I understand the family emergency is a valid reason, but prior to leaving he was highly critical of, right or wrong, the timing of his decision to exit left some to question his motives. Just a few days prior to departure, was critical of the atmosphere and intensity level surrounding the experiences of bubble hockey.
After the Bruins' lost Game 2 of their first round series against the Canes, stated it "doesn't really feel like playoff hockey out there" and compared the experience to "playing an exhibition game."
The comments may have been tied to his decision to leave, wondering whether he was truly invested in the Bruins' playoff run or mentally checked out.
Rask is having a down season and does not want to play for anyone else. He also wants a new deal to replace the $7M per, so even if he agrees to resign AVs would rather focus on the younger Grubs.
Was he wrong, lol?
He had a bad three games in a row where he gave up 13 goals. He isn't having a down season.
