MCK – Rask got more aggressive as the game went on and he needs minutes. The glove save on Grabner was ridiculous

Rask looked below average on the Isle last night. That is not good.

play rask
he needs to get his game going, and the b’s need him to get it going too just in case. he wasnt bad tonight but could use the confidence of another game
thomas needs the rest
as for the team being tired and the new player, the lineup decisions alone should spark the team to play stronger, and play stuart (tonights scratch) to help with anyone who might need a night off. plus hes a defesive minded defenseman. and ottawa is a weaker team right now.
bottom line do whatever it takes to get rask in there

Gotta give Thomas a rest but, not on a back to back game night. The team will be a bit tired from playing the isles, and therefore will need the hotter goalie to come up big for them to get the win in ottawa. Let Rask play after ottawa. Plus with the new addition to the team, the chemistry wont be there in game 1.

Ya got to keep playin Tuuk! If you don’t he won’t get any better.

Tuukka needs his minutes, Thomas can use the rest.
Win-win.
