The context in which the National Hockey League has resumed its activities is particular, but the decision to Tuukka Rask leaving the Toronto “bubble” in the middle of the playoffs probably didn’t delight his Boston Bruins teammates, opines ex-goaltender Patrick Roy.
Rask announced Saturday ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Carolina Hurricanes that he was going home, because “there are things more important than hockey right now. in [sa] life, and it is to be with [sa] family ”.
“It’s not the kind of [chose] that I would have done. I would have felt like letting my teammates down. It’s not part of my culture. Everyone has a different culture and [Rask] has chosen to return home, said the former Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche color man with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 1986, 1993, 1996 and 2001.
“I’m sure the Bruins players will always say they support his decision, but there’s a side behind you.” [où] you have the impression that the player is dropping the team. “
Roy agreed that he would have needed a period of adaptation to find his bearings in the “bubble”, but given that the goal of any player is to win the Stanley Cup, he would have made all the sacrifices required. .
