Bruins goalie Rask unfazed by laser pointer in Montreal

MONTREAL – A Montreal Canadiens fan used a laser pointer to try and distract the rival Boston Bruins — but it had little effect.

Video replay clearly showed a green dot dancing in and around Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask on Thursday during Montreal’s 6-4 victory over Boston.

When asked after the game if Rask noticed the laser being pointed at him, he was quick to dismiss it.

“At me? No,” said Rask, who allowed five goals on 23 shots before leaving 7:17 into the third.

Although the Finnish goalie did notice the laser being directed elsewhere.

“You know, I saw it in the second, but it was in the offensive zone,” said Rask. “Good thing I didn’t go blind or anything.”
