Question Period – Leafs Edition

*Inspired by Eric Engels’ question blogs over at HockeyBuzz*

As you all prepare for the Toronto Maple Leafs’ division tilt against the Ottawa Senators tonight, allow me to throw some questions your way.

1) With Vesa Toskala getting the nod against the Senators tonight, do you think the Finnish goaltender will finally get back on track?

2) Are you concerned with Jonas Gustavsson’s performance last Saturday? Is he still in possession of the starting goaltender role in your opinion?

3) Were you impressed by Carl Gunnarson’s first National Hockey League game? What type of future do you see the Swedish rearguard having with the Leafs?

4) Is Luke Schenn’s sluggish play concerning you? Or is this simply a necessary learning curve for the 19-year-old?

5) Is the loss of Mike Komisarek from the Leafs’ blueline noticeable?

6) Is it time for Mikhail Grabovski to center Phil Kessel? Or should Ron Wilson continue to separate the scoring forwards?

7) Should the Leafs include Tyler Bozak, Christian Hanson and/or Viktor Stalberg to the lineup? Who should be sent to the press box?

8) There’s been a lot of fingers pointed towards Brian Burke to bolster the Leafs. How do you propose he upgrades the team? What aspects specifically?

9) Who will lead the Leafs in scoring this year? Kaberle, Kessel or the Messiah known as Matt Stajan?

10) Will the Leafs get out their current slump? Are the playoffs even a fathomable possibility?

Bonus Question

11)  Of all the Leafs jerseys you’ve purchased in your lifetime, which one are you most ashamed of? (I’ll go first: Toskala)
