Aren't you the guy who says Bobby Orr is highly overrated? Forgive me if I take your player analysis with a big piece of
Yes, sigh. Unfortunately Orr is (2 cups) overrated, and Potvin (4 cups) is underrated.
Rask is an average NHL goalie.

I thought the 2nd goal was screened. Caught a glimpse at the last second but he didn't have time to react. Could live without the staredown of the 18 year old logging huge minutes. His play was strong until that point so I didn't really question it that much. Could be wrong.
If anything, his play in OT was probably the most meh part of his game for me.
Still, to me that's a team loss through and through. A lot went poorly for this team, not on one guy.

Although I don't blame Rask for today's loss, it would be nice if he could be more "consistent" in net.
I'm pretty sure that Rask would admit that he could've played much better today.

So, just to be clear, you're saying to be an elite goalie, you can't ever let in a questionable goal?

Did I say anybody was arguing this???
Nope. I was trying to give you more credit than just assuming you were stating the obvious. I overestimated.
No response to my prior post?

second goal was bad.
he saw it. but it dipped and went under his arm.
thats a goal you have to stop. because ott has nothing going on up until that softy.

This place is loaded with experts I'm not one
I liked the Beleskey & Backes signings
Just how I feel but I'm basically here to learn
Rask 50 games elite
Price
Rask
Holtby
Lunqvist
My top 4
No not at all, its just this " elite" goalie lets in many questionable goals in many big games. Not to mention big games he bagged out of.

None of us are experts because we wouldn't be here to vent, right or wrong if we where.I guess the Bruins played TT over Random Task against all the bad teams in 2010-2011 ?
TT 35 11 9
TR 11 14 2
I've kept my stance on Rask for many years now as I don't believe he is as "elite" as some here think. I also think the Bruins would be better off to deal him now and get a good return and find a new goalie at a cheaper price tag. He has a limited NMC now so maybe it's time!!
I like to call it the Jekyll and Rask and we saw what he's capable of in game 1 and once again as game 2
2 got near the end the moment seemed to be to big for him. If that soft second goal does not go in I think Bruins win that game as that goal gave Ottawa so much life.
Goal 2 and 4 should have been stopped..
However I do not blame him for the loss that was a total team loss/meltdown
On to the next!!
