Why do teams keep signing him or Jose? Did they not pay attention to what they did before?

Wow ... Raycroft gets no post-lockout love from anyone. I feel bad for the guy, but hopefully he finds a home in the Rockies.

Wow, one crap goalie for another. Budaj better be ready.

It is hard to imagine a Calder winner can fall so far from grace. This season should be interesting in Colorado.

Raycroft comes in to provide security (what little of it he can) behind Budaj. At least if you believe what Giguere said about letting Budaj walk in as the #1 for training camp.
But over all, I let the picture on my site speak for itself.
