seagoal Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I was always a fan of Rask over the years and as a Bruins fan I have watched him play a lot. Not the most exciting goalie to watch, but super consistent and solid. He's been a big influence on me and my love of Vaughn gear. He was in many a Vaughn catolog. Sad to see him retire due to surgery recovery, but he had a solid career. And because it's fun He was also known for his temper tantrums, which were always hilarious to see Tantrums are a good segway to this, which was both a tantrum and an amazing NHL photo op 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullright Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 That really sucks; sounded like his return was going well. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teal Terror Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Anyone think he’ll have his number retired? All time leader for Boston in most fields. Possibly? I was never a fan to be honest, but I have respect for his accomplishments. Always find him to be a bit lack lustre, but that’s just my opinion. He will always be synonymous with Boston though. I do feel for him not being able to carry on and try for another cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Makes sense, because otherwise no goalie numbers would be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other five O6 teams all have #1 retired for a while. Canadiens have three goalies lifted to the rafters. I think there's plenty of numbers.

ilyazhito Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 #1 isn't the only one. If #30, #29, and some of the other goalie numbers are gone, it will be interesting to see what's left. Best of wishes to Tuukka in his post-hockey life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop the parentheses and spell it correctly. https://editorinleaf.com/2016/10/15/toronto-maple-leafs-retire-numbers/ They were officially retired a few years ago. Vancouver does a mix between retiring numbers and adding people to our "Ring of Honour". We retire guys that you'd expect: Pavel Bure, Stan Smyl, Trevor Linden, Markus Naslund, and the Sedins. We "honour" guys that were fan favourites, but not hitting that stride to be retired: Orland Kurtenbach (first captain), Kirk Mclean (solely for gear style), Thomas Gradin (former highest scoring centre), Harold Snepsts (fomer franchise leader in games played / Penalty minutes), Pat Quinn, (former head coach, Manager, league legend), Mattias Ohlund (former highest scoring defenseman), Alex Burrows (probably just for finally beating Chicago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
