Tonight’s Bruins-Lightning game was a chippy affair, with scrums, fights, face washes and general surliness after pretty much every whistle.
Tuukka Rask was in the middle of it all.
Rask, known to have a bit of a short fuse, took exception to Cory Conacher shoving Brandon Carlo into him. He was quick to give Conacher a piece of his mind.

EVERYBODY FIND A DANCE PARTNER!
Good for Rask, standing up both for himself and for Brandon Carlo.
After the game, Rask said he “just had to let [Conacher] know I was there.”
He also needs a few pops, apparently:
Rask: "I'm gonna need a couple of beers to cool down after this game."

David Pastrnak also credited Rask’s intensity for getting him fired up.
