TORONTO (CP) - Andrew Raycroft was happy to see former Boston teammate Hal Gill when the Toronto Maple Leafs opened their NHL training camp Thursday.

"I'm going to let him get lost first," Raycroft kidded as he felt his way around Ricoh Coliseum.

The Leafs' new No. 1 goaltender and towering defenceman Gill were merely two of many new faces. There was veteran centre Mike Peca and Czech defenceman Pavel Kubina, too.

Gone are Tie Domi, Ed Belfour, Eric Lindros, Jason Allison and Aki Berg as the rebuilt Leafs look to get back to the playoffs they missed last spring.

The newcomer most Leafs fans will be watching the closest will be Raycroft. They'll want to want if he's the Calder Trophy winner of 2004 or the slumping goalie the Bruins gave up on last season.

I sure hope he enjoys the hockey buzz the city has but let's see what he thinks of it after a tough loss during the playoff hunt. lol, different kind of buzz I guess.

Yup. Hopefully he starts to play better as the pre-season goes on.

By the way, did anyone see the Blue & White game? how was Justin Pogge?
