Agreed.

Note that his only 2 losses were when he came in against the Caps down 3-0, and the team-wide bed-shitting they had against Ottawa, and even then the goals against were questionable.

Also in that caps game

The Leafs actually outscored Washington 3-2 with Gustavsson in net.

The most impressive thing to me is he’s got the same SV% as Henrik Lundqvist. I wonder how badly he wants to be playing for Sweden at the Olympics? (Gustavsson I mean).

UNLESS of course

the Rangers suck, and Lundqvist’s numbers aren’t very good all of a sudden, and Gustavsson’s are way way better.

He’s a pretty big deal in Sweden after last season, and his play at the World Championships. Never say never!

But yeah, Lundqvist is probably going to start.

If the games were in Europe (or anywhere outside NA), on the larger ice surface, The Monster might have a better shot, as he’s played that game more recently. But I think that in Vancouver, on NHL ice, it has to be Lundqvist. Sweden playing Gustavsson would be the equivalent of Canada playing Steve Mason.

Moustache Fever, not to be confused with swine flu.

by Shield on Nov 8, 2009 12:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Ok, your comparison is a bit off for a number of reasons

1. Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Marc-Andre Fleury, Cam Ward, Ray Emery, Marty Turco, Chris Mason, Martin Biron, Dwayne Roloson, Jose Theodore, Chris Osgood, Carey Price… Steve Mason

That’s a lot of NHL starting goalies who are Canadian.

Swedish goalies in the NHL? Henrik Lundqvist, Jonas Gustavsson, Johan Hedberg, Jhonas Enroth, and Erik Ersberg… the last 3 are all backups. So yeah, I don’t think arguing that Gustavsson MIGHT get the start ahead of Lundqvist if the former plays well and the latter plays poorly over the next 3 months is completely out of line.

It’s also a pretty huge difference from arguing in favour of Steve Mason… especially considering the fact that Mason has a 3.27 GAA and a .891 SV% while Gustavsson has a 2.60 GAA, and a .918 SV%.

Okay, you are reading way too much into this though. I was just trying to say that Sweden starting a young, up-and-comer over their most experienced veteran would be comparable to us doing the same. Mason had a great season, just as Gustavsson has had so far, but we would never start him ahead of an experienced veteran based on one year.

by Shield on Nov 8, 2009 2:37 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Meh...

European countries don’t look at things quite the way we do over here.

Swedes would strongly value Gustavsson’s level of play in Sweden last season also, and while Lundqvist is good, he hasn’t won anything since he moved to North America… no Vezina, and 2 playoff rounds isn’t as amazing as it sounds.

He’s made 1 all-star appearance, and was named to the all-rookie team in his first year. It’s still within the realm of possibility that Gustavsson will do both of those things THIS season.

Despite the whole rookie thing, I would argue that their play this season will have a major impact, and despite common perception, New York has had defensively oriented systems under Tom Renney for the past few seasons. This year under John Tortorella, his numbers are dipping a bit, and that is likely a reflection of Tortorella’s focus on offensive hockey over team D.

So far this year Lundqvist has his highest GAA in his time in the NHL, and he’s facing the highest number of shots per game on average that he has in his NHL career. He might not look so good come Christmas time if the Rangers get some injuries and take a bit of a slide.

Since beating the Leafs on the 17th for his 6th straight win

Lundqvist has gone 2-4-1 and had a non-decision as a fill in against San Jose, over his last 8 games.

His SV% and GAA over that stretch are .905 and 2.87 respectively. Not exactly all-star level numbers, but not horrible either.

Over his last 8 games Gustavsson is 3-3-2 with one of those being a fill in job also, only he got the decision as a loss when the team actually outscored the opposition. His SV% and GAA are .918 and 2.60… so he’s outplaying Lundqvist right now.

I agree with Shield on this one. I couldn’t see Sweden going with Gustavsson over Lundqvist, at least not to start. It’s not even about the numbers, it’s about loyalty. Lundqvist is their tried and tested goalie, he’s the default starter. He’ll have to play his way out of that position during the round robin in order for Gustavsson to get a legitimate shot.

by CanadianMaple09 on Nov 8, 2009 2:58 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I guess what I’m getting at is that they won’t tell the guy who backstopped them to the Olympic gold medal in 2006 “Sorry, you’re going to back up a young goalie who’s played less than half a season in the NHL and never in the Olympics before.”

You mean they'll stick with the guy that won it all

like the Canadians did with Brodeur, in losing the medal the last time around?

Not saying they won’t… I’m just arguing that Gustavsson MAY see some action at the Olympics.

He probably won’t be the starter, I’m not that unrealistic. I just think it’s good that he’s likely going to be on the team and see some action. If on the other hand Lundqvist implodes, and Gustavsson is CLEARLY playing better, I don’t know why they would play Lundqvist ahead of him. If anything that invites controversy back home.

No way is Monster going to start the Olympics. Lundquist is a perennial Vezina candidate on a pretty soft Rangers team and hes proved he can play against stars in the long term so barring injury or a sub.800 save %, Lundqvist plays

I don't know about a sub .800 save percentage

If he has a .900 save percentage, and Gustavsson has a .920 save percentage after about 35 games in the NHL season, and Gustavsson is playing better at the time… if I’m Sweden I’d be inclined to go with the hot hand. At the least I’d consider platooning them in the round robin.

Thei Swedish National team coach...

(i.e Bengt Gustaffson, I believe) was interviewed by Watters in the late summer and made it sound like the Monster was a lock for the team and would probably back up Lundqvist. But hey, things could change between now and February.

I’m a bigger fan of Lundqvist getting the start in the Olympics.

Hasek, 2004 anyone?

I have nothing interesting to say.

by blurr1974 on Nov 8, 2009 12:41 PM EST via mobile reply actions   0 recs

Reason I'm in favour of Gustavsson seeing action at the Olympics...

1. It’s a world class experience, and it can’t help but improve his overall confidence level and stature in the game.

2. Hasek was 39 in 2004. Gustavsson is 25. That’s a 14 year difference. Might have a bit of an impact on ability to recover from heavy levels of play.

Either way

as of right now, Gustavsson is obviously the Swedish back up to Lundqvist at the Olympics. If an injury to Lundqvist arises, or Gustavsson continues to play ridiculously well, he might get some starts.

We shall see.

Toskala to Carolina Scenario

So you’ve probably already heard about Cam Ward getting carved up by Rick Nash last night, and the report by GM Rutherford that he’ll be out for a fairly long period of time. They’re looking at options to replace him, one of them being a trade.

What do you guys think can be done to get Burke to unload Toskala to Carolina as a replacement? This is a great chance for us to maybe get a second round pick back for next year (and unload another shitty contract). Your thoughts.

I’d take a third round pick to be rid of his contract.

it would be really tough to convince the hurricanes to give up a second round pick for a goalie like Toskala. If anything, they’ll probably talk to the islanders who are looking to unload a goalie and Biron is more competent than Toskala.

If I'm Carolina

I’d much rather take on Biron’s contract and level of play. He’s far more affordable, and he’s a lot better goalie. I’d be more willing to trade a pick to the Isles than the Leafs at this stage.

Toskala is unlikely to end up in Carolina unless we take a bad contract off their hands in exchange.

I wouldn't call Eric Staal's contract a bad one

although making $8.25 million a year for the next 6 years isn’t a good number if the cap shrinks.

That being said, he’s won a Stanley Cup and led the NHL playoffs in scoring en route. He’s had four 30 goal seasons, two of which were 40 goal seasons. He plays over 20 minutes a game. Both seasons he’s been to the playoffs, his team has made at least the Conference Finals, so he knows how to win in the post season.

Oh yeah and he’s a ppg player in the playoffs… that’s pretty rare.

I’d say their bad contracts are the following:

Rod Brind’amour signed for another year past this one at $3.6 million per. Sergei Samsonov signed for another year after this one at $2.533 million per.

Oh and they bought out Frantisek Kaberle, David Tanabe, and Jeff Hamilton which isn’t helping them at the moment, but they can’t deal those guys.

They have an old team, Brandon Sutter is the only guy on their NHL roster slated to be an RFA when his contract expires. Everyone else is eventually going to be an UFA.

Brind'Amour

has 6 points and is a -12 after 16 games this year. I think he’s finally slowing down at the age of 39.

Shocking I know. I wonder if they regret dealing Justin Williams to get back Erik Cole… I would if I was them.

Cole has a broken leg though so I guess his 1 goal and -4 rating in his first 6 games isn’t entirely fair to judge him on.

Which is why he should be placed on waivers

So a transfer deal can be worked out with a European club that will take on part of his $4 million a year salary.

He needs to be demoted and MacDonald needs to be called up. Unless he’s picked up on recall waivers I don’t see how Toskala plays anywhere else in the NHL this season other than Toronto.

Of course, he’s played the role of solid back up in the past, and he does play well for short spurts at times. Who knows how it’ll work for him this season.
