Boston Globe Rask or Khudobin: Who gets the nod for Bruins against Tampa Bay?

[frickinbobby]

I hope Rask is re-doubling his efforts, and re-doubling his focus, getting himself ready to be either a 1a, 1b, or #2 goalie as his coach sees fit! I hope the experience lights a fire under his tuckus and the Bruins go the rest of the season with the best goalie duo in the league!

 

[mar2kbos]

Who cares? Get two points is all that matters. I’m comfortable with either goalie at this point.

 

[Dellstrom]

Dobby, he's been our best and he deserves to go against the best team in the league. Will be a tough game but you go with your hotter goalie.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Still roll with Dobby until he shows the hot streak is over.

They let him cool off by sitting him since Friday afternoon. Hope he's sharp for the high powered lightning

If one game off was enough to cool him off it wasn’t going to last long anyways.

I don't think it matters.. either one is going to get blown out.. sadly.

 

[JP Nolan]

It will be Doby and the team will respond.

What is weird is that the team (this seemed true last season too) doesn't get rolled by the powerhouse teams- they seem to give good accounts of themselves, but when they play the mediocre or crap teams they fall apart. They might get smashed by TB and it wouldn't shock me, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they play a strong game, maybe even scratch out a win.

Agreed, Trying some reverse psychology.

I didn't love either goalies lastt game. So Dobby is the last goalie to steal a game. He goes.

He has played really well all season and the end of last playing periodically. He hasn't played more than 3 games in a row and has managed to stay at the top of his game doing that. I wouldn't want to just dump full time in net on him and burn him out. Assuming Doby continues his ridiculous streak and Rask continues getting median results I would shift more and more games onto Khudobin, as it is I would ensure Rask gets in there every 3rd or 4th game.

Of course if Rask starts playing lights out he will start seeing the lions share of the games again.

This would be a good reason to start Dobby then. If he steals that game, great. If not, it was a scheduled loss and you go right back with the proven better G on Saturday against a much winnable opponent in Phily.

If you start Rask on Wednesday and he has a bad game, then Dobby would likely get the start on Saturday which means a greater chance to end with 2 losses.

 

[Terrier]

I want Anton, but I expect Tuukka to be in net tomorrow.

McDonald: Loss wasn't Tuukka Rask's fault, and he needs to start vs. Lightning

 

[CamTheMan]

I doubt Rask's feelings are hurting into his pile of 7 million annually. Bruins need wins and Dobby is producing. Team first!

2 U's, 2 K's, 0 fault.

That was merely me speculating and using this board for what it is here for, discussion. That said no need to be a dick in your response. "Keyboard psychologist" really? I can tell you this, I was involved in policing at very intense levels for over 25 years, including tours of duty in combat zones. With that, I have been highly trained in non verbal behaviour and I've interrogated some hard characters so I would suggest I'm not just throwing **** against a wall.

Easy there Tazz de Torquemada. You're wound up a smidge too tightly over this.

I totally would fill a bathtub with C notes and WALLOW in it!

In a town where the media treats the Patriots like they're the Cleveland Browns, the Bruins continue to be treated like Fabergé eggs.

Whaaaat... I'm not seeing it but funny nonetheless!

 

[bobbyorr04]

For whatever reason, it's obvious this team plays better with Dobby in net so far this season.

...so I say start Dobby!

Hmmm judging from ^^ this picture maybe he's more like Gerry Cheevers than Timmy Thomas!

...or just a good Photoshop pic.

 

[Comedy of Errors]

No matter what the team or management say's about Rask the team plays better without him. He's trade bait and that's that.

 

[EverettMike]

The odds are overwhelming the Dobby bubble will pop sooner than later, but if they try to force Rask back in before that happens they could end up in a very bad situation.

I guess that picture was taken during Dobbys brief stint as a member of the 2012 Sox pitching staff.
