With the Bruins in possession of the puck and time ticking away in the final minutes of their game Wednesday vs. the Rangers, goalie Tuukka Rask began skating toward the Boston bench. That’s common when a team is down and wants to put an extra skater on the ice to improve the chances of a tying goal.
The only problem? The score was already tied, 2-2.
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy, his assistants, and at least six teammates on the bench frantically waved at Rask to get back between the pipes.
What was Rask thinking?
“I just had to tell something to Jaro [Halak] real quick,” Rask deadpanned.
