Bruins Goalie Baffled By Nasty Center-Ice Shot
On the replay, Jannik Hansen's goal looked more like a baseball pitch than a slap shot, so Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask's inability to stop it made sense. The puck deflected off of Zdeno Chara's stick and dropped, leaving Rask attempting to figure out what the hell just happened....
