Why is this guy calledd "the monster?" The only thing monsterous about him is the size of his equipment and he still can't stop the friggin' puck! The league really needs to reduce size limits onpads to weed out all of these sub-average goalies.
@TSM8088 Cause when he played in Sweden, he broke alot of records in a season as a goalceeper, and made many increadible saves. And the newspapers started to call him Monstret (The Monster), and since then he has been called that, and it followed him even to America and NHL. And what I understand, he has been successful over there.
Jag säger bara Jonas Gustavsson 50# Monstret det sägs att han kanske kommer tillbaka till Färjestad och då blir det SM-GULD till FÄRJESTAD !!!!! MONSTRET KOM TILLBAKA VI BEHÖVER DIG JONAS GUSTAVSSON (MONSTRET) ÄLSKAR MITT LAG FÄRJESTAD FÖR ALLTID :D
Hade hellre sett att Monstret stannat i NHL å krigat till sig första platsen mellan stolparna å sedan utvecklats till att bli Sveriges bästa målis, tyvärr har nog Lundqvist den nu. Men Gustavsson kommer att ta över den platsen
because gustavvson is amazing in the SEL, he can come to the NHL. those are amazing saves. but i don't think he will make those saves in the NHL. the NHL is much better, the forwards would not miss those chances. im not saying he's a bad goalie...
True, SEL isn't as good, but he did saves like these in the World Championship against good NHL players and I heard he was great in his debut in Maple leafs. It's going to be tough for him but I think he'll make it as a starting goalie over there ;)
"JasonBlake75" Nope. Färjestad were the best defensive team in the SEL. I can make a video with all the sequences where the defensive players act goalies if you like ;)
wow no our defence still needs alot of improvement,just cuz we got komisarek, that doesnt mean all of a sudden our defence is good,one guy doesnt make a terrible D good
ok i forgot schenn hes still learning though hes a rookie(well 1 yr pro next yr),exelby r u fuckin kiddin me,hes fucking shit,kabby and komi,thats it man,beachemin is alright,like wow u think exelby ,komi and beachemin improve one of the worst d's in the league,pllllease,save your breath
buddy your fucking retarded the nly team with better defence than us is calgary. And Exelby is an amazing physical defenceman. And Beauchemin is good. And yes i do think it improves our amazing defence. And one question. Who has better defence than toronto except calgary?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Did you just call those players good, LOL, shows how good bad players are on the laffs. Good luck winning the cup with that amazing team, i mean, Komi can bring the cup to the laffs on his own...
Wideman has had three good years now.... Hunwick had 27 points in 54 games last year... Mark Stuart is one of the toughest, best defenseman in the league...Chara won the NORRIS TROPHY DUMBASS, the award given to the BEST DEFENSEMAN IN THE NHL... Defense takes you nowhere? Yeah, ever heard of the phrase Defense wins championships? Probably not, you're a Leafs fan after all, you hardly know what the word championship means. Also you dont even have the best young goalie in the division! LEAFS SUCK
LOL you are more stupid than I thought originially.. Wideman having 3 good years? Being a top 2 offensive defenseman on boston averaging 22, 36, and one 50 point season are 3 GOOD years?. get a clue you stupid fuck, 22 and 36 points arent good years you stupid fuck. You know why Hunwick had 27 points ONLY last year? Because for 20 games into the middle of the season he racked a whole 1 point and was a -5 +/-... LOL laughable..
Ever heard of beachemin? He has a cup ring and is just as tough as Stuart.. and he played top line PP minutes.. Stuart is nothing.. AND LEARN TO READ. i said DEFENCE took your stupid bruins team nowhere due to your rookies blossoming.. I know more about your pathetic team than YOU do. and also you stupid fuck.. Chara got the Norris because he was the best defencemen in the year, VERY ARGUABLE because lidstrom is always greater than chara (even in fantasy pools). Get a fucking clue sally
1. Chara was the best defenseman last year but wasn't the best... yeah thats makes sense.
2. Our defense was not good because our rookies did well... yeah that's a very well developed statement.
Its funny because the Bruins and Maple Leafs are answering our argument right before us... The Maple LAUGHS have had the worst defense in the league, nice prediction of the BEST defense in the league.. HAAA HAAA
ur an idiot...whens the last time the bruins won the cup??? 1970??? ya u probblly wernt even born so stfu leafs are better than the bruins, but i do agree chara is good but kaberle is better he has 11 pts and chara has 5
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, YOU are the idiot.
Why would a Leafs fan ever insult someone else about not winning a Cup? You haven't won in 50 years! Your last cup was in the 60s! Haa haa!! And points does not determine what a defenseman is, Chara is the best defenseman in the league.
exelby is good defensively and he can hit, beauchemin is great (you've probably never seen him play, not many "alright" defenseman get invited to olympic camp for team canada) andschenn doesn't need to learn anything but offense
its $900,000 and that was the max he is allowed since he is on an entry level contract. But with bonouses he will make around 2-4 million in his first year and then he will be given a regular long term contract. But yea i can see us (Leafs) knocking on the playoffs door next season. All we need no is one or two top 6 forwards and we will be good.
completely agree i personally was hoping we could have had kessel.. for kaberle but things fell apart... really wondering who we could get for one of the best puck moving defense men in the league
not gettng ahead of myself but if we keep this guy and he turns into a solid starter i smell cup contention in about 5 years. if he's good maybe we should build around him and schenn
I dont disagree that this isn't a Good move..any team would be crazy not to try to work something out like this. I actually really like what Toronto has done with there team so far with all the signings. I'm just sick of Canadian fans thinking there better and deserve to have all the best players because where they live.
Just because your from the almighty hockey " Captial of the world" that hasn't won a cup since 1966 doesn't give you the right to think your entitled to the best players in the world anymore then anyone else. Dont act like your better then anyone else that enjoys the sport of hockey...
uh, why not? if you picked up the best goalie outside the NHL for no draft picks, no players, and less than a million spent, i'm pretty sure you would be telling us just how great your organization is. this is a monster steal and it makes the leafs better. deal with it.
honestly i could care less where he went....i hate both teams im just saying hockey is life in Canada... your suppose to have the best players in the world and none of them on your team play important roles... your best forward is American, your goalies are Russian and Swiss now.... i wont argue you with about modano... hes one of the best american players but hasnt been an impact player like Sundin has in the past....
the Dallas hockey market has had way more to cheer for then Toronto... cup in 99... Dallas has made the playoffs 5 out of 6 years ... Toronto 2 out of 6... you would think that such a proud city and country wouldn't have a European captain for so long...
IDK this guy seems too "floppy" to me he has no push from his legs when he's down in the butterfly so he ends up diving everywhere....eh nobody cares if he sucks he's only going to toronto
most of these saves show him covering for poor defensive play...the Swedish D have not been good for a long time...those save where he dives across are fantastic, espcially when you consider that the Dman should have the trailing shooter...
watching Jonas in the worlds was great...he'll be a good goalie in the NHL
i agree i was thinking the same thing! he looks extremely average with these lucky saves. oh well im glad he's on the leafs, just another weakness to expose! Go Bruins!
You're judging him over youtube videos? Wow... Trust me, I'd take the opinions of pro scouts over your half ass assessment of gustavssons talent level. There is a reason why a lot of teams were after this guy. You don't know squat so don't act like you do.
If JG takes into consideration, what an opportunity being the Toronto starting goaltender would be, with the type of management behind the Leafs at present, and what it could be like to win a championship in Toronto...
Finishing the legacy started by Borje Salming(And Inge Hammerstrom) would be amazing.
Looks like an NHL superstar in the making. His positional play isn't great, but he's quick and agile and has size. My guess is SJ signs him and trades Nabokov.
Please god, send him to our loving hands and answer the prayers of a city not only deprived of a cup for nearly half a decade, but of simple confidence and well being. We need this. You will be a god here and have an opportunity to join a long and proud line of Swedish players before you. Make the right choice. Make the ONLY choice. FUCK DALLAS, praise be the Toronto Maple Leafs, endow us with your greatness.
I hope Burke dont fuck it up, his track record suggests he builds winnners.
And hempnut, I dont see how you associate him being smart and making the move to Dallas. True you have a strong fan base, and yes you've groomed some goalies. But so the fuck what? It's Dallas! The kid needs a city that will adore him and a franchise that will make him a legend. If Toronto ever gets an NFL team, feel free to tell me what time it is. Till then, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
You make me laugh maxwell. since when have canadians put aside the 'what have you done for me lately' attitude and adored their players? I'll be thinking of you when The Monster chooses Dallas. Burke flew over to Sweden and came up empty I hear.....doesnt look good for leaf fans :)
Since when has a Canadian listened to a cowboy about the sport we're raised on? And while it suits you to generalize all of us as what have you done for me lately'ists, it'd be unfair of me to call you an overweight undereducated on the topic cheese ass wouldn't it? I'll be thinking of you next time a take a shit. And FYI, it was Canadians that built your hockey program so take your foot out your mouth. We'll have to see what happens with him.... you overweight undereducated cheese ass
Well its either Leafs or Dallas, and he will def get more playing time in Toronto if thats what he wants + burke will give him mad money. Basically Turco is solid, Toskala is not.

The SEL is way better than many know.
Just a coupes of days ago Färjestads BK played pretty good against the Red Wings.
It could maybe been a draw with some luck for the swedes.
But Färjestad did'nt use their hole team, they played many youth players.
The goalie that Färjestad used against Detroit is born 1992!!
And playing currently in the Swedish third division in Skåre( a sort of AHL team of Färjestad)

Sorry a terrible mistake..the season that started in 1966 and ended in 67. If I'm smart enough and can figure out the math that's 40+ years ago.

I dont disagree that this isn't a Good move..any team would be crazy not to try to work something out like this. I actually really like what Toronto has done with there team so far with all the signings. I'm just sick of Canadian fans thinking there better and deserve to have all the best players because where they live.
jafu12 2 years ago
Just because your from the almighty hockey " Captial of the world" that hasn't won a cup since 1966 doesn't give you the right to think your entitled to the best players in the world anymore then anyone else. Dont act like your better then anyone else that enjoys the sport of hockey...
jafu12 2 years ago
uh, why not? if you picked up the best goalie outside the NHL for no draft picks, no players, and less than a million spent, i'm pretty sure you would be telling us just how great your organization is. this is a monster steal and it makes the leafs better. deal with it.

You know except when we won it in 67. Don't act like you know everything and make stupid mistakes like that.

honestly i could care less where he went....i hate both teams im just saying hockey is life in Canada... your suppose to have the best players in the world and none of them on your team play important roles... your best forward is American, your goalies are Russian and Swiss now.... i wont argue you with about modano... hes one of the best american players but hasnt been an impact player like Sundin has in the past....

the Dallas hockey market has had way more to cheer for then Toronto... cup in 99... Dallas has made the playoffs 5 out of 6 years ... Toronto 2 out of 6... you would think that such a proud city and country wouldn't have a European captain for so long...
jafu12 2 years ago
Whats wrong with a European captin don't hate cause we got the 'European' goalie that you wanted soo bad
and so what Sundin was way better than Madano was

IDK this guy seems too "floppy" to me he has no push from his legs when he's down in the butterfly so he ends up diving everywhere....eh nobody cares if he sucks he's only going to toronto

cloud16343 2 years ago
most of these saves show him covering for poor defensive play...the Swedish D have not been good for a long time...those save where he dives across are fantastic, espcially when you consider that the Dman should have the trailing shooter...
watching Jonas in the worlds was great...he'll be a good goalie in the NHL

i agree i was thinking the same thing! he looks extremely average with these lucky saves. oh well im glad he's on the leafs, just another weakness to expose! Go Bruins!
HockeyJock6476 2 years ago
You're judging him over youtube videos? Wow... Trust me, I'd take the opinions of pro scouts over your half ass assessment of gustavssons talent level. There is a reason why a lot of teams were after this guy. You don't know squat so don't act like you do.

If JG takes into consideration, what an opportunity being the Toronto starting goaltender would be, with the type of management behind the Leafs at present, and what it could be like to win a championship in Toronto...
Finishing the legacy started by Borje Salming(And Inge Hammerstrom) would be amazing.

Looks like an NHL superstar in the making. His positional play isn't great, but he's quick and agile and has size. My guess is SJ signs him and trades Nabokov.

hockeymike40 2 years ago
Haha... I don't agree with the "go teal" part, but it seems like a possibility that he could end up there.
tylerb1085 2 years ago
Please god, send him to our loving hands and answer the prayers of a city not only deprived of a cup for nearly half a decade, but of simple confidence and well being. We need this. You will be a god here and have an opportunity to join a long and proud line of Swedish players before you. Make the right choice. Make the ONLY choice. FUCK DALLAS, praise be the Toronto Maple Leafs, endow us with your greatness.
Amen.
maxwell153 2 years ago
Almost half a century, not decade. I'm a Wings fan, but I'd like to see the Leafs become relevant again, so I wouldn't mind seeing him end up there.
Brian Burke will probably find a way to fuck things up, though.
tylerb1085 2 years ago
this is true, bad typo, it was late.
I hope Burke dont fuck it up, his track record suggests he builds winnners.
And hempnut, I dont see how you associate him being smart and making the move to Dallas. True you have a strong fan base, and yes you've groomed some goalies. But so the fuck what? It's Dallas! The kid needs a city that will adore him and a franchise that will make him a legend. If Toronto ever gets an NFL team, feel free to tell me what time it is. Till then, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

You make me laugh maxwell. since when have canadians put aside the 'what have you done for me lately' attitude and adored their players? I'll be thinking of you when The Monster chooses Dallas. Burke flew over to Sweden and came up empty I hear.....doesnt look good for leaf fans :)
hempnut 2 years ago
Since when has a Canadian listened to a cowboy about the sport we're raised on? And while it suits you to generalize all of us as what have you done for me lately'ists, it'd be unfair of me to call you an overweight undereducated on the topic cheese ass wouldn't it? I'll be thinking of you next time a take a shit. And FYI, it was Canadians that built your hockey program so take your foot out your mouth. We'll have to see what happens with him.... you overweight undereducated cheese ass

Well its either Leafs or Dallas, and he will def get more playing time in Toronto if thats what he wants + burke will give him mad money. Basically Turco is solid, Toskala is not.
paperbonez 2 years ago
ya thas what i hearr he'll have a better chnce at being the starter and compete for it with toskala
pluss dallas is not a fun hockey market in
torontoo he'll have a blast aslong ashe plays good lol
