Plenty of posters deserve to see what life without Lundqvist is like.

One more thing to thank McDonagh for this season. I know it wasnt intentional, but wow, McDonagh is batting 1.000 this season.
And I mean that honestly. He is, whether fans want to admit it, partly to blame for our number one goaltender being out come playoff push, in one of our biggest games of the years against the Bs.
McDonagh isn't to blame unless he did it intentionally, and he did not. Lets be real here man...
I've heard (am no expert) that goalie masks are also designed to deflect pucks away when hit in the front area like that, so you're not getting the full force of a shot on the mask. Richter got hit in the side of the head which isn't designed to handle that
At any rate, not good to hear what MacKenzie has to say but I guess we'll just have to wait and see
Maybe Skapski gets in the game at some point tonight and goes on to become the next Ken Dryden or Patrick Roy and leads us to the Stanley Cup.....nah ,LOL....that only happens with the Habs . Oh well....one can dream a little haha....hope Hank is OK and he is back after a couple of games .
i know. When will the rangers pick a goaltender that no expects a lot from, and then that said goaltender fills in one day that starts the path to becoming the franchise leader?
Gary Warwick, famous goalie mask maker, (he's done countless masks for NHL's and goalies everywhere, Ryan Miller, Nabokov, Turco, to name a few) told me when he was doing my mask that Richter's injury was directly due to the fact that his terrible Bauer mask was a stock shell that wasn't corrected moulded to his head, and had a severe lack of padding. It basically fit 'loose', so when the puck struck it, it actually caused a much more significant impact with his skull, than it would have if it fit tight with thick foam (like all current masks do)
Gary was the one who made Richter's new mask when he attempted his come back, but once he took the knee to the head and got another concussion, he knew that was it.
If Richter had a mask that fit properly, and was padded correctly, he would have played many more years. Crazy to think.
Lundqvist has been suffering “intermittent” headaches since Saturday but they are not concussion related. (NY Post)
I get headaches fairly often, then again I probably do have something seriously wrong with me, or I'm just a Rangers fan.
Ok now im in full panic mode. Head Aches? They can try and sugar coat it ALL they want but you dont get ****ing head aches unless you have a concussion or something seriously wrong. This day to day injury could quickly turn into week to week.
My goodness larry brooks going into panic mode implying sather may look into trading for addition Veteran goalie help possibly using jt miller as trade bait ! In no way do I want to see that happen unless hank is out for the year
Richter wasn't hit on the side of the head.
The puck took a nice chunk of paint off lady liberty on his mask.
