Kiprusoff was better statistically, but Toskala played more games by a small margin, so I can't discern exactly what was going on.

Also, When injuries hit SJ and Kiprusoff was given the starting job while Nabokov was out, he did not perform well for his first stint as starter. He had played 20 games as a backup when he was 25, and did well then, but as a starter the next season he went 5-14 with a 3.25 GAA, 0.879 SV%.
We all know what happened when a team gave him a second chance as a starter...
