Matt Hunwick's scoring chance bounced off of Tuukka Rask's jersey, landed on his pad and scattered just before the line. Just obscene luck. pic.twitter.com/Pr6bxjXQcf

Tuukka Rask will haunt Maple Leafs supporters forever.
The one-time prized Toronto prospect was at it again Monday at the Air Canada Centre, making a stupendous desperation save on Matt Hunwick, with a little luck involved.
Rask got a piece of Hunwick's shot, after he was set up brilliantly by James van Riemsdyk, and it was enough to slow down the puck, so much so that it ended up on the back of Rask's outstretched right leg. He knew it, he felt it, and used his left leg to make sure the puck didn't end up in the net.
Here's the play in detail:

The Bruins acquired Rask, who was drafted 21st overall in 2005 by the Maple Leafs, on June 24, 2006 in a one-for-one trade for Andrew Raycroft.
Fair to say Boston won that trade.
