Who Wrote Tuukka Rask?

Title is a parody of "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" by Green Day.

This is a story of a goalie. He played for the Boston Bruins for fifteen years, and his name is Tuukka Rask. He was one of the best goaltenders in the NHL throughout his career and put up amazing stats every single year.

I want you to step outside this reality, where he has a wife and kids just like most other former NHLers, and imagine a reality where he found a different girl. He loved her, and he did so with every ounce of his being.

One day, this girl named Anja left for her and Tuukka's home country of Finland, never to return.

What happened? Where has Anja gone? Who is Sinikka Päivi Heikkenen?

And will Tuukka ever find the courage to love again?

This story is inspired by the lyrics of several Green Day songs. Chapter lengths are based on the length of the song they are written around. Also, the song lyrics are usually taken out of their original context in order to better fit Tuukka, Anja, and Sinikka's story.

Personal names in the songs are occasionally changed to fit the names of the characters in the story.

Marked mature for language and mentions of terminal illness and death.
