Jonas Gustavsson: If He Only Had A Heart

Toronto Maple Leafs 25-year old goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has the heart of a chain-smoker and he’ll miss at least a week of hockey after experiencing his second bout of elevated heart rate versus Montreal on Tuesday.

Gustavsson is scheduled to undergo his second heart procedure of this season in hopes to cauterize the problem.  Joey MacDonald will be handling the bulk of goaltending duties in the meantime.  According to a Toronto cardiologist speaking with the Globe And Mail, a second “ablation” procedure has an even higher success rate than the initial one… well we would certainly hope so.

The doctor would like to remain anonymous, you know… just in case.
