Tuukka Rask has been pretty good this postseason, and the Boston Bruins are benefitting from it in a big way.
The goalie had 39 saves in the B’s 3-0 series-clinching victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup playoffs second round.
In the series win over Columbus, Rask was 4-2 with a 1.71 goals-against average and .948 save percentage. But even going back to Boston’s first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rask has played tremendously and given his team a chance to win.
So how does the netminder feel about how he’s played? It’s actually quite simple.
Rask on playing as well as he has in the playoffs: "Better than sucking."
