1. Tuukka Rask was amazing

The No.1 star of the entire series was easily Tuukka Rask. Without Rask, the Bruins wouldn’t have won the series. He was absolutely amazing.

Game 6 was an absolute masterpiece from Rask. He stopped all 39 shots that he faced.

There were multiple times where Rask bailed out the Bruins. Boston gave out way too many odd-man rushes as well as shorthand breakaways.

This may be the best Tuukka Rask we have ever seen. He is absolutely in the zone. If Rask continues to play like this the Bruins are going to be a tough team to beat.

If you are a Tuukka Rask hater you have to take a look in the mirror. He has done everything that the Bruins have asked of him.

So hopefully all Boston Bruins fans will realize how great of a goalie Tuukka Rask is. A Stanley Cup would just be the cherry on top.
