What if Tuukka Rask had won a Stanley Cup as a starter?
Tuukka Rask's entire legacy would've changed if he found a way to get the job done.
Boston Bruins v New York Islanders - Game Six | Bruce Bennett/GettyImagesThere aren't many players in Boston Bruins history who have been dealt a worse hand than Tuukka Rask. The Finnish netminder holds a special place in the team's history, holding the team's all-time mark in wins with 308, which is 56 more than the next closest, Tiny Thompson. He is also first in playoff wins with 57, four more than Gerry Cheevers. The only win stat that Rask isn't at the top of the list in is Stanley Cups, as he came up short in the finals in 2013 and 2019 after being Tim Thomas' backup in 2011.
