Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask became the unfortunate victim of those snap away skate blades this afternoon when the puck managed to knock it loose leaving him with only one skate during a sequence of today’s second round matchup against Tampa Bay. More so however, Rask was also the victim of a ref who gave zero fucks that he lost a blade and didn’t blow the play dead resulting in the Lightning taking advantage of the one skated to goalie to light the lamp and get themselves within a goal in game one.
Here’s Rask getting ready to go all Happy Gilmore on the refs and slice him with his unhinged blade.
