Great save by Vesa Toskala SJ vs. PHO January 18, 2007

[WTFWJDoo]

In Mixed economy Canada, Toskala is trapped by nets every day :'(

[ebman3]

toskala made a save?!!!!!!

[aqinthe]

The Sharks play a Gary Glitter song (who is a convicted pedo) after every Sharks goal! WTF?

[s0fa]

he really stepped off his game in Toronto, but I have to say he had the best mask

[LouiEriksson]

Bring him back to SJ!!!

[XxInMySanexX]

Its funny how Kipper and Toskala were in san jose not together but now they end up in calgary together and now tosklas gone. lol

[LocoGroove]

Toskala was awesome in SJ but he ruined his career in Toronto...such a shame really

[WerdnaLlewen1993]

How the mighty have fallen. Toskala should have gone to Nashville and backed up Rinne for this season. That would have been awesome, for Nashville at least.

[RollerCoaster47]

Vesa Toskala. The only Finnish goalie in the NHL who sucks.

[Slippar247]

@RollerCoaster47 lol

[dafinalone]

Feel bad for the guy, his luck just took a turn for the worse once his landed in Toronto.

[awesomemaster1906]

i never thought i'd see the day when "great save" and "toskala" were in the same sentence.

[lfOnly]

Holy crap, Toskala can make a save!?

[toogi88]

@lfOnly he can... you just dont know about things you know...

[lfOnly]

@toogi88 It's called "Sarcasm".

[toogi88]

@lfOnly i want to "believe"

[barkleysound]

vesa is a very good goalie. But in toronto, the shitty defensemen lets like 50 shots go through every game 

[Paulister30]

that was beast but why can't he do that in toronto

[Paulister30]

that was beast but why can't he do that in toronto

[Britex123]

where was this shit in T.O?

[mariomodreanu]

im so sad toskala moved to calgary im his biggest fan

[stei667]

yea, i was a bit shocked at that, and then the ducks traded J.S. Gigere they are both on my top 10...

[forPANDORIA]

did*

[forPANDORIA]

never de make a save like that in toronto

[Chorney8]

BOBBY LU

[tommonkey91]

at least he has one good save, he screwed up so many more

[bilaladvanced]

YO!!! Why can't Toskala make these type of saves in Toronto... :(

[ummmwhat039]

unfortunately Toronto has a habit of making good players go bad

[careyprice14782]

@ummmwhat039 soo true

[guard777]

fail

[99Toskala]

toskala is number 1 he owned

[WPNistherealGOD]

That's why he's considered the top goalie in the NHL currently, right?

Oh no, nevermind. That's Brodeur.

[reindeerbone]

If that's currently Brodeur, why didn't he get the Vezina? Oh no, nevermind. His arm fell off halfway of the season.

[WPNistherealGOD]

Can't help but agree with you there. But I promise he still best, and I never break my promises.

[newjerseykid99]

im a big devils fan but have you seen his save percentage this year. hes not young anymore

[linkint30]

still the best in the world...

[SuperColossal33]

Backstrom has been top 5 in Save% and GAA every year he's been in the NHL, including first in both categories in his rookie season, and did it on a team that doesnt make the playoffs. IMO he is hands down the best in the league atm.

[sabresrock234]

Ryan Miller The best XD

[ixhybridxi]

brodeur could also deliver me presents on dec 25

[xoxoJavierxoxo]

he was number 1

[Phillyfan738]

Toskala is good....but the leafs suck and i gotta say nabby was the best choice for the sharks

[JahManFin]

Did anyone get that the fast movement in high position was the thing that made this save great. Not glove save... Allmost all the glove saves from that distance are lucky  -Ex Goalie-

[Viperdude20]

Shane Doan shot it right in his glove so yes it's a good save if you are two years old.

[33tupoika]

Well thats how all saves are made if you want to be a smartass.

[jordanhockeynut]

that 197 foot goal why the fuck wouldent he get in front of the puck

[leafsrule16]

he did. it bounced and then changed direction completely .. those are harder to stop then a good shot from the slot

[jordanhockeynut]

and besides he diden't do fuck all on that play he just stuck his glove out praid to fucken god he stoped the puck.

Toskala sucks

toronto fans suck

toskala fans suck

toronto sucks

[jamesdallimore]

vesa is a terrible goalie... although he does have his moments

[TheCocaColaDude]

i preferred vesa over nabokov.

[nhl09gamer]

go sharcks

[decofan101]

FAVORITE TEAM EVER! GO TOSKALK!

;)

[minihcky]

love them there my fav team by far i go to a lot of games

[hockey87rules]

yea despite the 197 foot goal hes pretty good

[mgnsco0l]

wow that was a great save

[stephpascal33]

fucking incredible.

[Deatseeker]

Oh My GOD, Best save ever even better save than kiprusoff's

[wasy666666]

yea but every goalie has a few nice saves in there career and this was last year

[FlyingEagle513]

2 years actually. He was a leaf last year too.

[wasy666666]

same shit lol

[VesaToskalaNumber35]

TOSKALA ROCKS!!!

[jew4lif3]

did you forget about the whole 200 foot goal thing already?

[wasy666666]

shut it you jew... like he let in one bad goal and they make a big deal about it it was pretty long ago and nobody gives a fuck, this is a nice ass save, so suck a fucking dick

[lennyjd]

moron.

[sokos1]

Awesome!

[kieranccc]

oooo shit

[JansonNepomuceno]

i feel bad for toskala now that san jose is first place and might win the stanley cup

[shortcircuit329]

don't feel bad..the guy needed to make something out of his career..put yourself in his shoes..you wouldn't want to be a back up forever.. same goes for kiprusoff..i believer the same will happen to Boucher..he's really a good goal tender to be a back up

[azerskater]

toskala wasnt a back up in that year he almost played more than nabby

[shortcircuit329]

buddy i know that but we all knew that when nabby was gonna be healthy that he'll start again..and that's what happen

all i'm saying is this guy deserved to make something out of himself..

[azerskater]

thats true

[DevilJin60]

no he played more the nabokov, it cause san jose wanted to trade him so they let him play more.

[azerskater]

lol

[GreenTeam31]

i really wish toskala would play that good in toronto he would be amazing

[reindeerbone]

and we all wish the leafs wasn't an ahl team playing in the nhl

[DybboB89]

actually we dont because then we have a better chance at Tavares

[Kaksisekuntiaaikaa]

Its not how toskala plays, but the team in front of him???

[foxtrotalex]

you know, vesa hasn't been playing great this year, but i love the way the guy talks in interviews and to the rest of his team. I think hes a good face for Toronto. However being the goalie for toronto is arguably the highest stress job out there. Not only do you have to deal with the crazy ass fans, but the shitty ass defense that lets 50 shots through a game.

[perusbaltero]

U said it, man! Toskala has only been good and in order to get an average team (like Toronto this season)to win, the goalie should be great!

[dangleman1]

soccer is way harder to score in, just getting the ball in the other teams 18 yard box is something

[NHLHockeyrulez]

its because of toskala tht the leafs are good ... if he never went to toronto the leafs would be history by now

[professorfoxtrot]

Tonight Toskala let in 4 goals on 11 shots in the first period.

[NHLHockeyrulez]

well still im just sayin most of these wins r because of him ... even though he lets in 4 goals in the first period he still good and i bet tht he didnt get any help from the blueline

[professorfoxtrot]

11 shots dude....

[reindeerbone]

name a goalie who doesn't do that and i will prove you wrong

[SuperColossal33]

patrick roy once let in 7 goals in a period with the habs....are you saying he sucks?

[professorfoxtrot]

Patrick Roy also had a 20 year GAA under 3, plus he's won more games than any other goalie. Flash over to Toskala and his goals against is over 4.

[SuperColossal33]

so wait a minute? you're saying 1 bad game isnt reason enought to say a goalie sucks???

[professorfoxtrot]

That's right. However, when bad game turns into one bad season and eventually one bad career it's safe to say that a goalie sucks.

[SuperColossal33]

then maybe you should have said that instead of 4 goals on 11 shots.

besides, his stats would beg to differ, especially last year's for a team that never made the playoffs.

[professorfoxtrot]

His stats beg alright. They beg to have a mulligan!

[littlemissjonasO4]

tronto is a young team itll take them time to build there D and plus toskala has dine preetty good considering he came last year and has so much chemistry with the team

[iAznAssassin]

scoring in hockey is just a bit harder than scoring in soccer

[PuuRiZ]

No, it isn't. Why do most of the soccer games end up like 1-0 or 2-0?

[FlyingEagle513]

cause its hard to shoot the ball at their lazy goalies

[reindeerbone]

leaf fans are idiots

when toskala plays well he is the best leaf goalie ever, when he has a bad stretch he should be traded asap.. what a bunch of backstabbers really

leaf fans don't deserve players like toskala, or any other good players for that matter, toskala should never have left the sharks

[GoalieFan95]

great glove save

[mbiron43]

i know your right but the leafs take wayy to many penalties and makes it hard for the defence which makes it hard for toskala

[aznskydreamer]

some soft goal** typo

[aznskydreamer]

no its not all the d's fault.. he letted something pretty soft goals

[mbiron43]

wow!! wat a save...if only toskala had good defence this year the only good defence are kaberle schenn kubina finger and van ryn and if the leafs take less penalties toskala could probably be if not one of the best goalies in the nhl this year and will hopefully get toronto into the playoffs something that raycroft could not do

[jolle91294]

hell yeah!! GO FINLAND GO!

[jaani3]

GO FINLAND GO! :D

[h0ck3yguitar]

how come every goalie that goes to toronto ends up sucking

[liltiger3]

Oh really? How About Cujo, or Belfour? And now Toskala. The only time in the past 8 years the leafs had a bad goalie was when Aubin and Raycroft where our goalies.

[h0ck3yguitar]

k they did have some good goalies but toskala wasnt as good last year as he was before...

[mbiron43]

that is so true and some goalies have good years and some dont but a very good point u made =D

[PopulationOverride]

the toronto defense makes their goalies look a lot worse than they really are. Toskala is a superb goalie.

GO LEAFS GO!

fuck ryan hollweg!

[fowter1]

maybe because your mom fucks everyone of them and they get too distracted to play

[h0ck3yguitar]

what kind of comment is that? you think your good cause you can insult people over a computer?

[fowter1]

i think im good? no. your also insulting over the computer and btw i didnt write that comment it was my brother whos 12 years old i am just the one who made this account

[Geemakun]

sure it was your brother and all the 12 yr olds i know are mature enough, you must be american

[jiggyrules]

without is was nabbys

[pickpoketpat]

Who's save was better? This one or Nabby's during the playoff's in Dallas?

[NHLboy29]

hes one of the fastest catcher in the league

[toskala89]

Thank you Sanjose!

[habsfan93]

I hate him since he's on the leafs but HOLY DAYUM I wish I could flash the leather like that

[liltiger3]

Yeah Toskala has, if not the fastest, one of the fastest gloves in the league.

[enjoisk8ter101]

vesa's save is 100 times better.

[Nazzylund]

O really wat about Rob davisons goal 197 feet from his goalie line

[liltiger3]

That goal was a fluke. You try making a bouncing puck save on a crappy ice surface.

[kewlnsimpguy]

easy jut learn the bounce fuck tard

[liltiger3]

No its not. Its bouncing straight, straight, straight, then last second bounces right. Nobody would've expected that. Fag.

[kewlnsimpguy]

ur retarted ur supposed to challenge the shot u know nothing about hockey

[liltiger3]

Okay, so he didn't come out and challenge the puck. It still wasn't expected that it would suddenly bounce right. He clearly had the mind set that it was gonna bounce straight. So when it went right, he didn't have enough time to adjust. So it's still a fluke.

[v3n0m1994]

snagged...

[youbanditzz]

Madd save ...

what is better this save or Nabbys one this year in the playoffs =) ?

[jordanhockeynut]

toskala sucks the testies

[mapleleaf94]

fck you noob!

[hockifanatic22]

Yeah i'm sure you don't enven know whats a offside so shut up

TOSKALA ROCKS

[hockifanatic22]

shut up you are gay

[jordanhockeynut]

oh what just because he made 1 nice save you guy's are likeing him for it. When was the last time toronto got a playoff spot. and yeah i do know what a offside is so shut our fucking mouth you cunt face

[SuperColossal33]

yeah lets blame all the Leafs troubles on Toskala...even though Cujo, Pogey, Gerber, Raycroft, Aubin, Clemmensen and Aubin have done no better for the Leafs in the past 4 years.

Toskala had a winning record this year, the 1.5 months before he ended his season, he had 0 losses in regulation.

I love the Leafs, and Toskala is deserving of their starting position, unless one of the 15 or so better goalies than him comes up for trade...but Leafs fans are generally the stupidest among them all.

[omied21]

mopar

[Hockeyrules97]

Toskala does good on the leafs who keeps them in it? thought so

[goaliemc]

nice save

[Hockey4LyfeBallin]

yeeeee!!!

I Love Toskala!

[motox112]

I feel bad for Toskala. He was a great goalie in San Jose and ever since he went to the shity Maple Leafs he hasn't done so well.

[JimB667]

Dumbass, the maple leafs as a team are shitty, but individually Toskala had a sick year in Toronto. Clearly didn't watch him play.

[plsjesus]

toskala doesnt just havr a great glove hand he also has a great blockey side and he play very agressive just like kipersoft and he is great at intimadating the shooter wich is exactly wut he did

[wuman30]

describes toskala just the way he's style of play is.

[starryarchress]

Vesa Toskala and the maples leafs are gay.if you dont agree i say to you:how about making the playoffHAHAHAHA.

PS maple leafs are cronic mastrubaters

[plsjesus]

what ppl often overlook is that the goalies abilaty to intimadate the shooter is also a big part and he did wait too long to shoot but the way he got across the crease is amazing u have to look at this video over and over again to see how good it was cuz a goalie isnt just stoping the puck its tons of other things

[jjoshuaa99]

it kinda went in his glove

[rico1096]

Who cares you aint makin the playoffs for years to come n-e ways.

[JoeTheGoalie43]

lets go sharks

[ersbec88]

that was a good save,but doan waited too long to shoot.

[deathlysick16]

Ive Seen betta and done betta

[theroundman9]

I dowt u havz dunn betta mush.

[tXxAleXxXt]

doan got totaly owned and a great save thanks for posting this GO LEAFS GO!

[Leafs4ever1324]

Best glove hand in the nhl

[bonlime]

only one of the best gloves

[flyerserved48]

that wasn't a nice save, Doan waited too long to shoot and it was easy to read... he pretty much shot it in his glove.

[PkdBySc1m1]

Toskala Sucks not even top 15 in goalies lmfao

[RuNoVo]

lolled. youre some fuckin noob who stares the stats, not the goalies. shut up

[HeyImAPrick]

Why can't he play like this now that he's on Toronto D:
