Rask was one of the very best players in these playoffs, not his best game today surely but no goalie in existence could have stolen them this one.

Well I'm a Flyers fan. Rask is batter than any goalie we have had in 30 years. He played great in the playoffs. But I'm gonna be honest he blew it. They were good shots, but Boston had great shots. He did it against Chicago and he did it tonight. Thats 2 times in a row the biggest games of his career he just wasn't good enough. He is very very good, but he has to make a save. When you light the other goalie up like they did and then your goalie let's up a goal that's questionable and then another you have to save, its over. It was over at 2-0, trust me like I said im a Flyers fan i know how it changes the team when they are dominating then your goalie let's in a crap goal. Sorry guys I was rooting for you.
He'll unfortunately get an even worse rap because of tonight. Two lucky goals when they only had 5 shots in the period... Just shit luck.
He got us to game 7 of the Finals. Any talk of him being a choker should be put to rest but unfortunately it won't. His run this year was just as good as Thomas in 2011... Just without the ending.

Tuukka was no doubt the MVP if the Bruins had won this series. It's a sad ending for all the Bruins and all their fans, but it's the saddest of all for Tuukka.

Get out of here with that. A deflection goal and then a defensive breakdown due to a poor giveaway by Marchand, yup all Rasks fault!

Anything that means he doesn't have to lay blame at Bergeron.
Rask let in 4 goals, Rask didn't lose them the game. The team lost.
Deflected, but when through the five-hole with his stick out of position.
Difficult save? yes, but certainly not an impossible save

1st line lost that series. People want to blame someone for that Cup loss, it’s on them. Blaming Rask is a stupid take.
As a diehard Price fan, I can empathize with Rask fans. He played well enough to win. Always gives his team a chance to win, but the guy at the other end made more saves tonight. Switch goalies and St. Louis still wins the Cup. He's a great goalie.

Congrats you just proved you dont know jackshit about being a goalie. You cant grasp the concept why deflection goals often go in? Its because the goalie was poised to make the save as if the shot was not deflected and by the time its deflected its sometimes too late to react.

You do know that even if a puck is deflected, a goalie can still make a save. Right? Especially that one.

Wrong.
There was competition on Conn Smythe and Ryan O'Reilly won it.
Don't believe all that shit what some f***ing iltapaska ( Iltasanomat ) publishes as a official truth.
You don't cover the five hole if the shot is not heading there. A deflection from that range makes any save a matter of puck luck as there's no time to react.

I am saying it was a saveable tip shot, I am not saying it was a soft goal, or even a weak goal, saveable.
Rask was positioning himself to deflect the shot wide and instead it was deflected down and went five-hole.
