GDT: 10/21 Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers 8pm ET NBCSN TVAS 98.5 FM

[TP]

Lacking confidence, BIG TIME. WAKE THE **** UP, TUUK

 

[alg363636]

I've been (cautiously) defending Tuukka but Jesus F. Christ. This is ridiculous. This is going to be the second game you help us lose. You make 7 million a year wake the **** up.

 

[TCL40]

This game is reminding me of the Tampa game-Rask just not playing well and the defense full of holes.

Hopefully this time the team finds some resiliency and finds a way to score another goal without giving any more up.

 

[Alicat]

Who went off on that line change? They share the blame with Tuukka on that

 

[Bridges31]

20 goals allowed in 4 home games. Terrible.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

This close to 5-2 and now it's 4-4. Can't predict this one.

 

[7bostonhockey*]

2 us

2 KS

2 softies


And our defense is still AHL calibre



Edit: lol beaten to the punch

 

[bp13]

Tuukka may singlehandedly lose this game.

That's a snipe.

Line changes and energy are losing this if we lose

 

[Hali33]

Can't give up that goal.
I like Rask but the criticism is very justified.
He's getting plenty of goal support to get this team to a win.

 

[Strange Universe]

Totally fine with agreeing to disagree, but before calling people "fans," Jack Edwards feels exactly the way I do. Said he watched it many times, came to the conclusion I did.

NOTE: Jack and I both love tough hockey and big hits.

He also said Rinaldo qualifies as a repeat offender.

I agree totally that the NHL is trying to eliminate these types of hits and I do see how Rinaldo;s hit can be viewed on the illegal side of thing.
However, where things piss me off is seeing a player like McDavid, who is looked at the next Crosby of the NHL, slamming/hitting a player from behind close into the boards which could have had tremendous implications on Oduya's health and hockey career.Thank-goodness Oduya was fine.
Why was this hit a suspendable one? The truth of the matter is we do all know why...
Another huge reason for me why this league is still a big joke when it comes to fairness around the league.

If Mcdavid's is not merit suspension, well I am sorry, this Rinaldo's hit should not been looked at as a suspendable one either if they want to continue the same path of making errors on calls that should be suspension worthy.

 

[TwineTickler]

That whole "up 2 goals with Claude Julien behind the bench" thing has really gone to **** the last 2 years.

 

[jrbz88]

Great time for a change boys

 

[BB88]

Tuukka may singlehandedly lose this game.

40&86

and I bet the blame will once again go to kids when they don't deserve it.

 

[indy]

Not even remotely true

100 % correct actually but thanks for playing.

 

[Bruinguru]

Bad change... So what...

A Vezina caliber goalie bails out his team...

 

[toasterjam]

so much time left, lucky for us Mason sucks too..just keep the pressure on and we can score again.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

That's what 7 mil buys these days? I'd rather get a 2-3 million dollar goalie and put that other 4/5 million in a top 4 dman

 

[Ice Nine]

That's a snipe.

Line changes and energy are losing this if we lose

Yep. Rask hasn't been great, but he's not responsible for all 4 goals.

 

[Pia8988]

Bad line changes and turnovers leading to goals for the Flyers, but let's just blame them all on Rask.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

I don't want to say Rask is officially worrying me. But he's officially worrying me.

 

[s3antana5757]

Pasta deserves blame for not getting that deep.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

How surprising that instead of the Rask fanboys/fangirls coming back and saying "okay, yeah Tuukka is struggling", they just check out completely.

He needs to get his **** together. Period. End of story. Shoot me for saying the obvious.

 

[What The Puck]

Not even remotely true

People are starting to agree with me about Rask.

It's becoming painfully obvious.

 

[CDJ]

100 % correct actually but thanks for playing.

Kevan Miller says you're wrong.

 

[alg363636]

Rask and K. Miller can staple their ***** to the bench for a couple games
