poor tuukka...doesnt even play and he gets shit on. yeah, lets trade him and have malcom subban and jeremy smith in net. good God. They're not making the playoffs with Tuukka so it's time to admit he's not the game breaker he's paid to be. Bruins are in rebuild mode and the sooner they realize this, the better off the team will be.

Hey bud hes good but just needed one more win somewhere,I think thats what everyones pissed about i guess. but it would just be lambs to the slaughter if this team went to the playoffs. today was a mercy kill. and what surprises me the most is i dont see anyone saying anything about pulling the goalie with nine minutes to go. that mailed it in right there. i thought it pretty stupid to give them two open nets. but what ever. another frustrating season in the books.

I think what he was thinking was that if we get one maybe the flood gates open but wasnt meant to be ,and to have to watch this Flyers game to the end makes it even worse

The Bruins are back to back chokers now. Today's loss makes the Winter Classic look like a nice afternoon out. Today's game was inexplicable and indefensible. They are good enough to be in the playoffs. They are better than the Sens, Canes and Devels so there are no excuses. Big changes are coming at least I hope they are. Maybe some of our guys with the NMCs will be very willing to move at this point. Sweeney needs to find a way to get rid of some very comfortable 7 million dollar players. Krejci, Chara and Rask would be a start. If we have to eat some salary it can be done.

Big time Carey Price plays on an AHL team and gets them to the post season every year. Big Time Carey Price comes up big in high pressure games (Juniors/Olympics). Big time Carey Price makes Tuukka look like an NHL wannabe every time they go head to head. Tuukka was too 5 on the league at one point. Now he's just a goalie that can't win big games and has choked down the stretch twice.

They'll be awful without him. Then again, that's probably a good thing for a team that's rebuilding. I would have no problem with the Bruins unloading all 3 of them this offseason.

One thing is for sure, the whole team will go under the microscope and Sweeney will come under heavy fire from the media for this mess. There will be casualties and there will be big changes. Also they didn't miss the playoffs by a point, they choked just enough to miss the playoffs, just like last year only worse. Next year should be like the Leafs this year, total rebuild and a year of no expectations.

Nobody's going to replace him and that's the fucking point. This team isn't good enough. They are in a rebuild no matter how Cam Sweeney tries to fucking sell it. The sooner they try to stack up on prospects, kids and draft picks instead of trading away assets for shitty free agents, the better off they'll be 2-3 years down the line. This wasn't a team that missed the playoffs by a point, they were a team that played their way out of the post season. A month ago they were in first. They lost points to 3 other teams in the division and 2 wild card teams. That's how bad the last month was. 3 wins in the last 12 and getting blown out at home in the final game against a team that had nothing to play for says all you need to know about this group.

Rask is Nabokov 2.0 IMO
I don't want to bash him I actually like him and think he's a great goalie. I definitely don't blame him for the late season collapses. The team has been an absolute shit show for the past 3 years in front of him.
...but with that said he's just not a big game player.
Take away the Vezina and really what has Tuukka done? For some reason when they need him to rise up in the biggest moments he's failed them: game 7 flyers 2010, game 1 and game 6 cup finals 2013 and time and time again against the Habs..
And the thing is by the time this team is ready to compete for championships again he'll have see better days. I would bet at this point he would welcome a change if they could trade him to a contender.

i keep bringing this up...but tuukka gave up two goals...TWO..to the pens in a four game sweep. thats not big games?
when he was young and thomas was hurt he beat the sabres who were better. what evs. you guys can say what you want.
i dont think tuukka is a the problem and its not his fault he has that contract.
how bout throwing some darts at the highest paid guy on the team that didnt even score twenty goals.

Thanks Rick..Hey, never had a cigarette in 8 days. Smoked 40 years, thought this would be too much but with the patch, doing great SO FAR..Seeing our newborn Grandson gave me an extra boost for sure and also my 2 little granddaughters. your health is worth more than this. do not let yourself become weak b/c the b's played like shit. i think they played above expectations this year for what happened at the end of last year. its just a sport. its just entertainment. pretend its a movie that sucked. as philly just scored. haha. No worries Donny..My grandkids come before the Bruins or a smoke..This wont affect my giving up..

Last season, with a bad D in front of him, Rask was 34-21 with a 2.30 goals against average and a .922 save%..5 season in a row before that, he was around 2.00 average and one season even better than that. And his save % and GAA was either tops in the league or close to it. Seriously, with this horrid defence, how can Rask be blamed. Some games yes, he was bad but what goaltender isn't. Even the mighty Carey price had bad games. Take a look at Prices stats before his last 2 seasons. Compare Price's career stats to Tuukku!! Never thoughtI would see the day that Bruin fans would have all praise for Habs goaltender and crap on Bruins goaltender who has better stats than Price..I guess that's what it comes down too..
We're all pissed off over what happened the last month and especially yesterday but lets not act the way Hab fans do. We all said at the beginning of the year that this team was in rebuild and changes were coming. But blaming Rask when he plays behind this team is just not fair. There's tons of blame to go around and I'm really surprised of the job Julien did but he's also part responsible. Not playing Randell who in my opinion was the perfect replacement for Thorts don't make sense to any of us..The very last thing we want to do is drive more posters off this site. I love coming here and would hate to see it shut down..Especially the ones who post every day..We're all supposed to be friends, lets act like it and yes, I'm to blame as much as anyone!!
