Why The Hell Not Cujo?

Published June 29, 2008 @ 15:54 in Toronto Maple Leafs

leafsIt looks like Andrew Raycroft has played his last game as a Toronto Maple Leaf. So has Scott Clemmensen. That leaves Vesa Toskala as the only goaltender in the organization with NHL experience.

We're all still hoping Justin Pogge will become a bonafide NHL goalie, but it looks like he'll need another year in the AHL playing for the Marlies. That means the Leafs need a backup to Tosky. Tosky will likely play about 60 games, but who will start the other 22?

I'm endorsing Curtis Joseph to fill that role. Why the hell not? He won't break the bank, he'd love to come back and retire a Maple Leaf and he's still got 22 games left in his 41-year old body.

It's already going to be a long and painful season, at least having Cujo back will give us something to get excited about.

Speaking of next season, http://www.torontomike.com/countdown.html is once again online and counting down the seconds. There are only 102 days, 4 hours, 1 minutes, and 22 seconds left until the Maple Leafs opener against Detroit.

Funny. Raycroft only matched Belfour for most all-time Leaf wins in a season - for a squad that missed the playoffs (that year and the one before), and then immediately became a back-up for the following year. Now we want nickname Cujo to come back to our team which he left - for less money then, while he choked with the talent laded Detroit.

CQ, this time, we're not so concerned with W's.

It's clearly a lost season while we wait for Burkey. Let's have a little fun while we're losing.
