GDT: Game 23 7:30 PM - Bruins seek to ground Lightning - NBCSN, WBZ-FM 98.5

[Sheppy]

It honestly seems like some people just want Rask to fail for the sole purpose of "i told you so" or just because they really, really want to shit on him.

 

[frickinbobby]

let 'em know you're there......

 

[everett rats]

Huge mistake, IMO.

If they lose, Cassidy opens himself up to a lot of second guessing.

If you lose with Khudobin, nobody blames you for going with the hot streak and losing. Then you can go back to Rask against Philadelphia.

Huge mistake? #1 goalie big salary lets sit him on a national tv game vs one of the best teams in the league..you start him if he fails he fails ..hes a vetren hr kbows how to handle big games i hace no douby he will be money tonight..bruins fans upset me he could pitch a shutout and lose in rd 13 of the shootout 1-0 and fans would be saying he should have stayed up and stopped that one! Dobby has played well bit jas been fornoute as well also the team was playing alot better in front of him..but hes our backup he plays bs lower teams not elite teams

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Yup. Dobby seems to be performing find behind the defense. What's the excuse for Rask?

That’s exactly right ,it’s the same defence ,Khubodin has just been the better goalie.Lets hope Rask has a great game tonight,Bruins are gonna need it to have any shot at winning.

 

[VanIsle]

Just win, I don't care if John Blue plays, get a W, get healthy and hopefully things work out.

If Rask wins great, if he doesn't so be it, Doby starts on Saturday.

Since when are Pitt, LA, NJ, and SJ "lower" teams?

And Toronto as well.

 

[sooshii]

Yeah let's not do anything stupid here Marchand.

I see what you did there.

Rask is staying. He's a top goalie . If he's hitting a bad pump He'll fix it. He hasn't come this far in his career to not know how to handle some diversity

What planet do live on? With Rask in net, the game is in the Lighting hands and theirs to lose.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Rask will lead the Bruins to the playoffs.

Enjoy.

Like it would be otherwise with Dobby in net.

Rask gives the Bruins the better chance to win. That’s why he’s in net.

Cassidy adding points to his coach of the year nomination. Smart move going back with the #1.

Dobby’s not expected great run was fun. It was time to leave the table when ahead. Great job coach.

That's funny...

Rask:

.899 SV%

Dobby:
7-0-2
2.22 GAA
.932 SV%

What am I missing?

 

[Dr Hook]

To be fair its pretty spot on. The same posters will defend Rask because the ice wasnt perfect instead of calling a spade a spade

But to be fair across the board, there will be posters who will blame Rask no matter the reality of anything else.

 

[Bong Whisperer]

Get used to seeing more of Rask looking like this.

 

[Hali33]

I would not have gone with Rask tonight but lets hope for the best here.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Bruins are favored and I think they pull out the win. Having Marchand, Backes and Spooner back should bring a spark. Rask plays well and the who's #1 debate will live on

 

[VanIsle]

Yes because he sucks this year, they are not wrong.
He better get his s*** together

The Bruins are say a 1/4 through the year.

13 games played
39th in sv%
27th in gaa
37th in wins
0 shutouts

Scott $570,000 Darling has a better sv%.

Did I say Rask had better stats?

Keep searching.

Yeah but you missed the point. He could play a great game and the Bruins might still lose, and people will come along and say he sucks. Hell, there are people here who rag on him even when he wins, saying he should have stopped this shot or that shot or should have made a better pass on that play. It is no less ridiculous than the Rask supporters that are being mocked here.

Context

 

[SidCity]

As an outsider who follows the Bruins pretty closely, this is my take on the situation:

You need to ride Rask until he plays himself out of it/the team helps him get out of this situation.

Bruins are going nowhere with Khudobin...people need to stop looking at this trying to win game by game...thats what causes long-term damage.

The first 2 months of a season are a crap shoot....the real season starts around mid-December onwards...

Rask is still the guy that put up 37 wins, 2.23 GAA and 8 shutouts last year.....yeah the SV% dipped but goalies who play on teams that don't give up many shots don't usually have a good SV%.

You said Rask gives you the better chance of winning, which clearly hasnt been the case this year.

Darling makes 4.15 million per.
