Pierre LeBrun reported on ESPN that Jonas ‘The Monster’ Gustavsson will be starting for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight versus the Ottawa Senators. It’s simply amazing the amount of play this Toskala-Gustavsson situation has received.
The 24-year-old Swede will indeed start Tuesday night against the rival Ottawa Senators, but it was easy to see that Leafs coach Ron Wilson was irked by the way this became such a hot topic just two games into the regular season.
“I feel bad for Vesa that he’s being put in this position when he hasn’t done anything wrong,” Wilson told the assembled media corps after Tuesday’s pregame skate. “He’s a good goalie, and he’s going to work hard in practice. He might start the next game, he might not. I can’t tell you.
Can any good come out this situation?
