1. The Boston Bruins have a goaltending problem

Ben Franklin said that there were two certainties in life, Death and Taxes. I would like to make an addition to that statement. It seems like the Boston Bruins will always have goaltending issues.

Once again Tuukka Rask had a rough start to the season. He looked completely out of it. If any other goaltender had performed as Rask did early on in the season they would have gotten sent down.

While Rask was struggling Jaroslav Halak looked great and was dominating teams. Now it seems like both guys are struggling at the same exact time. Just what Bruins fans want to hear.

Boston has given up 5 goals in 2 straight games. That is absolutely unacceptable.

The Bruins need to figure this issue out quickly. Tuukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak need to figure out whatever is wrong or else it will be a long rest of the season for Bruins fans.
