The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Swedish goaltender Jonas Gustavsson. Gustavsson is a 6-foot-3, 192 pound goaltender that is well a "monster" in goal. He signed a one year contract that is believed to be worth $810,000 with a signing bonus worth $90,000. Gustavsson is most likely going to be the back up for alreay Maple Leaf Vesa Toskala. Toskala is a 5-foot-10, 195 pound goaltender who has been with the Maple Leafs since 2007. The big thing now is which one do you start, the smaller goaltender that you know that can produce or the "monster" who is big and makes great saves? Maple Leafs general manager, Brian Burke says that two goaltenders audition every night. Though if I were the coach of Toronto right now I would be leaning toward Gustavsson because he is believed to be the best goaltender not in North America. Also, he broke Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers playoff record of perfect goaltending with finishing the playoffs with 5 shutouts. So what can I say, the stats speak for themselves this kid is good, and his size is well like his nickname monsterish, I can't wait to see this kid play!
TODAY JOE SAKIC DID RETIRE LIKE EXPECTED! THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT SEASONS
