I’m pretty bummed about this news but Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender, Jonas Gustavsson, is on the injured reserve list after suffering from a bit of a groin pull. It doesn’t sound too serious but you never know with these things.

The rookie will probably be on the bench for at least a week. “I was examined yesterday, and they think I pulled it a little bit,” Gustavsson said. “So I’ll take it easy for a few days.”
Anyone who was looking forward to seeing Vesa Toskala fight to retain his #1 spot with “The Monster” on his ass is going to have to wait. “Vesa is our number one goalie anyway and he’ll play until further notice,” coach Ron Wilson said. “This is an opportunity for him to take charge now without looking over his shoulder.”
You said it, Wilson. Something tells me that Toskala isn’t sending Gustavsson any get well vibes…
