[Gustavsson Gaining Confidence as Leafs Continue Roll - Chris Johnson at the Globe and Mail](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/gustavsson-gaining-confidence-as-leafs-continue-roll/article2253886/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Hockey&utm%5Fcontent=2253886)

> [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/jonas-gustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has seemingly had an answer for everything opponents have thrown at him over the past week or two. There was no better way for the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) goalie to deliver a message to his critics.
> 
> Written off by many earlier in the season, the man known as "The Monster" will take a personal four-game win streak into Wednesday's game against the [Boston Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/boston-bruins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
> 
> Gustavsson has managed to remain remarkably even-keeled through a turbulent first couple seasons in the NHL by avoiding most of what is said or written about him. But he knows there are those who doubt him.
> 
> "It's a big hockey market and there's always things going around," he said Tuesday after practice. "I mean if there's no story, there has to be a story. I guess the goalie's always in the spotlight too.
> 
> "Either you're the hero or the guy that everyone's blaming."

Trivia Wednesday - [Gustavsson only has 1 win with the players in front of him scoring less than 4 goals;](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlBZxpXinYkCdDdVN0xtdkpZTHpRYWdQNlFqbUtZaEE&hl=en%5FUS&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#gid=0) Friday's 4-3 (but really 3 goal) SO win against Dallas. With his season sv% of .901 and the Leafs giving up an average of 31 shots against a game, playing the averages, the Leafs can only win when they score over 3 goals. So uh yeah, continue to do that and Jonas Gustavsson will be "just fine".
