Q&A Hi JR, Rask vs Billington — both having outstanding playoffs, who do you think will prevail, and why?

Rask...without a doubt. He is proven competitor and has years of experience. Not to say that Binnington is not a great goaltender or a com-
petitor either, but in a high stakes situation you always want to go with experience. What Rask has shown this playoff is that he can win his
team a game, but also be consistent. Consistency is what ultimately ends up winning you a 7 game series and eventually the Stanley Cup. His
ability to be big in big games and give his team the confidence they need to put pucks in the net at the other end is something that many teams
search for, and Boston has found that in Rask.
