It would be a lie to say I’m not concerned about his play as of late but I am. I hate the way people get on Tuukka, especially the media but how can they not after this recent stretch?
def start rask. but if he lets up 5 in game 1. i go with halak game 2.
just going on quotes by cassidy he will not be afraid to go with halak in game 2. only think he does that if we lose game 1 though. and only if tuukka lwts up a bunch like today.I think this is the interesting take worth debating. Is one bad game in game 1 enough to warrant going to Halak? Would Rask's confidence be damaged then? Does coach give him 2 bad games?
And obviously if it goes the other way and he blanks Toronto, then we're all fist pumping. But we've got a week to talk hockey now with no hockey to watch. It's interesting to ponder the different outcomes and what Cassidy might do in them.

I feel the same way. I get the impression Cassidy isn't enamored with Tuukka to the point of simply making him The Man for the playoffs. If Butch thinks Tuukka is off his game at all, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Halak.
None of the brass really seem overly in love with him but he’s the best they got right now.
You can definitely make an argument for that being his best game ever
