The Bruins Have Their Goaltender
Tuukka Rask is the kind of player who wins Stanley Cups.
With Rask, Chara, Wheeler, Ryder, and Bergeron, the B's have some nice pieces to build on for what should be a real run for the Cup next season, after they address the goal scoring shortage with some free agents and the second pick in the draft. This year, we'd be happy just beating the Sabres. Being up 2-1 is a nice spot to be in and a win Wednesday should clear the way for a spot in the Conference Semis, though it's hard to imagine the Bruins doing much serious playoff damage this year with their shortage of goal scorers. You can't win every game 2-1 or 1-0.
But there is real hope in Beantown concerning the town's Original Six entry.
Rask, mark our words, has a chance to be the next great NHL goalie. Big, fast, quick, smart, aggressive without being reckless, and doesn't take too many costly chances. We've always loved him, and his play so far in the Buffalo series gives us reason to think that the Bruins are closer this season so their first Cup in almost four decades than last year's team with all its hype, a club which struck us as so much fool's gold. Mostly because we've never been high on professional journeyman Tim Thomas.
And we couldn't be higher on Tuukka Rask.
Come join in the fun and watch the Bruins v Sabers Wednesday night at 7pm.
