You almost feel bad for Andrew Raycroft. He played the bulk of games last year before losing his starting job to Vesa Toskala this year and even with Toskala injured he finds himself playing backup. Raycroft had his shot and blew it, but you've still gotta feel for the dude. Scott Clemmensen led us to our first shootout win this season and should start in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Jason Blake played well. I wonder if the healthy scratch of Kyle Wellwood woke him up a little. The next healthy scratch very well could have been Blake.
I'll close this recap with your useless fact of the day. Toronto is 16-4-2 when playing a home game on New Year's Day.
