By Sam Minton
1. It needs to be Tuukka Time
If the Bruins want to be successful they need Tuukka Rask to play well.
Having a good goaltender is crucial in the playoffs. If he is off his game you might as well start packing. Bad goaltending can destroy even the best of teams.

As of late Rask has been playing well. He has ended the season strong and looks to be the top tier goaltender that the Bruins were looking for when they signed him to that massive deal.
I really want to see Rask bring home the Cup. Tuukka haters will attack him until he does. It’s just like David Price and Red Sox fans. When you win a championship it immediately becomes really hard not to like you.
If the Bruins want to have a chance of beating the Tampa Bay Lightning and possibly winning the Stanley Cup they will need Tuukka Rask to stand on his head.
