The Boston Bruins goaltending situation last season was among the most tumultuous of the problems that the team faced. The season-long debacle that was the Niklas Svedberg failure left the B’s with an exposed defense as a result of Tuukka Rask‘s fatigue while appearing in a career high 70 games.
Down the stretch, Rask tended to drop down to his knees too early and leave the top half of the net open well before he needed to commit. That’s the sign of a worn out goaltender, and Rask was certainly every bit of that.
