He had a rough couple of games after his return (14 goals allowed in 4 games with an 84% save percentage). Then he missed a couple of games prior to the All Star Break. Originally reported as "lower body injury". Later confirmed by Cassidy to be his surgically repaired hip, but was expected to be available shortly after the break. Then over the weekend Cassidy mentioned a setback of some sorts and said he would miss a couple of more games at least.I've been out of the loop, what happened?
Have you followed anything about Tim Thomas, post-career?The "Tuukka Sucks" brigade is going to be pining for his return REALLY soon when they realize that he was so much better in his prime than either of the two guys currently suiting up.
Dude should have won as a starter and got the Conn Smythe and would have if not for this fucking morally bankrupt league and bullshit officiating (and Marchand).
Fuck the Blues.
Thanks Tuukka, sorry you won't be remembered for anything else than not being Tim "Not Gonna Go Shake the Black Man's Hand Because I'm Mad My Guy Didn't Win and Would Rather Subscribe to Bullshit Conspiracy Theory and Tribalism Than Be a Team Player" Thomas.
This makes no sense. In 2022 Tuuka is injured, and clearly not as good as 2013 Tuuka, so the haters are going to wish a time-traveling Tuuka would return?The "Tuukka Sucks" brigade is going to be pining for his return REALLY soon when they realize that he was so much better in his prime than either of the two guys currently suiting up.

It’s 2022. He’s been a Bruin for what, 13? 14 years? And you still don’t know how to spell his name properly?This makes no sense. In 2022 Tuuka is injured, and clearly not as good as 2013 Tuuka, so the haters are going to wish a time-traveling Tuuka would return?
And good job dragging 2012 Tim Thomas into it and calling him a racist. I almost missed that part.
There is a whole slogan that should help people figure it out. 2 U's, 2K's, 2 points. I'm sorry to hear this news. He's the best goaltender of my bruins fandom by far. Timmy had one of the best seasons in history in 2011 but his peak was short. Tuukka has been an above average to elite goalie for 10 years depending on the year. The playoffs are a tough animal. If Mike Richards doesn't break Krejci's wrist. If Johnny Boychuk doesn't blow a coverage, if referees didn't hate the bruins, maybe Tuukka ends up with a cup or 2. It really sucks that he didn't get one. I hate that he goes out like this but he will be missed.It’s 2022. He’s been a Bruin for what, 13? 14 years?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he got in the hall of fame. His career numbers compare favorably with other guys from his era that will probably get in, he took his team to two Stanley Cup Finals. Plus, the things that many Boston fans hold against him will not be held against him by HOF voters.It seems Rask's biggest advantage is the one that leads him to be overlooked, and it was that he was consistently very good in a boring kind of way. His peak was excellent, but even in his non-peak years he was consistently above average.
He is probably the longest of long shots to make the hockey Hall of Fame. However, he should inarguably have a place in the Bruins Hall of Fame, and will probably have a spot in the equivalent in Finland as well.
