B's coach Claude Julien said after game two in Chicago that Rask "has been just as good as Thomas" and admitted there was fear in not being able to replace Thomas.

Here are the stats....

Tuukka Rask   13-5   1.73 GAA   .944%

Tim Thomas    16-9   1.98 GAA   .940%  Conn  Smythe Trophy(playoff MVP)

* Three more wins for the Bruins gives Rask 16 wins, a likely Conn Smythe and gives the team another Stanley Cup.
