Remember Zac MacMath, Rapids fans? He was the starting goalkeeper for our team when some guy named Tim Howard showed up to supplant him between the sticks. He was the one who, aside from a couple of miscues, anchored the best defense in the MLS before Howard came along.
Remember?
Remember how, with him in goal, the Rapids were 9-3-5 (W-L-T). He only gave up 13 goals in 17 games, and saved 39 shots. Oh yeah, and he had six shutouts.
Remember that, even with these statistics, once the announcement came for the arrival of Tim Howard, he knew he would never compete for the starting job.
