1. Tuukka Rask is the best

If you thought that Tuukka Rask was a bad goaltender I have some tough news for you. Rask was amazing in Game 4 and has been the Bruins best player in the postseason.

Rask stood on his head throughout the game. He bailed the Bruins out and ensured they were able to win the game.

Rask stopped a penalty shot and made multiple saves when The Blue Jackets were racking up zone time. You could even say that Rask was the Bruins best penalty killer.

On Thursday night Rask stopped 39 shots. He played out of his mind. Without a doubt, he was the 1st star of Game 4.

If Rask keeps up this level of play the Bruins will be a tough team to beat. Especially if the Bruins are able to score as they did in Game 4. So far in the postseason, Rask has been on top of his game and one of the best players on the Bruins roster.
