I promise I'll be brief, but something has been eating at me all day and I need to get it off my chest. Why did Vesa Toskala start his 30th game in a row last night?
Think about it, the Leafs are playing for honour now, having been mathematically eliminated from the playoff race. Toskala has been great, and he helped make things interesting until this last week, but why not give him a rest and let Andrew Raycroft help us slip just a little in the standings. This is prime Raycroft time.
Mats Sundin is another story. He was so hurt, he had to miss vital games for this team. What's the point in risking a groin tear at this point in the season? We should shut him down because there's absolutely nothing to gain by playing him.
I'd better see Raycroft between the pipes Tuesday night or I'm going to start thinking we don't actually have a plan for future success.
