Bruins fans are heading into the summer with a salty taste on the tip of their tongue.
Boston exited the playoffs after the Tampa Bay Lightning bounced back from a Game 1 defeat to win four straight and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Lightning were the top seed in the East, so the outcome of Game 5 was not a complete shock, but Brad Marchand’s licks and Tuukka Rask’s play were certainly talking points in the aftermath of the series.
On the Boston radio dial this week, the hosts and callers were almost unanimously in agreement that the goaltender was not the problem for the Bruins.
