Pension Plan Puppets, a Toronto Maple Leafs community

"Jonas Gustavsson, the club's much-publicized new Swedish goaltender, became dizzy while on a stationary bike doing a V02 Max test at the MasterCard Centre in Etobicoke. The 24-year-old was taken by ambulance to an area hospital for a precautionary checkup."

Talks have ceased at the moment due to the unfortunate passing of Gustavsson's mother. I am sure everyone is with me when I say my deepest condolences to Jonas and his family. The story indicates that he will be traveling to Denver soonish to meet with Colorado's management.

From Steve @ Hockeyanalysis: "How often do you see a goalie give up five goals and still be their best player? He was fantastic. We might have hand nine or ten goals tonight otherwise," - Ron Wilson, Coach of team USA, and the Toronto Maple Leafs Good to see Gustavsson back on the ice after missing the start of the worlds due to family concerns. Let's hope things are going well for his mother, but more selfishly let's hope Gustavsson is ready to sign in Toronto.

This quote is encouraging: "It is one of Jonas Gustavsson's most prized possessions, a Borje Salming blue-and-white jersey that he has owned for 'about 15 years'." This quote is not: "Leafs goalie coach Corey Hirsch has been in contact with Farjestad officials concerning Gustavsson." DON'T YOU EVEN LOOK AT HIS FACE HIRSCH. DO YOU HEAR ME?

from Aftonbladet, via Alec at MLHS: "In 42 games this season for Farjestad, Gustavsson’s posted an impressive stat line that includes a 1.66 goals-against-average and a .932 save percentage." Hopefully Toronto won't lose a fourth rounder signing this Swedish Jonas.
