Andrew Raycroft

ANDREW RAYCROFT OF THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS COULD WALK INTO HIS OWN BIRTHDAY PARTY AND STILL HAVE TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF…
NOW ASK YOURSELF…
HOW MANY FANS DO YOU KNOW WITH A CANUCK JERSEY…WIT THE NUMBER 30 ON THE BACK???
CESARE MANIAGO DOES NOT COUNT!!!
NOW ASK YOURSELF…
WHERE WOULD THIS TEAM BE WITHOUT THAT NUMBER 30???
LASTNIGHT RAYCROFT PUT INTO ANOTHER SOLID PERFORMANCE TO LEAD THE CANUCKS TO A 4-1 WIN OVER ANAHEIM…
HIS RECORD THIS SEASON IS 8-4-1…
WITHOUT THE 17 POINTS RAYCROFT HAS EARNED FOR THE CANUCKS THIS SEASON…
THE TEAM WOULD BE TIED WITH ST. LOUIS FOR 11TH PLACE IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE…
HIS GOALS AGAINST AVERAGE OF 2.21 TIES HIM WITH MIKKA KIPRUSOFF FOR THE 4TH BEST IN THE ENTIRE NHL…
HIS SAVE PERCENTAGE OF .917 IS BETTER THAN ROBERTO LUONGO’S…
AND THE 8 WINS HE HAS…TIES HIM WITH J.S. GIGUERE OF THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS…
GIGUERE HAS PLAYED IN 31 GAMES AND MAKES $6 MILLION DOLLARS A SEASON…
RAYCROFT HAS PLAYED IN JUST 19 GAMES AND MAKES A MERE…$500 THOUSAND…
BUT THE TRULY AMAZING PART OF RAYCROFT…IS HIS ABILITY TO KEEP HIS EGO IN CHECK…
AFTER LASTNIGHTS WIN RAYCROFT SPENT MOST OF HIS ACTING AS IF HE WAS “THE PR REP” FOR LUONGO…
CHECK OUT THIS QUOTE…
“LET’S BE SERIOUS…TAKE A DEEP BREATH EVERYBODY…THIS GUY I’VE WATCHED FOR 60 GAMES…IS A SPECIAL GUY”…
IF RAYCROFT DOES HAVE AN EGO…YOU WOULD NEED A MICROSCOPE TO FIND IT…
THE TRUTH IS…LUONGO HAS STRUGGLED SINCE THE OLYMPICS…
HIS GOALS AGAINST AVERGE IS A WHOPPING 3.20…AND HE’S BEEN PULLED TWICE…
DURING THAT TIME…RAYCROFT HAS GONE 2-0-1…AND COLLECTED 5 OF A POSSIBLE 6 POINTS…
NOBODY IS SUGGESTING LUONGO IS IN DANGER OF LOSING HIS JOB…
EVERYONE FROM THE OWNER…TO THE BEER VENDORS…KNOW THE CANUCKS ARE ONLY GOING TO GO AS LUONGO TAKES THEM…
BUT…IF THIS TEAM IS STILL PLAYING COME MAY 4TH…
THEN IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO BUY ANDREW RAYCROFT…A CAKE…
