From the many Bruins supporters, Tuukka Rask has had his fare share of detractors during his tenure in Boston. At times, fans and media members are quick to point fingers at the 2014 Vezina Winner with statements like “he can’t carry the team” or “he can’t come through in the clutch.”

One of those detractors, surprisingly, is a former Bruins coach and recognizable name on Hockey Night in Canada.

A day after the Bruins’ 6-4 loss — a game where they surrendered the first six goals — the colorful Don Cherry went on Twitter to express his thoughts on the current state of Boston’s hockey team. In a three-part tweet, he saved 140 characters for Rask.

Of course Rask has had his share of ups and downs this season. But in this instance Cherry, like many of Rask’s naysayers, miss the mark. Sure, he’s been replaced by Jonas Gustavsson on a few occasions in the middle of a game, but more often than not, he’s bailed out a Bruins defense that is still a work in progress through 80 games.

Against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, Rask allowed one goal on 28 shots. That goal he allowed was a point shot from Jaccob Slavin at 18:54 of the first period, one that he certainly would want back.

“[I was] late, but yeah it was my mistake there,” Rask said about Slavin’s goal following the Bruins’ 2-1 shootout loss. “I was looking up high — not down low — and I couldn’t make the save. Soft goal. Probably doesn’t go in if I see it all the way.”

Aside from his goal allowed, and Zdeno Chara saving him near the end of regulation, Rask was pretty solid. From his save on Jeff Skinner to making 10 stops in the third period, the Bruins’ netminder gave his team a chance.

“He gave up one goal,” head coach Claude ‘Hindsight’ Julien summed about Rask’s performance in four words during his brief postgame press conference.

On this night, the main storylines weren’t about how well or how poorly Rask performed. The focus instead was about the Bruins’ offense, again, not being able to capitalize on their scoring chances in a game where they outshot the Hurricanes, 36-28.

Still, there’s no denying that Rask will need to be better come Thursday night against the Detroit Red Wings in — really — the Bruins most important game of the season. Given their ongoing struggles offensively, their playoff lives might be left on Rask’s shoulders.
