Think we saw Rasks last game as a Bruin? He was already mentioning retiring earlier in the season.
Agree!
When you get no info this is what happens...speculationCome on with all the bad look crap. There is more to life than a look, and you know aboslutely nothing about the situation to say something stupid like that. How about we wait to see what happened (if we ever do know) before throwing out any idea of what it "reeks of"
In retrospect, it looks like he tried to hang in there as long as he could and then was overwhelmed by a stronger obligation to his family. I respect what is obviously a very personal choice. Instead of throwing him under the bus, I personally thank him for his part in getting us this far.Under current circumstances I support any player of any sport that opts out.

Well they haven't been playing the way the should so let's hope they all pick it up.Halak in and I bet they don't skip a beat.
But there may well be an issue with his family . He is doing what he thinks is right for his family and I will not fault him for that.
Family is ALWAYS more important than hockey

Not for many fans it isn't, at least when it comes to the players- it's winning that matters most. It's better to have a trainwreck of a personal life and a piece of metal on your shelf.
You totally miss my point.Not our business. They would not tell us that kind of info (and should not)
If Rask doesn't come back....who's our futute starter? Halak long-term, Vladar, or free agent?
I will go so far as to say they will be better. I didn't sense that Rask's heart has been in this whole thing...it showed in his play.Halak in and I bet they don't skip a beat.
link??sweeney said Tuukka and his family are perfectly fine
he just quit

Summer will be over before these fake playoffs.Wow
Given Sweeney 's comment that this is not a surprise and that the Bs were privy to information
My guess is there is a major event at home and if so I totally understand the decision
And if not- there will be a trade this summer
If there is a family issue it’s completely understood. However if it were a family matter, wouldn’t Sweeney say so? He just had a presser and basically said “Tuukka decided to leave the team”. I’m no PR expert but the team has to know Rask would take heat for this. If it were indeed a family matter I’d think they would’ve mentioned it? Maybe I’m offBut there may well be an issue with his family . He is doing what he thinks is right for his family and I will not fault him for that.

If Sweeney said his family is perfectly fine then this is crap. Yet again Tuukka pulls out. Again my sentiments are IF this is true that Sweeney said his family is fine. NHL has had zero positive tests for the last few weeks.
What the NHL PR report and the truth are two very different thingsIf Sweeney said his family is perfectly fine then this is crap. Yet again Tuukka pulls out. Again my sentiments are IF this is true that Sweeney said his family is fine. NHL has had zero positive tests for the last few weeks.
