Former NHL goalie shares who the worst fan base in the NHL is
Bodog Sports recently revealed their top 10 list of worst fan bases in professional sports. Many of the usual suspects found themselves on the top of the list. The list features the Dallas Cowboys, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Celtics and New York Yankees. Finding those teams in the top 5 isn't surprising to anyone.
What was surprising to some was when a former NHL goaltender and Calder Trophy winner, Andrew Raycroft threw his two cents into the debate. Raycroft was able to speak from some personal experience when be named the worst fanbase in sports.
Montreal Canadiens. Not even close. #GoHabsGo
The Canadiens were featured 8th on the list, but clearly in his time playing for both the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs, Raycroft had to endure constant contact with the Canadiens' fanbase.
Raycroft played 280 NHL games, over 11 NHL seasons, with 5 different teams. Unfortunately Raycroft was never able to replicate the results of his Calder winning season, but he did manage to go 113-114-27 in his career.
