He got hung with the L, but he was very solid in net...Toskala owners should be worried (as if they aren't already).
How many owners are rolling the dice and starting Gustavsson in the Battle for Ontario tonight? I was hesitant until I looked at their match-ups last season...now I'm a less hesitant, but I still have some butterflies.

The Toronto defense has been shaky to say the least...wonder if they'll get it together and play better team defense because the "backup" is in as many teams do...

I agree. He looks like a number one goalie with his poise. Very good game. Needs some offensive help.
I own both Toskala & Gustavsson, I benched them against washington and played Gustavsson tonight. The first goal was a high stick and the 2nd goal was on a penalty shot that shouldnt have been called.

Gustavsson was very good in that game although he didn't see a ton of action.
He was very, very poised and confident and composed. That's the sign of a prospect heading in the right direction.
Although I have to admit I got caught up in the hype surrounding him just a little bit, the fact still remains he's going to be very good if he keeps showing that type of confidence and composure. It will probably just take him a little longer to develop than I originally thought. Part of that comes from the style that Allaire teaches, however.
