have you ever seen something so funny that you think it broke you and you can no longer laugh at anything ever again?
this is it
Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option
Minus the Smyth trade, it’s a good week to be an Avs fan.
> Tyler Arnason to the Rangers, guaranteeing a 300% increase in hits by whoever takes his place.
> Andrew Raycroft to Vancouver, guaranteeing that every Colorado-Vancouver game is a Colorado win next year. Hello bar bets by me.

Huge Week
Two of their worst players get SIGNED elsewhere? Hilarious.

And Kyle Quincey was at his cottage and missed the phone call about being traded until 24 hours later. Good times. Can we get rid of Darcy Tucker now? I know Colorado’s trying to tank, but you can at least do it with a semblance of dignity on your roster.
Wellwood + arbitration can only lead to good. I hope The Kyle Wellwood Experience doesn’t leave town. After a few beers and your barmates get sad about their Canucks, a Wellwood joke helps. He’s like Penner, but actually produces.

Smyth to LA is a bit of a wash, I guess.. Funny how that was almost Heatley going to LA, but then his true douche colours shone through in the Edmonton debacle.

Hextall wasn’t a big fan of Heatley before the Edmonton debacle, and is even less of one now. Seeing what they gave up for Smyth, I doubt at all that Los Angeles wanted to move any real solid prospects, all apologies aside to Quincey. Heatley’s known in this household as His Doucheness, but there’s certainly bias here.

OH MY GOD
He’ll play maybe 2-3 games, tops though. Luongo is a friggin’ horse as long as he stays healthy.
well in all fairness, Raycroft opens a mean door

oh man
it’ll be so awesome when Luongo pops his groin this year and they have to use Raycroft as their starting goalie….. ahhhhhhh
So much excitement about this!

oh damn they’ll have to put up fencing on all the bridges to keep people from leaping off with raycroft as a starter from november onward.
this is awesome news! I must stop working and call my few remaining friends in Vancouver.

please tell me Avs still have a goalie to play as #1 next season?
miss u, CR baby...u want 2 get back 2gether?
Well considering they didnt have a #1 this season…
The Leafs may not win everygame, but they will beat the shit out of you
Truculence FTW
well, someone who at least in some level looks like nhl goalie…
miss u, CR baby...u want 2 get back 2gether?
Avs signed UFA Craig Anderson out of Florida. He put up great numbers last year.
Considering Raycroft’s extensive experience seeing the net filled with goals, maybe Mike Gillis is going to try Raycroft on a line with the Sedins.

seriously, you have no idea how many times I’ve heard the “Suckroft!!!” taunt from my hubby (despite my eager agreement of his assesment, he continued to use it to mock the Leafs)

As long as this doesn’t mean Colorado thinks they have the edge on Gustavsson.
by Blue and White Expat on Jul 6, 2009 2:53 PM EDT reply actions
I think
Colorado’s out, since they signed Anderson.

Colorado is considered out of the running for Gustavsson as as they already have Budaj and Anderson signed for next year. It’s down to the Stars and the Leafs

So might this be them getting ready to trade schneider? Kaberle for schneider? Dare to dream..
More likely a temporary backup who won’t get much work behind Luongo, and once schneider is ready for more starts will be cast aside like a smelly gym sock with a crap glove hand.
He can hang out with Wellwood and Sundin too.

For Grabner.

Stajan + Kabby for Grabner and Edler!

heh
I wonder if it’s a two way contract. That way if Schneider earns the back up role to start, before being traded out, Raycroft can go down to the AHL.
Oh who am I kidding, noone would pick him up on waivers.

As terrible as Raycroft has been the past two years there is no way he’s signing a two-way deal.

A canucks co-worker said he heard on the radio the contract was 500k for one year. Man, Raycroft all but needs the sign “WILL OPEN BENCH DOOR FOR FOOD”
I figured it’d be close to league minimum.
We are still paying him, after all.

It’s the funniest thing that’s happened in a long while.
by general borschevsky on Jul 6, 2009 6:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Hah!
This brought good humor to a sick bed ridden day! So he’s gonna make like 250k a game….
Yeah we’re still paying him, but at least we’re not like the New York Mets paying Bobby Bonilla that 30 yr deferred contract still!!!!
True story-
My little brother works on an HVAC crew with Raycroft’s nephew. One day, when they were discussing the Leaf’s, this individual let my brother know about his uncle. My brother said, “Really? Can you get me an autograph?” The guy says, sure, I don’t know when I’ll see him next, but I’ll try.".
My brother replied, “Oh no, I meant can you get me Toskala’s autograph.” :)
The guy hasn’t talked to him since.

hahaha man I’d feel bad for Raycroft if he wasn’t an arrogant ass that was happy with his non-playoff season because of his 37 wins.
A Nation of Masochists TRUCULENCE!! If you value your life, don't cross our blue line.
I’ve waited all day to respond to this most epic accouncement. I will not jinx it by hoping ill on Luongo until after the olympics, but if he pops a groin first canuck game back and raycroft has to carry them into the playoffs (or miss it, because it’s RAYCROFT, goalie equipment tester, puck scuffs ruin the mint condition!) all I know is it will be EPIC!!!
Mee-Mee-Meep Meep Go Leafs Go Meep Meep! MEEP!!!
by blindfolded tank driver on Jul 6, 2009 9:10 PM EDT reply actions
oh man
that’d be the best. Luongo leads Canada to gold, only to severly injure himself in the final game, so that the Canucks are forced to play Raycroft while they try to squeak into the playoffs…

Do we really want Luongo to start for Canada? Considering he’s never won an important game, ever, I’m tempted to go with a winner. His talent is not in question whatsoever, but his attitude is terrible.
PINSTRIPES!!!1
His first playoff round was outstanding, given his team had no offence. He was good in the first round this year – St. Louis’ power play wasn’t. Round two not so much. I’m more comfortable with Luongo than Brodeur right now, and certainly more than Marc-Andre Heart Attack. Apparently you and I both live here and cheer for different not Vancouver teams, so maybe we’re biased. I don’t think I am.
At the World Cup he dropped into the semi-final and won it.
