Well that sucks. It would have been fun to have the Leafs knock out the Sabres in Round One, and then read all of the excuses. Ah well.

I'd like to nominate Andrew Raycroft for the Alexei Yashin Least Valuable Player Award, given annually to the player who does everything in his power to keep his team out of the playoffs. Of the 42 goalies with at least 27 games played, Raycroft finished an impressive 35th in save percentage. Andrew, I recommend you spend some time with Kiprusoff over the summer and learn the art of not giving up fat juicy rebounds on every shot.

I thought you said Raycroft was decent because he was putting up wins. If you're talking about Save % and GAA, your favourite goalie, Gerber, beats Raycroft in both categories by a fairly wide margin. Is Raycroft still head and shoulders above Gerber?

Things YOU said early in the season: Luongo has been a huge disappointment.

Things I said early in the season: In a battle between who has been a bigger bust, Gerber vs Raycroft - Gerber easy.

So careful about which house you pick to throw stones at, buddy.

Raycroft is on the books for two more years at $2 mil per. Gerber is on the books for two more years at $3.7 mil per. Considering he eats up more cap space and sits on the bench, Gerber will continue to be the bigger disappointment.
