Injury Report: Henrik Lundqvist

[eyedoc]

possible corneal abrasion. Cloudy vision. Will wear a patch while resting to let eye heal.

Or a bandage contact lens (which is a better option)

 

[LeetchisGod]

Doesn't really matter what they did in the regular season, because after so many long years they stopped trying their best until the playoffs. That's a far cry from being 100% confident though, I think the Rangers odds of beating the Penguins in 7 is around 50-50. The defense and the coaching are major problems

I don't buy it. We are not the Kings. No other team has shown the ability to flip a switch like them.

I would Bolieve in Raanta if and only if the $7m+ club started scoring some damn goals.

The 7 million dollar club vs the 3rd string goalie. Part 2 Saturday.

Worrying. But I like our chances against Zatkoff regardless. He is simply put, mediocre, and we should be able to solve him. Raanta or Henrik's play will NOT be the downfall of the Rangers 2015-16. Goaltending rarely is our problem these days..

Who says Zatkoff even gets another start? Last night was the opportunity to get an early jump in the series and the Rangers blew chunks.

Thanks Marc Staal. Signed fans of 29 other teams.

Why would any other fans say that? Don't they know pretty much any goalie can fit in now for possession and such?

Geeze. talk about doom and gloom around here. You would think the Rangers are going for a lottery pick or something. (This place might actually be sunshine and rainbows if that were the case actually)

I thought the Rangers played better than the Pens through 60 minutes of Game 1, but they couldn't get shots through the maze of Penguins as they collapsed to protect Jagoff. Give them credit. But its 1 game for crying out loud (why does someone always have to say this?)

As far as Hank goes he was doing just fine before the injury. And even if he's out, Raanta and the Rangers team can definitely put together a win or two until Henrik returns. Hell, they could win the series with Raanta in net. He's a capable goalie.

I'll be the first to tell you that im not expecting a cup run with this team but Ill never give up and say its impossible. I feel like they could lose this series in 5 or 6 or win it in 5 or 6. Let it play out. If you want to give up fine, don't watch then!

Its almost cruel that this group, who is quite clearly getting one more run (a longshot one at that to begin with) gets injuries to their 2 best players right as the playoffs start.

Unless we get bounced in this round before McDonagh and Hank can come back, and the FO chalks it up to injuries at a bad time, and it's more of the same next season...

That was a somewhat valid excuse last season after a president's trophy and game 7 of the ECF.

This season? Not so much.

Very cruel. I mean take anyone else honestly . By far the two most important players on this team. I guess losing a stepan or brass would be huge but not as huge as those two especially against a Pitt team that's scored 4 goals or more in something like 11 of their past 15 games

 

[StateOfHexcellence]

coming in peace. King's injury is very reminiscent of how Bernie Parent had to retire due to a similar injury to his eye. He got the stick blade through the eye hole. Henrik's cat eye cage holes look a bit larger than the standard norm of those cages. I wish and hope Henrik recovers and is ok and can continue. That play sure looked scary from seeing it on TV.

I thought of this last night as well but with Parent, I think it was Don Maloney's stick that clipped the eye of Parent. That was due mostly to the old mask that Parent was wearing. It sounds like it wasn't as bad for HL but eye injuries are very scary.

Sometimes I think that some of these "Ranger fans" would be happier rooting for Edmonton or another team that hasn't sniffed the playoffs in six years that has some "young budding superstar" who scores 13 goals a season, but is puffed up by the clueless sunshine broadcast crew on their local Fox Sports channel when they get five minutes on the XM hockey channel.

If this site existed in 2000 Pavel Brendl would have been hailed as the second coming of Gretzky and Gordie Howe combined.

Some of these folks have no idea what 1998 through 2004 was like and think that everyone can just tank a season and next thing you know Crosby, Malkin, and Fleury show up on your roster.

 

[bubba5]

I was around and around way before it. They Rangers did it all wrong then. They were bad but never bad enough. They never tanked, they were just bad. If they had done the tanking thing maybe we would have gotten a few stars in those drafts.

Parent's injury was WAY worse than Lundqvist's. Can't even compare the two.

I've been a fan since the early 90s...I'm aware of the decade of darkness...this isn't nearly as bad...but still, I go into every game expecting the team to lose and being surprised when they win...it hasn't been that way in a long time...last few years it was just the opposite.
