On a side note. It's getting quiet in here. Pretty unusual since I joined in 2004.

So true. Toskala has played very well, and it's not his fault. His stats don't reflect his play, that's why people have to watch the games for themselves, rather than take a glance at his stats and close the case.
Stats do matter, but there are certain cases like this where stats can't describe enough how a game went.
52 Shots against?! Holy spit!
That's almost a shot against per minute!!!
I don't know which was worse: The results after his great performance last night (6-4 loss), or the results after his great performance against the Hurricanes earlier on in the week (7-1 loss). I mean, he was spectacular and they still got blown out.
On a side note: Congrats to Jason Blake. Glad to see him finally put one in.
