As one of the best goalies in the league in 2013-14, Tuukka Rask is one of the finalists for the Vezina Trophy. When asked about the award and the fact his teammate Patrice Bergeron is up for the Selke, Rask appeared to have no idea what the awards were called.
Tuukka: "I’m [up] for the goalie award, and Bergy's [up] for whatever that award is."

He’s 100% correct, but he certainly used simple terms. When asked additional questions, such as what being a finalist means, he again summed things up with some incredibly basic explanations.
More Tuukka on the awards: "It means that we have a good goaltender, one defenseman and a good forward.” So, uh, sorry rest of the Bruins.

Again, correct, but it’s hilarious he never mentions the words “Vezina” or “Selke” in his interview. Maybe Rask is just enjoying himself a bit too much in Vegas.
Tuukka followed all that up by answering another question with, "It's always Saturday in Vegas." So maybe that explains things.
