No Start For Toskala

Well, today our star goalie Vesa Toskala was not granted a start in their game against the New Jersey Devils. Toronto's backup goalie Andrew Raycroft start the game against the Devil's, and stayed in it until the end.

A few fans were outraged that Toskala did not play this game, but what do you expect? The reason is unknown as to why Toskala did not play today.

The first period of the game was scoreless, both teams ending the period with a 0-0 tie. The second period of the game was looking to be the same, but near the end with 2:32 remaining, the Devil's Zajac scored the first goal of the night, putting the Devil's in the lead.

Then, with 0:13 left in the second, a shot deflected off of Ian White's skate flew into the net, increasing the lead that the Devil's had on the Leaf's. Then in the third, Madden decided to increase the Devil's lead even more, and at 3:54 into the period, scored on Andrew Raycroft.

But then at only a minute later, Tucker ended Brodeur's shutout with a goal. Then later on in the third at 8:29 Kubina scored for Toronto's second goal of the night. But sadly, Toronto wasn't able to get any more rubber past Brodeur, and the Maple Leaf's suffered a 3-2 loss to New Jersey.

The Maple Leaf's face the Washington Capitals next on Wednesday, January 23rd, at 8:30 PM ET at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. You can listen to Wednesday's game on XM Satellite Radio on station 207.
