Goalie Tuukka Rask’s Awesome Metallica Milestone Gift
Everyone knows I’m a huge hockey fan, but goalie Tuukka Rask just went up a couple notches in my book because of what the Boston Bruins gifted him for his 500th start.
They surprised him with a Metallica drum kit! From what’s being reported, Tuukka is a huge ‘Tallica fan. How cool is that?
Lars Ulrich’s drum tech took to his Facebook to spread the news of the gift for the huge Metallica fan. “So last night I got to meet Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and present him with a Lars replica drum set that his teammates bough for him as a gift for his 500th game played. Thanks to Tuukka/Keith Robinson and the Bruins for a magical night!”
Here‘s a little more on the celebration….
