It doesn't sound like Tuukka Rask is digging the whole NHL bubble thing too much.

The Boston Bruins goaltender has played in enough postseasons to understand the importance of fans in the stands and he made it clear that things in Toronto haven't felt nearly the same. In fact, in his opinion, it doesn't even feel like a regular season game. Rask told the media after the game that playing without spectators in the building has made him feel like he's been playing in exhibition games.

 

At least there are ads on the boards? And besides... apparently some teams who qualified for the play-in round are used to these kinds of games...

 

The games have been quiet but us fans are just happy to have hockey back. Sorry Tuukka, but we're just going to have to watch you dominate with no one watching you in person!
