Nabokov or Toskala?

[MAS]

With the playoffs coming up and the Sharks already cemented in the playoffs, who starts in net come playoff time, Nabokov or Toskala?

Nabokov has had a great year this year, I think he won the starting job if I'm not mistaken. However, when talking about all the good goalies to come out of the San Jose system, being Nabokov, Toskala, Kiprusoff, and Schaefer, their management selected Toskala to be the best out of them all.

So who do you think it'll be?

I would stay with Nabokov. He's hot right now, winning 8 of his last 10 starts. And those two loses were in overtime. He had 3 shutouts in the month of March and had a 1.24 GAA for games he started.

But, if he falls apart in game 1 I feel 100% comfortable with Toskala in there for game 2 if thats what they decide to do. I guess these last 3 games can be a good heat check.

I think on a level playing field, both playing average to their skills, Nabokov.

But if Toskala gets hot, regardless of how good Nabby's playing, I'd take Vesa. When he's on, he looks unbeatable.

i would stay with nabby since hes hot right now and since they won tonight.
