1. The Boston Bruins goaltenders suck

Before Thursday night fans thought that only one Bruins goaltender was playing poorly. After Thursday nights beating it’s clear that the Bruins have their issues in between the pipes.

Jaroslav Halak started the game, but he wouldn’t end up finishing it. Halak allowed 5 goals and some of them were ugly.

The worst probably was the first goal he allowed. It was such a soft goal. If you are going to get on Tuukka Rask for giving up soft goals you have to do the same for Halak.

Then Rask came into the game late in the 2nd period. He looked like he was going to be a better option. Then Rask once again made some awful decisions and allowed 3 goals.

Now, this is probably an anomaly. I’m not expecting the Bruins to give up 8 goals again anytime soon, but their goaltending needs to be better. You can score plenty of goals, but if you have poor goaltending you are probably going to lose.
