my voice.  Vesa, you are feeling relaxed.  So relaxed.  A deep calm is coming over you.  Do you feel it Vesa?  Embrace the peace.  Concentrate on that feeling of contentment, let it consume you Vesa.  And as it consumes you, feel your conscious mind let go. 

Feel your eyes getting heavy Vesa.  Your mind wants to wander, let it do so.  You are feeling so relaxed now.  Throw away your cares.  Feel your toes as they relax.  Feel your knees relax.  Feel your legs relax.  Slowly, bit by bit, let your body relax Vesa.  Good.  You will feel so relaxed, you might even fall asleep.  You might become entranced in your contentment.  Yes Vesa, a trance... 

Are you relaxed Vesa?  Are you in a trance?  Excellent.  Now, repeat after me:  I will not play like Vesa Toskala.  I will not let in a soft goal.  I will get...wait.  Why is your head bopping?  Vesa?  Vesa!?  VESSSAAAAA!!!!!!

And that's how Vesa became a terrible goalie, he's stuck in a trance.  (via www.clixbagoftricks.com)

Ugh...

I think Wilson coulda waited till next week before starting Vesa. At least it will be against the Hurricanes or SNES

We’re going to get spanked tonight. I’d rather have Vesa take the loss than Gustavsson.

Here's to...

hoping the Leafs give Gunnarsson a long look.

considering the expectations of most Leaf fans, no, he won’t be that good. But if he can just be solid, that’ll go a long way.

is trade with chicago true?!

cause thats what they’re saying over at Chicago’s blog, Second City Hockey.

This is a fine quote from their article

we’ll also get the Leafs to throw in Vesa Toskala to solve the major problem in the net.

yeah I pretty much died laughing too.

You know what's weird?

It’s Friday the 13th and Toskala’s starting. Last time Toskala started was on Halloween.

Coincidence? Fate? WIlson once again avoiding a cliched headline with The Monster in net?

Posted 5 new (old) photos over at Vintage Leafs yesterday afternoon.
Corson, Roberts, Ballard, Frycer, Conacher, Smythe, Primeau and Broda are all included.

love the pictures, keep up the great work. Its cool to see Conne Smythe in his military uniform, what a badass he was.

is wilson a retard? what’s his deal?
if they were able to scratch a good player with 4 mil dollars of cap hit, why haven’t they been able to send down to the marlies an awful player with 4 mil of cap hit?
are they increasing vesa’s trade value by letting other teams see how shitty of a goalie he is?

Go Houston Rockets!

hey, vesa played decently against Montreal (except for the 1st goal against) and made a few big saves late in the game to send it to OT. As much flak as the guy gets, i still think he is capable of playing a solid game.

I dont think he can string together 3 or 4 solid games, but with spot duty I think he could surprise us.

We must have faith in the Vesa!

The Vesa is strong! He will not yield!

His bad habits picked up last year have been beaten out of him!

He scored fifty goals on Brodeur in NHL 96 this weekend. He beat Gigyas! He demolished Lavos! His confidence is restored!

Pssht Giygas is like the easiest boss ever. You buy three of those amulets from Ness’ dream world and equip them on your players (you can’t on the asian dude) and you’re immune to his instant death thingy.

It’s so sad =(

Lavos is ridiculously easy to beat too. =D

by Theodles on Nov 13, 2009 5:22 PM EST up reply actions  

The Hawks are a team that usually go down 2-3 goals to the Leafs early...

and then they come back to win. That’s how it’s been the last 2 years.

But, call me crazy, I think this is gonna be a friggin blowout loss tonight.

They certainly did that when they ruined Wendel Clark night last year. A 5-4 loss in overtime after the Leafs were up 3-0 to start the game, and 4-2 entering the 3rd.

Assholes.

Time to get revenge for ruining that special night.
