Rask answers the call in first start in net

Lifeless Bruins look like sitting ducks

At 14:58 of the third period last night, when Anaheim’s Joffrey Lupul was sent off for interference, Bruins coach Claude Julien sent Shawn Thornton, Steve Begin, Byron Bitz, Andrew Ference, and Mark Stuart out for the power play - about the five unlikeliest players to be on the ice in a five-on-four situation.
