Toronto Maple Leafs: Backup Goaltender Just As Important

If the NHL playoffs are teaching the Toronto Maple Leafs anything it’s that they don’t just need a starting goaltender – they also need a very good backup cage guardian.

That’s incredible.

Now, Vasilevsky came in solely because of injury, but the other three three backups came in because the starter laid an egg.

The Toronto Maple Leafs need a starter, first and foremost, but they also need to consider who is going to be in the net should the top guy get hurt, or just play poorly during key moments.

Right now, the Toronto Maple Leafs have two goalies that nobody wants to see starting when it comes time to actually win games.
