It was clear just how tight the bond was between the Bruins and Rask. It appeared almost all of Rask's former teammates made the trip, including Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak who are still with the Bruins. Former Bruins Milan Lucic and Torey Krug all traveled to Milan, Italy to be part of Rask's special day.
Rask tried to return to the Bruins this past season but was forced to retire due to a hip injury, which he'd previously had surgery on. Rask left the Bruins with a 306-163-66 in 560 appearances and as the winningest goalie in franchise history.
