Boston Bruins fans last saw goalie Andrew Raycroft in a Bruins uniform during the 2015 Winter Classic Alumni game.
The last time Raycroft actually played any meaningful hockey was back in 2013-14 and it wasn't even in the NHL , it was in the Swedish league, but he came close to being thrown in the mix on Saturday.�
When Tuukka Rask unfortunately went down due to concussion, the Bruins were left scrambling and luckily their emergency backup Raycroft, was already in the building.�
Raycroft was doing a television hit when the team called him trying to get him ready.�

The team eventually had to send an Uber to his house during a snowstorm to get his equipment.�
Once the equipment was brought back to TD Garden, it was a nervous night for Raycroft.�
"Literally, four times I've had on my equipment since I've finished playing," he said. "I was shaking for at least 15 minutes of the second period, and then by the third, I was thinking no way this was possible."
With shakes like that, it's probably a good thing Raycroft didn't have to step on the ice!
