Another game from Rask and still below sav - .90
He wouldn't even be a number 1 goalie in the ahl.

“I haven’t shot the puck in the net for a while,” Nash said. “So, it felt pretty good to actually see it go by a goalie. You know, it just stems from confidence and just believing in yourself, trying to do the right things, and hopefully, it will come. So, hopefully, from there I’ll get a couple more chances and start burying more.”

Some really strong plays in the neutral stood out, perfect positioning, take aways, he was breaking up their game there few times.

This team has played well enough to justify adding reinforcements to supplement amid the injuries.
Cassidy and the staff deserve credit.

The view from Tampa
Lightning falls to Bruins for fourth loss in six games
BOSTON — The Lightning got an earlier-than-expected wakeup call Wednesday morning.
An emergency alarm went off at it downtown hotel around 9:30 a.m., about nine hours after it had arrived from Buffalo, N.Y. The false alarm sparked a temporary evacuation.
The Lightning’s sleepwalking continued through the first period of Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to the Bruins at TD Garden. Once again, Tampa Bay came out flat, digging itself a hole it couldn’t get out of.
Now comes the real wakeup call for Tampa Bay (17-6-2), which has dropped four of its past six, including three out of four on this road trip. Is the Lightning really as good as we thought it was? Or are other teams just elevating their game more?
"We have to address some issues," captain Steven Stamkos said. "Obviously, we’re struggling. We have to come out a little better. It was a tough road trip. Hope we can use it as motivation. Things aren’t easy in this league. Sometimes you need adversity to make you a better player and make you a better team. Hopefully we can learn from this."

They complained about a 930mwakeup call. I'd kill for an 8 hour night sleep.
Impressed by the entire team effort tonight, if they can play like this on a consistent basis they will be tough to beat. They are a hard team to figure out sometimes though, how can they lay an egg against Edmonton, then come out and dominate the top team in Tampa Bay? I hope they get all the injured guys back soon, will be some tough choices to make to see who comes out of the lineup. Really impressed also with the play of Riley Nash the past 2-3 games. For some reason I see them sitting Spooner and Vatrano when the injured are back, but I would leave them in the lineup, Vatrano brings some grit and has that shot, Spooner great skater and passer, just needs to be involved more like he was this game.

Cassidy is so good at reading the goalie situation - he was the one who brought Dobby's confidence back at the end of last season and I have no doubt he will get Tuukka right back to how he should be playing - boosting his confidence as well. That first period was fun to watch and Tampa is top of the league, the Bruins played very well still carrying significant injuries. Will we every have a full roster with healthy bodies? I can't wait to find out how that will look!
Back in the 3rd spot with games in hand. Let's cream Philly on Saturday!

Tuukka answered the bell, he's got lots of talent so breaking out of a funk should be very easy for him.

Good game by Rask. Looked like he was ready from the beginning. Team in front of him also played well. This is what we want to see. Not the average goalie from the last two years people make excuses for. More games like this please.

I don’t think one person ever questioned the talent. Questioning him answering the bell on a consistent basis is something to question over the last two years. Need more games like last night but it’s a step in the right direction.

Bruins could be on the outside looking in if the injuries don't subside and Krejci misses more than 1/2 the season
On the other side - if they were 100% they are first seed in the East
Give Cassidy DeBrusk Krejci Cehlarik McQuaid Bjork to add to last nights lineup
You have best line in hockey should you so choose. Youth experience speed toughness
It's all there
Injuries are the key
I needed 1/3 season to see what the have and it's impressive

CZ Shadow 2 Compact: finally here!!!
Ya know, I am still on a high after the victory over the #1 ranked team in the league. Then I think about McAvoy's performance and I don't think that I will land back on earth anytime soon! Ahahah
Jokes apart, this is one of those victories that makes one feel good. Even more so after that disaster that was the Oilers game. This team, if healthy, can do pretty good stuff, I think.
