Yeah buddy...
That trade was Raycroft for Rask, straight up. Right after Raycroft had a TERRIBLE sophomore season (following up a calder campaign). Best trade ever.
Ferguson was very, very kind to my Bruins on that day. Even then, Tuukka was seen as one of the best goalies not in the league... and then my team took his development real, real slow (because we had Thomas and Fernandez was making some pretty big $).
I was visiting T.O. a couple weeks ago, and ribbing my Leafs friends about that trade... and also how Raycroft had recently beaten them (he's the backup in Vancouver now)...
Subban is awesome, brother... he's going to be a force, methinks. Actually, I think I can honestly say that your team is better than I thought they would be, during the offseason when we were discussing player movement. I'll be rooting for MTL against Washington... for selfish reasons, of course.
I'm still deluded enough to think that my team can put something together here...
