It's utterly amazing how many people can't see the obvious. Then again, there are many who still believe the war in Iraq was a good idea.

Exactly. I sincerely hope he plays better than that, and Maurice uses him mostly against teams with weaker forwards so Raycroft isn't completely useless.

Well, in any case, it just proved again that Raycroft isn't an NHL starter… If anyone was still confused about that, that is.

I could not disagree more.

First of all, Winfield in '92 asked for "more noise", not to stop the booing.

Secondly, a highly paid professional athlete has to play well to be cheered, not the other way around.

Look, the fans are NOT idiots. The Maple Leaf fans in particular are arguably the most knowledgeable fans anywhere. If the crowd doesn't chant "Razor, Razor", there's a good reason - he's no bloody good.

Furthermore, did you see yesterday's online poll on thestar.com conducted BEFORE the game? The vast majority of respondents said that improved goaltending will be the key this year. These people represent the silent majority. In a democracy, the silent majority rule!!!

Again, if you missed it, Damian Cox does NOT agree with your assessment of Toronto's goaltending. He clearly indicates that it is a major problem. Thoughts?

Rumor

I heard a rumor that Raycroft was depressed last night and jumped in front of a truck on Highway 401. Fortunately, it went through his legs and he's all right now.

Ok, 92_93, I recall you mentioned that you consider Damian Cox's opinion highly (remember when I sent you the ESPN articles on Raycroft?).

Well, well, well, looks like Cox does NOT agree with you're assessment of Raycroft's goaltending (see link). Not that I need to hear it from Damian Cox, I've been saying this for 6 months. Thoughts?
