Good catch, I misinterpreted it while watching it live. However, the masks are all here because at the end of every episode (this part was all shot at once) when he takes the mask out of the box and puts it on, he's at the MSG training facility in Tarrytown.
Sounds like it could have been a slip of the tongue in knowing he'll be back playing (and wearing) the masks in about a week from now.

he's on right now. honestly breaks my heart to see him on morning time television and not on the road with the boys.
I think all the guys are back in NY today cause the Casino night was supposed to be tonight

No, we are going all in this season. Without Hank, this great season will have been all for nothing.
I am sure that when he comes back it's because he is 100%. This isn't just a broken hand or something.. He isn't going to risk his life to come back early.

Once again, he never said that. the quote is "When they (the masks) come back in a week or so, I'm going to hopefully starting wearing them, when I come back to playing"

I can't claim credit for uploading, just found the link! But you're welcome!
If someone has a link to the Mask shows that would be awesome
Which makes zero sense since all the masks are already here. I think it was a slip of the tongue. He knows he's not supposed to say anything until the Dr's give the official clearance, but he knows he's close.
Either way, he's in the 4th week since the diagnosis, and the original diagnosis was 4-6 weeks. He should be back very soon.

Quattro!!
I explained above why that makes no sense. At the end of every episode of the mask, he tries on the helmet and walks out toward the ice at the MSG training center here in Tarrytown, NY
Over the past three episodes, you can tell that they shot all of these mask sequences at one time. So he had all the masks delivered before they shot this scene.
Weird...

I believe it was misinterpreted, it sounded like he said when the masks get here in a week or so then hopefully he can wear them when he comes back.
I believe the week was referring to when the masks will get delivered, I guess they're all in sweden with the artist still.
Hmm, I haven't seen the episdoes yet, they're on the DVR. It does sound like he meant the masks being delivered though, but that makes no sense if he already has them and wore them in the episodes.
Nevesis btw, are you on Long Island? I filled in in net for a buddy's team the other night and the goalie on the other team had the sickest set up, he had a full Mike Richter set. Bauer reactor pads, gloves, blocker, Rangers hockey pants and even a statue of liberty helmet. Wondering if you've seen him around.
Yeah, check out the ends of the episodes, he's in the locker room at the MSG training center, and he acts out opening the box from daveart, reads a letter from him and then observes the mask. After that, he's in full equipment, has the mask on and walks out of the locker room. You can tell (at least in the first three episodes) that all of them were shot at once, which means the masks are all here.
Either way, he should be back in a week or two at the most. It won't be long now.
Close by, I live in Westchester county, right above the city. Funny you mention that Richter kid, I did a goalie clinic last year around this time at Iceworks (where the Islanders practice) with two guys who had full Richter setups. You can see them in the front row, next to each other. Either of them look familiar?

Hmm no I don't think so. This guy was literally wearing Reactor pads, his setup was identical to this:
This exact gear! Pads were a bit bigger and looked brand new which was weird. They looked sick nonetheless.
Damn, that means there's at least 3 people out there wearing Richter gear! I need to step my game up lol. I'm wearing Vapor XXX full set, which I wore in juniors before I went to college, so they're from 07-08. My college team us goalies got free gear, but were not allowed to keep pads, gloves or blockers. They had some sort of rebate thing set up with the suppliers, which is a joke, I beat the hell out of that gear, not sure what use Bauer is going to get out of it.
Was just thinking about how Lundqvist's injury is somewhat fortuitous (obviously disregarding its effect on his health). Assuming he does come back, with enough time to round back into shape, how great is it that the Rangers best player comes in as the freshest at the start of the postseason. Guys like Holtby and Price are going to around 65 games at the start of the postseason. Halek is having close to his longest season as a professional right now. Given that it's not a mobility injury but a general health one, I think really could be a break for the Rangers.
It's a HUGE advantage.
If they were to go as deep as last year, the time he's had to rest right now will pay dividends later when he has that extra physical/mental energy.
After the Kings series he mentioned that he had nothing left to give. The entire Kings team said the same thing. If it went anymore games, they didn't think they would be able to perform at the level they needed to win. A long season + long playoffs can do that to players/teams.
That all being said, if we were to get as far, or go all the way i would say that this injury was, in hindsight, a blessing in disguise.
I pray to the hockey gods that we do go all the way.
It's only a blessing in disguise if he comes back healthy and ready to play 100% and get back into things quickly
Hope you're right. One would think that's the case albeit still feel he needs at least 5-8 games before the playoffs start to possibly get back in rhythm especially with probably no easy rounds at all these upcoming playoffs
This is sugar coating to me. Trying to find a silver lining.
Lets just make sure he gets back and is in top form first.

RIP, Jimmy.
The more I think about it the more I agree with this. What happens when Lundqvist comes back and is in his October form? It won't matter if he is rested or not if we don't make it out of the first round.
Something that many people forget is how absolutely horrid the team defense was in front of him in October.
Kostka, Hunwick, Allen, McIlrath!
Many got on him personally, but he wasn't playing nearly as bad as most people think. The team was giving up tons of high percentage scoring chances, odd man rushes, breakaways all over the ice. Once the defense got back to strength and the team started playing better, his statistics improved overall.
The defense now is possibly the best in the league. Not to mention the rest of the team in front of him is firing on all cylinders. Him coming back should only make them that much better of a team.
