Boston Bruins: Tuukka Rask Off To Strong Start

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask is the most polarizing player on the current roster. Some fans believe that Rask will be able to improve his game over last season. Others believe that the Bruins should try to move him and his seven million dollar cap hit as soon as humanely possible.

Rask is coming off his worst season in the NHL. Rask went 31-22-8 last season, with a 2.56 goals against average and a .915 save percentage. That put him near the bottom for starting goaltenders in the league.

With numbers like that, the Boston media (often over-eager to crucify players) began calling for his head.
