VIDEO: Old Clip Surfaces of a 22-Year-Old Tuukka Rask Losing His Damn Mind With Providence Bruins
By Jared Kish

Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask has been nothing but cool, calm and collected during the Stanley Cup Finals against St. Louis. In fact, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy was recently asked about the goalie's demeanor in net and he responded with "Google it." Well that set off an internet search frenzy, and this video surfaced of Rask furiously losing his cool.

Rask's temper flared up back in 2009 when he was playing for Boston's affiliate, the Providence Bruins. Tuukka was just a 22-year-old prospect at the time when he blew his top over a call he thought was botched by the refs in a shootout where he ended up taking a loss.
The goaltender protested the call to no avail and took his frustration out on the ice. Rask is seen throwing his stick, smashing it up against the glass, and even throwing milk crates out onto the ice which gave this video the name "the milk crate nutty."

Rask's once hot head has subsided. In Game 3 of the finals with St. Louis, Rask was run over by David Perron of the Blues.
Perron and Rask immediately stood face to face while the Blues winger was yelling at the Bruins goalie. Rask never responded, instead he simply smiled.
David Perron tried to intimidate Tuukka Rask by getting in his face. Appears as though Tuukka laughed in Perron's face. pic.twitter.com/h2jVtK5JMR

Right now Rask has better control over his emotions which is a great thing. Don't test him, though.
