With Boston's 3-2 win over Washington last night the Bruins are undefeated in their last 7 games and remarkably have climbed back into the playoff race ( 2 points behind 8th place Atlanta). This was Goalie Tim Thomas' 7th straight and amazingly only his 7th NHL game - he has still yet too lose in regulation.
This brings me to my Bruins' goalie reoprt:
Reigning rookie of the year Andrew Raycroft started the season terrible and never did improve so he lost his job to backup Hannu Toivonen (nicked named Tommy Torkelson) who was playing wonderful until an injury sent him to the shelf. Raycroft then got his starting job back but lost his next 2 games 6-0 and 6-2. Cue Providence goalie Timmy Thomas. As stated above he is undefeated and has single-handedly gave The Bruins the boost they needed to try and salvage, what looked like, a lost season. Now Raycroft is backing up Timmy but Hannu should be back in the next week or so - what are the Bruins to do? 1st let's look at the numbers:

Andrew Raycroft: GAA:3.68 SV%: .882 W:7 L:16 T:2
Hannu Toivonen: GAA: 2.63 SV%: .914 W:9 L: 5 T:4
Timmy Thomas: GAA: 1.94 SV%: .930 W:5 L:0 T:2

By the numbers the Bruins should keep Hannu and Timmy but there is more to this equation:
1st off being if Timmy was to be sent back down he would have to clear waivers and with those numbers every team in the league would go for him - he only makes $70,000 when in the AHL and the league minimum when called up.
Next is salary: As shown Timmy's is a non-factor, Hannu makes 500,000/yr. And Rayzor makes 5 times that at 2.5 million /yr.
This is hard for me to say but Raycroft has to go. In terms of money and production he is by far the odd man out. Two years ago I was his biggest supporter and was happy he deservingly won the Calder - However, a goalie's confidence is a strange thing and no matter how much skill he has, a loss of confidence means disaster for a goalie.
The Bruins' goalie situation should be Hannu (when he returns) and Timmy fighting for the starter position. But lets not forget, I do not run the Bruins and with the moves they make it could be 2 Bums like Cloutier and Lalime playing for them when all is said and done.
