He bounced back quite nicely after allowing that funny goal from Rangers. I think Bruins at +odds will be the value play. They are not going to wither in Chicago. Then again, I have been losing on NHL, so you should probably fade me (took Penguins to win it all before the Bruins series).

Several of the hawks goals were on counter attacks where they had numbers - got it to the net, and a wide open man got the rebound. A few of them I felt like Rask had no chance on. Bruins players didn't get back and close out their man on D. I thought Crawford looked much worse. Most of the goals on him were not rebound goals but goals that beat him on the first shot, glove side. That will be an issue if he keeps up that type of play.

True, I'm not saying Rask was terrible, but going from an under 1 GAA in the last 8 whatever games and you give up 6 at home...tends to be a mind fukk for some goalies. Rask wasn't screened on that OT goal, he was in bad position and lunged late and missed.
