If scoring was at the same level as the mid-1970s, I wonder if the Leafs would be challenging the NHL record for the most goals given up in a single season. There is no question that they have the worst goaltending in the league. It's pretty pathetic when the Senator castoff, Martin Gerber is the best performing goalie on the Leaf's roster.
One thing is a given, we won't be seeing a tandem of Justin Pogge-Curtis Joseph next season. Both goalies have been awful. Last week's first star recognition given Joseph was overly generous for a 6-minute performance.
The Leafs expect Toskala to be healthy for the start of next season and have him under contract for one more year. And finding a cheap backup is not that difficult as long as you don't limit yourself to ex-Leafs looking to ease themselves into retirement. But goaltending beyond 2010 looks to be a huge question mark. That needs to be settled because goaltending is the basis for rebuilding a team. Which means Brian Burke will either be drafting another junior goalie or working a trade for a goalie prospect.
