- Ex-Bruin Goalie Makes Crowd-Rallying Appearance In Montreal
Sometimes it feels as if everywhere you turn, there's a former Boston Bruin there doing their thing.
Tonight, that former Bruin is ex-goaltender Jaroslav Halak , appearing to rally the Montreal Canadiens fan base ahead of Eastern Conference Final Game 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes .
Halak's connection to Montreal stems from the 2010 NHL Playoffs, where Halak played 18 games and backstopped the Canadiens to stunning upsets of the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins .

Halak then departed Montreal at six different NHL teams, including the Bruins.
Halak was a Bruin from 2018 until 2021, playing in 90 games over three seasons. Halak posted a 49-13-14 record in Boston, with a .918 save percentage and a 2.40 goals against average, with 10 shutouts to boot.
He was a perfect goalie to back up and platoon with Tuukka Rask , and even was a part of the 2020 COVID Bubble Stanley Cup Playoffs, which Rask only briefly participated in.
