As of this writing, Tuukka Rask has played his entire career with the Boston Bruins where the Goalie from Finland has done a spectacular job in between the pipes.   Rask was a First Round Pick by Toronto in 2004 but before he made it to the Leafs, he was traded to Boston in a move that still has Leafs shaking their heads.

Rask became a fixture on the Bruins roster in 2009 and was the backup on the team that won the 2011 Stanley Cup.  He would later become their starter, and he won the Vezina in 2013-14 as the top Goalie in the NHL.  Rask would have two more top-ten finishes in Vezina voting before finishing second in 2019-20, and capturing his first William M. Jennings Trophy.  A runner-up for the Vezina that season, Rask's year ended with a thud, as he left the team during the playoffs in what was the COVID-19-induced bubble conclusion to the year.  

Rask would come back to the team, but injuries and issues added up, and he retired during the 2021/22 Season.  His end to NHL hockey might not have been glorious, but he remains one of the best Goalies of all time on an Original Six team.

While the good doctor loves his Japanese Female Volleyball players, he loves Miwa Asao so much more.  She is exceptionally cute, and a star amongst the fans in Japan.  We approve to!

The good doctor loves those wacky snowboarders.  American, Jamie Anderson falls into that category and she has that perfect balance of cute and quirky and melts all the snow she competes on just by being there.  Damn I love the Winter X Games!

Tania Cagnotto made history by becoming the first female Italian diver to medal at the World Championship.  She also made history by being the first Italian female diver that I have paid attention too.  However, you have certainly seen that the good doctor is no stranger to noticing women athletes from Italy.
