As a die-hard Bruins fan, I never understood the hate some Bs fans had for Tuukka. Love the guy!!!! Thanks for the memories Tuuk!

[@psynque]

Your shit fanbase hated him through his career. Best goalie in bruins history.

[@chrismoylan8501]

Tuukka never got the respect he deserved and I’ll die on that hill

[@MarcoCostantini33]

Hundred percent agree

[@kokobleu]

I see you

[@novanation4165]

Best bruins goalie of all time

[@kai1x_]

As a nucks fan, agreed. I hated playing em lol

[@jaceking5938]

He was better than Carey Price

[@chiefswildavs3057]

Tuukka's English is better than 90% of Americans

[@chadgrov]

YeH he’s Finnish… of course his English would be better than most Americans. They have an actual education system instead of the US where they just learn about drag queens and why white people are so mean to black people

[@Nick-qq8en]

Are you American?

[@chadgrov]

@@Nick-qq8en likely Canadian which overqualified him to make that statement. Americans are dumb as fuckin rocks bud

[@StandardsFC]

@@Nick-qq8enyes and he is correct.

[@queefqueefington]

As a finn its funny to listen how tuukka says finnish words with english accent

[@jillian8510]

Big fan of Grinnell popping up on RA’s lap to ask Tuukka about Bergy 😂

[@VinayShah-yt5bt]

Has anyone asked Spittin' Chiclets a question on that creator connection website ThoughtSpace AI where you get instant answers to questions and can watch where he discusses it? Ok, was just wondering.

[@maxpowr90]

The snus in the backpocket lol.

[@santeriautio4996]

Unbelievable episode. Nice to see Tuukka and hear his thoughts. First finnish player to get his own interview on Spittin chiclets? I remember a few years ago Selänne crashed in to someone elses interview couple beers in, what episode was it?

I believe it's 216 from 2019

[@twifightsparkill]

I love Rask? Such a great athlete? So good, so solid as a person and a player? I can't even. SO STARSTRUCK! ✨🦄💕

[@illusion9966]

I dont care what anyone says...Tukka was usually 90% of the reason the Bs ever won in the playoffs.. And when they lost his head was always on the chopping block.. Im a lifelong pens fan who hates the bruins.. But he was an awesome goalie..the way a lot of the fans ripped him was just bush league...

[@DrZaius]

Tuukka was elite, any other franchise would've killed to have him. Bruins top stars disappeared in the big moments and gave him no support, robbed him of two Conn Smythes and Cups.

[@PeteNice29]

@@DrZaius Game 7 in '19 they brought the house in the first, then fizzled. The game really was over after the first, not only on the scoreboard, but just the level of play.

[@DrZaius]

@@PeteNice29 Marchand literally skated off the ice and gave the Blues an easy odd-man situation for no reason. Before that you had Carlo just standing around to let O'Reilly deflect a point shot. Both of those soft plays set the tone for the rest of the game. Everyone else disappeared after the first and the dribbling morons that are Bruins fans blamed Rask for all of it.

[@esoterichominid8860]

Two U's, Two K's, TUUKKA Rask!

[@scottelement]

You forgot: “& Two G’s in 17 seconds”

[@frozenpoopy]

Rask freak outs are the best. I remember him loosing his blade in the playoffs against Tampa and after he got scored on he threw it at the boards.

[@MarcoCostantini33]

How are people dumb enough to think lose is loose and losing is loosing?

Amazing intro

[@ericksonjustinAK]

There’s a wasp named after him because he’s got an awesome name. I’ve never been a Boston fan but I always liked Tuukka and thought he was one of the best goaltenders of his era.

[@rickdonnelly3937]

Shout out Salem CC in Peabody.

[@matthewlarose9958]

I was so happy that TO traded Tuukka to Bean town, being a Habs fan it was awesome to see him and Price battle. I truly miss them both. At least Bruins can still play playoff hockey.

Tuukka is very unappreciated in Boston, it’s not his fault he didn’t win a Cup.

Well he did...just not as the starter if im corect?

[@Somethingsomethingmorbid0]

The best bruins goalie i ever witnessed was tim thomas and its not even close. No bias here either because im a habs fan, i hate the bruins. But that guy was unreal.

[@bbb462cid]

See, once you become a hockey fan and not a home town fan, it all becomes fun. Chris Nilan went to my highschool and I love him as a Hab. Great guy to pass few minutes' time with too, Chris is actually a regular dude if given the chance. Beliveau was one of the best ever. I gave LaFluer a standing ovation...at the old Boston garden. So did the rest of the crowd! At the same place he was spit on way back. We appreciated him. Only Hab I really don't like is Lemieux but I don't "hate" him. Love Dryden's book. So start being a hockey fan instead of cherishing hatreds. The fans take that shit way further than most players, and it's dumb.

[@McMold]

Tim Thomas 2011 run was one of the greatest of all time but career tuukkas was ahead all time. Both Boston legends tho
