Tuukka Rask attempted a comeback from off-season hip surgery. In the end, he didn’t get to end his career on his own terms.
On Wednesday, Rask announced his retirement following a decade and half long career with the Boston Bruins.
The retirement speculation began Tuesday when The Athletic reported that the Bruins expected Rask to announce his retirement. The news became a reality less than 24 hours after the B’s blew another two-goal lead in their 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Rask drew his share of critics throughout his 15 seasons, even with all his accolades.
