Kind of think the opposite, people go to sleep not knowing how good Rask is for the B's. He's the reason they stole game 1 in my eyes. He was excellent and got some help from the iron when needed. He outplayed Lundqvist early in that series and is off to another excellent start.

how do they go to sleep?
guy has been the starter all season for the B's, who have been a playoff caliber team all year. He's the one who made Tim Thomas expendable.
Vokoun just got the nod over the flower during the playoffs, and has never really been a low scoring goalie.
The pens might have a 100M offense and defense, but keep in mind they're playing with a back up between the pipes

I agree with this. Vokoun gave up a lot of juicy rebounds in the first two series that didn"t end up in the back of the net. Vokoun is especially bad when the puck gets around his feet. There will be plenty of goals scored in this series.

I just feel like Rask flies under the radar and doesn't get his due.

Fluery was horrendous last year too, hence them getting Vokoun in the off-season. One he regained his playoff form of last season and couldn't stop a beach ball, Disco Dan made the right move going to Vokoun.
