Andrew Raycroft made his home debut in Colorado on Friday and showed the Avalanche fans what we in Toronto and Boston already know: he's awful.
I know it's only pre-season action, but Raycroft looked in mid-season form last night, allowing six goals on only 23 shots to the Chicago Blackhawks. That's a 0.739 save percentage. That is brutal. Raycroft's expectations in Colorado might just be lower than the Liberal Party in Alberta. Yes, he's that bad.
It's incredible that Avalanche management rushed to sign Raycroft on the first day of free agency although for paltry $800,000. In the NHL today, if you aren't a millionaire then you're a nobody.
