Time and again in the post-season, he was the only person seemingly playing. Especially in the Stanley Cup Final series against the St. Louis Blues, there were times it was Tuukka Rask and just him keeping the Boston Bruins in games.
Of course, the easy narrative is that Tuukka Rask can’t deal with the big-game pressure. Tuukka choked against the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013 and now he’s choked again in 2019. That is an incredibly unfair narrative though; he can hardly be held accountable for the first goal nor the second, which was caused by an inexplicably bad line change by Brad Marchand.
