Former Bruins, Leafs goalie slams Montreal faithful on social media

Old rivalries die hard, especially in the hockey world. Andrew Raycroft, goaltender for both the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs over the course of his career, has come out swinging against arguably the biggest rival of both teams, the Montreal Canadiens.

A recent post by a sports betting site asked which team in the world of sports had the most annoying fanbase. Raycroft didn't hesitate at all with his answer.

"Montreal Canadiens. Not even close," said Raycroft in his reply.

Raycroft was drafted by the Bruins in the 5th round in 1998. In 2006, he was famously (or perhaps infamously if you're a Toronto fan) traded to the Maple Leafs in exchange for the rights to Tuukka Rask. Declaring a winner in that trade shouldn't be a problem for even the most biased fans. Raycroft went on to play for Colorado, Vancouver and Dallas before ending his professional career after a stint in Sweden in 2013-14. He played a total of 280 regular season games in the NHL, and another 8 in the post season.
