BRUINSNHLShort Handed Takes: A Boston Bruins Podcast

The Bruins should be signing Tuukka Rask TODAY!

I’m going to start this blog off with a disclaimer: I am a casual hockey fan. I like the Bruins and watch closely when the playoffs roll around. So take the next sentence that I am about to type with a grain of salt. The Bruins should be signing goaltender Tuukka Rask TODAY. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Sign him back on the Bruins roster now! Don’t want to agree with me? Okay, let’s break it down.

The Bruins need Tuukka Rask to Pair up with Linus Ullmark

So recency bias says that Linus Ullmark has been better. He was posting a 4-1 record in a five start stretch with a .941 save percentage at that time. But wouldn’t it make sense for the Bruins to not only have Tuukka as an emergency goalie at this point? Jeremy Swayman is in COVID protocols (along with basically the rest of the Bruins team at this point!), so they could use a veteran backup goalie. Plus, even when Swayman comes back healthy, you can give him more time to develop while Rask and Ullmark alternate in net for the rest of this season.

Tuukka’s the Best Bruins Goalie Arguably in Team History

Tuukka owns a ton of records in Bruins history. Regular season, playoffs, you name it and Tuukka is probably on top of the list in that category. Why wouldn’t you want that guy playing goalie for you when your team needs a spark? And trust me Bruins fans, from the outside looking in; it seems like this team needs a spark.

In Conclusion

Get Tuukka Rask back in a Bruins uniform for at least the rest of this season. It’s not that hard. Tuukka wants to be back in Boston. He’s made it well-known he doesn’t want to play anywhere else. Give Tuukka at least one more shot to get this team somewhere in the playoffs. Tuukka fans, unite!
