Rask ready for new chance at postseason glory

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

 Tales of the Boston Bruins' run to the 2011 Stanley Cup championship will feature one goaltender.
Tim Thomas wrote his name into NHL history and Boston folklore with his heroic goaltending through four series, including three that went seven games.
But there were two goaltenders on that legendary Bruins squad. And Tuukka Rask had a front-row seat for all the amazing feats of his predecessor in the Bruins' No. 1 goaltender job.
"Playoffs are a fun time every year," Rask said. "I didn't play, but I was still a part of it. I learned something new, and I think it's just a great situation to have that challenge and that opportunity to make it a good run. That's what everybody tries to do, and that's our goal too. So it's exciting times."

Rask has evolved as the Bruins' #1. Going to be exciting to see what he does against Toronto in the 1st series.

Fuck yeah, Tuukka is the man

Tim thomas leaving was like nothing to Boston too, because people knew Rask would step right in and be amazing.

Tuukka is great but I find it funny when he rages lol.

Does anyone know what is going on with Thomas? I know he's taking a break and with the Islanders now, but ever since the incident with him not attending the White House, he's been acting weird.

Yeah, if you're a d, and you fuck up, Rask let's you know.

I'd take him over Raycroft.
 
Oh, right.

 

[H-MYK]

I'd take him over Raycroft.
 
Oh, right.

You can thank John Ferguson Jr for that. Man, I hated that guy. Although I can't help but wondering now which goalie the Leafs would be better off with, him or Reimer.

 

[The Guid]

Is that a serious question?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Reims by far.
 
Raycroft can't even hold a backup job in the N.

 

[The Guid]

Oh, I think I understood that as Rask vs Reimer haha

 

[snipezo]

Oh, I think I understood that as Rask vs Reimer haha

Lol you weren't the only one.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I thought of it as Raycroft vs Reims.
 
Maybe it was Reims vs Rask.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

 
 
Haha, will never forget that. That's just funny.

I was talking about Rask or Reimer. Not Raycrap or Reimer. Sorry for the confusion
