Tuukka Rask needs to play out of his mind

Don’t take this as a knock on Rask’s performance in the series. Tuukka has been one of the lone bright spots for the Bruins. He has made some incredible saves and has given the Bruins a chance to win night in and night out.

Sadly that hasn’t been enough. Rask will need to stand on his head for 60 minutes. The Bruins need him to steal the game from the Lightning. Rask has been great in spurts, but he needs a complete effort on Friday night.

The Bruins have struggled to help out their goaltender so he needs to help himself. If Rask is able to do this he will prove that he is an elite goaltender who doesn’t wither under pressure.

Game 4 is the most important game of the Bruins season. If they lose it is going to be insanely hard to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Winning 3 straight games against the Lightning isn’t an easy task.
