Honestly, last night may have been Rask's career best playoff performance. Columbus couldn't get anything past him except for that lone goal that never should have counted in the first place had the play been blown dead. Rask totally kept the B's afloat while they were getting dominated from about midway through the 1st until about midway through the 3rd.
Boston has to get better with the sloppy play and turnovers, though. So many gifted chances that if it weren't for Rask standing on his head could have put Boston in an insurmountable hole.
Yeah, that was a sensational
shutout by Rask last night
I just hope these guys stay alert and show up for Game 5 at home. Even last series if you recall, they won Game 4 at Toronto to even up the series, but then came out flat and lost Game 5 at home to fall behind 3-2 in the series.
We came back to win obviously, but I don't know if we're capable of doing it again especially with how tough a place Columbus is to play. I'd hate to be facing elimination on the road there.
Got to come out strong in Game 5 as well. Marchand and Pastrnak in particular need to do better. Pasta scored a goal but if not for Rask and the great defense, he also would have given up like 3-4 goals off his awful turnovers.
