I hope Tuukka and his family are okay.

 

[Scotto74]

so something might be going on and his head is not in the game. Which explains a lot.

Hope it is nothing to serious and he and his family are alright.

 

[Scotto74]

so who becomes our new backup for the time?

 

[norwoodmustang]

Explains why he wasn't on the ice at practice this morning.

Gotta be McIntyre.

good lord, hope all is ok for Tuukka, it might explain some things. He`s been a notoriously slow starter but some of the goals he has allowed this season thus far have been one`s that were a notch worse than softies, he hasn`t looked one bit focused outside short stretches during a few games

Well it's past 12 noon, so the Bruins won't be picking up Eddie Lach on waivers. Unless of course they already put in a claim

Also, hope the best for Rask and his family.

There's just something about this I don't get. Any guesses?

Was thinking the exact same thing

 

[Ratty]

Gotta be McIntyre.

Why he and not Vladar?

Murphy is a putz???

Hollllllly shit

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Why he and not Vladar?

Yeah he played well in exhibition I thought,didn’t see the games.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Why he and not Vladar?

Let Vladar play down there and McIntyre can sit and watch Halak play

 

[ODAAT]

Murphy is a putz???

he is but is he necessarily wrong here? Let`s see how Haggs responds as a guy who just loves Tuukka

Look who is talking. Gross.

Hope all turns out well for Rask.

 

[LouJersey]

Rules out a lot I believe

 

[Chief Nine]

It has to be something major for Tuukka to ask for and the team to grant a leave of absence. Since his health has been ruled out by Sweeney I only hope it isn't something catastrophic with a family member
