I was at this game right behind Toskala in section 226, remember thinking theres no chance that he's going to mess this save up, looked like such a harmless play absolutely hilarious what followed. My friend who is a leafs fan was pretty devastated. Most leafs fans were gone from this game by the middle of the third.
I am a Red Wings fan. Looking back before the start of the 2006-2007 season, after the way Toskala absolutely owned the Red Wings the previous season, I actually wanted them to sign him. I am really glad they chose Dominik Hasek over him.
@Magikmike39 Did you forget the Original Toskala fail? The one against Edmonton where he tried to come out and play the puck after a Shark power play and Samsonov had a two foot tap in? That was a game tying goal in a pivotal playoff game as well.
No wonder San Jose got rid of that joker. Toskala fails will never stop being funny to me. Worst goalie I've ever seen and I've seen plenty of bad ones.
This will never stop being hilarious...and the funniest part is that there was no need whatsoever for him to even touch the puck. If Toskala had just DONE NOTHING, Lydman's shot would've gone wide of the net. Epic goaltending fail!

You proplr are crueal and abusive. Stop torturing this precious goalie FFS!
He is a human beong and has feelings you know? You are all torturing this guys and you dont know what it's like to be a very good goaelie like vesa toksalsa.
theres no need to provide stats or blame the team, yea the teams horrible but some nights a chimp could make the saves toskala lets in... all a team needs is steady tending night in and out not a big saves here 4 bad goals there lol im so happy to see him leave wow! enjoy the AHL cause soon as the ducks see ur skills they be sending you down and bringing up the next replacement ... go leafs go
I grew up loving the leafs, but every leaf fan knows it's more then the goaltending. The team never plays as a fully functioning unit. They are finally starting to rebuild but they are still going to suck for quite a few more years. And look at Belfour. Great goaltender who went to shit where? Toronto. Toskala is a good goalie. Toronto is the problem.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not saying that Tosk couldn't play better, but for those of you who always keep bringing the stats sheets on the table an shit: Only twice has Toskala finished a season with more losses than wins, mind you that neither of those were NHL seasons, so how exactly do you make an argument based on statistics, that holds even some water, saying he sucks, while talking about a winning goalie in the shittiest team in hockey (proven by statistics)? I'm all ears.
mistakes are a part of life. lots of goalies put the puck in their own net. catch it and drop it and put it in. goalies get scored on from half. i still like toskala :)
Toskala is horrible at hockey all he does is stack the pads and he'll make about one out of every five saves also he cannot play in the shootout at all i'm pretty sure hes 3-16 in them or something
i agree with starwarskid911 he was awesome on the sharks when he got to the leafs he got ss much worse but hes still a good goalie just chill hes got help now with gustavvsson
WOW tosks! ive never been a fan of toskala or the torontomapleleafs but that was ebarassing & Lydman dont be proud of ur self for scoring such an ugly goal!!
i have never been a toskala fan, hes getting old and unathletic as we can see from this vid, im on the monster band wagon, toskala is just too inconsistent, and im just being easy on him
and seriously guys get off the toskala ban wagon its either you like or you dont. when he was playing good every one loved him. now that he played one bad game every hates him.
@BurtonYtube do you remember in the 07- 08 season when toskala first got here. it was like i think middle of the season when the leafs where facing the nashville predators. and toskala robbed jason arnott all night long. that was a good game. you have a point though about toskala. hes not very good when it comes to consitensy. (even know you didnt say enything about his lack of consisesy :P)
@HazenB101 I will always remember that game as the "Belak Game." He scored his first goal in forever, annihilated Martin Gelinas with a hit on his next shift, heard the crowd chant "BELAK BELAK", and then sat on the bench for the rest of the game.
i feel sorry for the guy. i mean the goal wasent even a bad goal it was just a fluky bounce of his glove. if that was gustavsson who let that goal in every one would be saying it wasnt his falt. GO LEAFS GO.
That was a fluke but as we all know Gustavson is yet to have such a fluky goal go in AND recently Toskala got a shutout against the fricken bruins so he has good games as well.
Goalie stats may suffer because of a bad team, but at the same time they can also tell when a goaltender is great. Look at Bryzgalov. the Coyotes have the 3rd fewest goals for in the West, but also the fewest goals against primarily because of Bryzgalov. Whether or not Toskala sucks is debatable (he played well on the Sharks), but one thing Pierre said is right: you cannot win in the NHL if you can't catch a puck (from that distance). There's a reason why Errors are important in baseball
its simple as this everyone fucks up sometimes ? just going to say it everyone commenting on this isnt perfect and they dont go through life with no mistakes . end of discussion
Why are some of you numnuts making excuses for this guy? He's a horrible goalie, and just because his team won a few with him in net, doesn't mean HE was the reason they won. He just plain stinks like week-old socks.
It's terrible luck for that to happen. You know what stunk worse than that goal? Listening to that fucking idiot McGuire. "Swede on Swede" violence in a Detroit game? WHAT THE FUCK MAN! WHAT DID THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS GAME!?!?!
LOL I agree with you! I'm a Leafs fan, so I watch a lot of games with McGuire fucking yapping random shit the whole game!
Like last time we hit the post, then he comes outta nowhere and says " This is just like when the Habs hit the post in 1943 and made them lose the game ".............Like.. we don't care!
Things like this happen to most goalies, sometimes even on this level. It doesnt make them the worst goalie in the NHL, even if it happens once a year, two years in a row.
Youre looking at statistics. They dont tell you that much about a goalie really, if the defence and whole team sucks.
Im reading news that the professional analyzers are saying Torontos last wins happened much thanks to Toskala.
So maybe there was a reason why he was starting, instead of Gustavsson. Im guessing, playing matches like he has played this season, many great goalies would suck if you just look at the stats.
not really, there is a reason Brodeur and roy have have such good stats and it's not because they let in goals that are going to miss the net like this one
thaht happenend all goalies sometimes like christophal huet left the worses goal in beginnin at season ! toskala is from finland and in finnis comes most good goalies like kiprusoff,backstrom,niittymäki,rask.....
He is from same city as Im - Tampere, Finland. He sucked then already when he was playing for local club Ilves. He was not considered good goalie even when he played in Finland. I dont understand how he can play in NHL.
Toronto sucks, Toskala sucks but most of all Toronto's defensemen suck. They have definitely the worst defence in the whole league and that's why Toskala is really easy to make look bad a night after night. Maybe he isn't good but so aren't the guys in front of him. Brian Burke, get out of Leafs!
fucking bullshit ... i dont know why the leafs organization continue to put this fucktard in net ... i hope tonight was a wake up call for burke ... fucking sick of this
MUCH worse than the Rob Davison shot....that was a bad bounce. As others said here, all Toskala needs to do was NOTHING!
