That’ll shut people up about Rask for at least tonight.

Have a day

 

[Emerz]

Rask stopped 7 straight breakaways including the 3 in OT.

Love it

Not that it matters one bit......but Rask not the #1 Star?

.... are you sure?

Great job, Tuukka

 

[Boston Bandit]

Bruins owe Rask a nice dinner.

Outstanding!

 

[BruinsBtn]

The offence is cold but i wouldnt change anything.

5 posts against the Leafs
3 posts tonight and plenty of chances.

The team is playing well. Deserved the win.

Would have loved to see Debrusk bury that feed from Cave. Or Heinen on the backhand.

Krejci is playing really well too and hit the post twice.

 

[Bruinaura]

*runs around the forum to celebrate but skips the high fives as one of them might miss and injure a Bruin*

Donato Up for 2 games gives team an Xtra point in the standings.... Good job

 

[Budddy]

Thank you Tuukka and I'm glad I named my doggy after you

I am really liking the John Moore signing

 

[Bruinaura]

The NHL app is hot garbage.

 

[Zillah]

I worry every time DeBrusk or Pasta gets hit. Jake just seems so frail at times and battles so hard

 

[sooshii]

TWO. POINTS.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Here’s what I take out of that game:

- From a talent perspective, I don’t think there is a better goalie in the NHL than Tuukka Rask at his strongest. He hasn’t been there in a long time, but seemingly has been since he returned from his leave. If he can keep up this level of play, we are going places.

- They showed balls in the 3rd. Players were playing a lot bigger than they are. With all the injuries, we certainly are not icing the team playing with the most skill, but everyone was giving 100%.

- Bruce Cassidy is a great coach, but I still don’t know what the hell he is doing with his 3 on 3 lines.

 

[Aeroforce]

Rask is so technically sound. Those were tough saves and he made them look easy.

For the sake of this thread, I'm glad Barzal didn't net the game-winner.

 

[HustleB]

Great game by Tuukka. Good for Donato. Marchand and Pasta looked much better tonight then in recent games. David Krejci is a different character this year and that has been incredible to see.

This team just keeps grinding out points and it is fantastic. I did think they were quite inconsistent tonight but everyone seemingly had there moments.

 

[JOKER 192]

Full marks for Rask tonight. Nice win , getting some distance away from the Scabs.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I worry every time DeBrusk or Pasta gets hit. Jake just seems so frail at times and battles so hard

Half the time Jake is throwing himself into the boards lol

Both guys are skill based, but play a pretty hard nosed game (especially JDB). Injuries in the future may just be an unfortunate reality we have to accept.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I ask again...what is going on with Brick’s hair?

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins been to hell and back.I want Matthews with shoulders like Billy Jean King

 

[Bruinaura]

Well, what's he supposed to do, just leave it there? Tell the ref to pick it up?

 

[Coach Parker]

Excellent game for Rask and a tip of the hat to him. He was elite once again.

Bruins fans are currently spoiled with the goaltending tandem.

Also, is it just me or have other teams started to really single out the few remaining Bruins players that can score and are hitting them hard (Krejci, DeBrusk and Pastrnak)?

It feels like we are a game away from losing another because it's easier for management to bring up prospects and let them try to swim while the sharks feast on our top players and pull them underwater. Add another top six scorer and they have other worries besides trying to bury those three.

[Bruinaura]

"Are you starting to like overtime, Bruce?"

"NOPE!!!"



I like Cassidy

 

[Boston Bandit]

He looks unstoppable! So happy we have him and Halak. Don't trade either of them!
