Toronto Maple Leaf Fans Ask: "Is This It?"

With a wicked case of the allergy attacks me thinks, things will be short and brief..  I'll be keeping it short and sweet.  Nothing new has happened in Leafdom since, I can't remember when.  Days and days of nothing.  Are we done?

More questions than answers remain, and thankfully the free agent season has only just begun.  there are still some intriguing options on the table, and the Monster hunt continues.

Also, lot's of (OK, one post, but still...) chatter about Vesa Toskala having a bounce back season.  The picture above shows that given the chance, the Vesa can grow a mean playoff beard....

Vesa

good post – i forgot how bad his injuries were in the midst of that abysmal (sp?) season. i’m sure he’ll rebound this year though!

Jesus didn’t need a brother to be great. Neither does Luke Schenn.

by kessticle on Jul 6, 2009 10:46 AM EDT reply actions  

He might as well stink his way to us getting Hall. Our new look defense can keep shots down to like 10 per game, Toskala can have a .333 SV%, we’ll draft Hall and snag some UFA forwards next year problem solved.

I have faith in the Vesa.

(843): the red head has a bf
(1-843): just because there's a goalie doesn't mean u can't score

I have been saying this all along!

Have faith in the Vesa. He WILL be much better.

The Leafs may not win everygame, but they will beat the shit out of you
