Justin Pogge Starts for the Toronto Maple Leafs Tonight!
January 27, 2009
Justin Pogge will get a second kick at the can when the Toronto Maple Leafs return to action tonight.
Pogge will get the start versus Minnesota. Head Coach Ron Wilson felt it was time to give Pogge another shot in goal because the layoff over the All-Star break kept regulars Toskala and Joseph from skating for four days.
Wilson said that Pogge will return to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League following Tuesday’s game, regardless of his performance…to the dismay of Maple Leaf fans everywhere.
Four years after Toronto drafted him 90th overall, Pogge finally got his first shot in the bigs in December when he got the call to replace an injured Toskala. Pogge won his debut, a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers.

2008 was an uncharacteristic year by Matt Kenseth standards. Yes, he quietly put together a solid season, as usual, but the No. 17 team failed to find victory lane and was never really a threat for the championship.
