Warning: Story contains coarse language
Tuukka Rask wasn't kind to himself after coming out on the losing end of a wild overtime defeat to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night.
The Boston Bruins goaltender offered a blunt assessment of his play in the 6-5 loss when asked about it postgame.
"I was horseshit all day," Rask said, according to Joe McDonald of Boston Sports Journal. "All night I felt like shit and didn't see the puck. I wasn't sharp ... (I let in) weak goals."
The veteran netminder allowed all six of the Penguins' goals on 35 shots, including one to Evgeni Malkin in the waning moments of the second period, an unassisted marker by Riley Sheahan - who now has only six goals in his last 115 games - in the third frame, and then Malkin's overtime winner.
Rask had given up only four goals in his previous five contests coming into Sunday's affair, and he's been solid for most of the first half of this season, posting a .920 save percentage in 27 appearances including the high-scoring loss to Pittsburgh.
He'll have some time to rest up now, as the Bruins are on their bye week until Saturday when they return to action for a road date with the Montreal Canadiens.
