Player Discussion Jaroslav Halák

[BruinsFanSince94]

you guys are nuts if you wouldnt trade rask. if it meant us getting panarin and another quality player here.

You're nuts if you think:

1.) Rask would bring a Panarin level talent to Boston

2.) Rask would waive his NMC to go to a team that could afford him, was good/contender and doesn't have a goalie already (good luck).

3.) You've seen enough of Halak to actually think he can maintain this kind of play and the Bruins can run with McIntyre as a backup. Or Boston can go out and find a capable back up.

im just saying deal Rask to a any team that wants him.
that frees up money. then we can
make a deal to get panarin.
ive been waiting for Rask to come around for 4 years now. i dont see it happening.

Five summer acquisitions who’ve made bigger-than-expected impacts - TheHockeyNews

Its nice to see Halak Bouncing back as it had to be hard for him too endure being sent to the minors and then being recalled to play with an Islander team last yr who had a depleted defense and then the rest of the team forgot how to play defense and became a run and Gun offense. He's a fighter and he's showing it so far this yr with the Bruins.

You’ll recall that it wasn’t all that long ago, December 2016, that Halak was demoted to the New York Islanders’ AHL affiliate. It would be three months before he got the call back to the NHL, too, all the while Halak attempted to find a new home. With no takers, he stuck around with New York, endured a mediocre-at-best 2017-18 campaign and then bolted as a free agent, signing this summer with the Bruins.

In eight games in the blue paint in Boston, Halak has turned in an NHL-best .952 save percentage and 1.45 goals-against average to go along with a league-best two shutouts

Well I watch every game so yes I have. I'm just not over here prematurely ejacking all over my computer because Halak is off to a hot start. Khudobin did the same thing last season as well. Rask is a great goalie and will continue to be like every other season.

Are you watching now?

Will do. The promenade has a great view of the game. Do miss being in the crowd though.

Solid solid game by Halak. Nice rebound from game prior

 

[The don godfather]

Jaro the hero. 40 saves what else you want.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Play Halak tomorrow night against Vegas .

 

[JOKER 192]

Play Halak tomorrow night against Vegas .

Agree, not much of a choice really. Vegas has a high powered offense. Wouldn't want to expose Vladar to that.

No way. He worked hard yesterday vs Leafs

Last thing team is Halak to be injured

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

One of those game where if the score was 2-0 Leafs after one, everyone would be saying, could have been 4 or 5-0 if (whoever) wasn't great. Instead B's up 1-0, best period of goaltending I've seen this season.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I don't think any team wants to face Halak in the playoffs. And much more so than Rask.

 

[Blowfish]

Love watching him. Not a moment I'm nervous watching him. He is so calm!

 

[LouJersey]

Last night put into words what I feel our goalies need to do from time to time. Sometimes they need to steal a period to start the game while the team gets their skates under them. He gives up an early one and maybe the game plays out differently.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Halak has had one bad game, in my opinion is the best Islander moved the off season. Just need a pic of him in Bruins PJs

 

[Marcobruin]

Halak is a solid good goalie .I think we are going see lots of him..Rask may not be worried about fatigue of playing too many games... Who knows Halak may be number 1 by season's end

 

[TCB]

Bruins really hurting on the Right-side.
I see Grizz played there quite a bit last night and looked good.

crazy to think that if the season ended today, halak would be the vezina winner. didnt expect this high level of performance from him.. having said that, i would not trade tuukka. he will bounce back and reestablish himself as the bruins #1.

That would be good news for the team if he did, but the way Halak is playing it won't be easy.

 

[Shad]

Give you Price for him

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Jobs his hes officially #1 after tonight there is no debate anymore.

I hope we don't work him too hard and keep him fresh for the postseason. Plenty of starts rest of the way for Rask. Don't care what either guy makes. Hope he can take home the Vezina he has to be in the lead right now.

 

[McGarnagle]

When Rask comes back, he's going to have to earn his job back. Right now the Halak Ness Monster is the #1.
