The .923 is exactly at his career avg, yet I've been told he is simply on a hot stretch. Nothing to see here. Apparently Tuukka is just lucky this year.18-8-4 Record

Since Rask started 3-15 he's been pretty good although they are mostly shots from far away

But he is overpaid.Rask Stones Devils As Bruins Extend Streak
The ace netminder turned back all 20 shots with ease. And for the night, Rask made 37 stops to - despite twice falling behind by a goal - pace the Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the Devils at TD Garden. The win extended the team's points streak to 17 games, Boston's longest such stretch since 1982-83 (15-0-2).
"He was awesome. We didn't have a good start and Tuukka was unbelievable in the first period for us," said David Pastrnak. "It could have easily been 3-0 for them, but he made some great saves. It's hard when you're waiting for a team coming off a back-to-back…we knew it was coming.
"That's why we have Tuukka and he got us going."
While that frantic first period led to a flurry of Rask stops, it was his third-period heroics that were the difference. The 30-year-old Fin stoned Damon Severson's back-to-back breakaway attempts around the 12-minute mark of the closing frame to keep the Bruins up by a goal.
"I think quality saves were more late. I think early on there was a lot of volume of shots. I think their game plan was clearly funnel everything to the net, see what happens," said Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy. "I thought Tuukka was our best player."
This game wasn't a big game though so his performance doesn't matterBut he is overpaid.
HF gives you a paycheck for this? You ARE overpaid!He's in good company.
So am I.

Considering all the shit you have to wade through, I'm sure if they did pay you, it wouldn't be enough. Especially on Habs days.I wish.
20 years and not so much as a friggen nickel.....or even a lousy T shirt.
Glad you finally are able to see things my way. What changed your mind?But he is overpaid.
I wouldn't go that far. Yes it was a non divisional game in the dead of January but as the annoying play by play guy on NESN always says, "Pointsh are at a premium."This game wasn't a big game though so his performance doesn't matter

Sending prayers to the Tuukka god that he can keep his brick wall thick and strong for the next five games with the impeding lack of goal scoring....
I was in my 30's when I joined here the Patriots had 0 Super Bowls and it took me 15 years to get my first infractionI wish.

It would be Philadelphia lolAnd these past 20 years are the golden age of Boston sports.
Imagine how bad this play would be if the teams sucked.
Or worse, Cleveland. Because even if they ever do win a championship...it's still Cleveland.It would be Philadelphia lol
