Henrik Lundqvist says he’ll work for Rangers after retirement

[HFBS]

Great to hear this. He will always be a Ranger as far as I am concerned. Hope he wins a Cup; guy deserves it.

I wonder how he would feel if the Caps won the Cup while he was sitting on the bench and contributed little or nothing on the ice. That doesn't go for just him. One of the people I feel sorry for is Steve Janaszak, the backup goalie on the 1980 Lace Placid Olympic Team. Yes, he got a gold medal, but didn't play for 1 second in the Olympics.

If they win the Cup, I think he'll be happy. Unless he loses every game he plays in, he'll have contributed in at least some small way to his team winning the Cup. I also would not be at all surprised to see Ovi bring him the Cup as soon as its handed over.

I think he will play 20-25 games or 1/4 or 1/3 of whatever amount of games will be played unless Samsonov gets hurt.

Lundqvist has become the chick that you break up with that just won't go away. Now he is quickly becoming the crazy chick you have to get a restraining order against because he has this revenge fantasy in his head that he is going to play so well in DC and as a visitor at MSG that we are going to beg him to come back.

It's over dude! GO AWAY! We don't want you anymore!

...wut

 

[Rangerfans]

Then why not just retire?

Call me one of "those" fans, but galavanting around DC on his social media that has been more active in the past month than in his entire 15 year career with the team, and glory hunting with Washington for one more run at a Cup and for one more paycheck rubs me the wrong way if that was the plan all along.

He can clean the toilets in the blue seats and earn his way upwards, if he wants.

Because he wants to play? He absolutely has earned to do whatever he chooses.

“And after 16 years ... Henrik Lundqvist!” Where’s Gary Thorne when you need him?

...and I'm not talking about Lundqvist

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Capitals legend Henrik Lundqvist.

I hope he gets his cup with WAS and brings it to his jersey night. Then gets hired as our goalie coach after Allaire retires and wins a few as a coach.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

will he make a good goalie coach?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I don't think we need to worry about Hank winning a cup this season, Washington isn't a true contender IMO.

are you that crazy chick?

 

[Avery16]

You're damn right I'm bitter. It's the same as Brodeur playing for the Blues before retiring. It tarnished his legacy, IMO.

Some would say it tarnished the Blues, but maybe just those who are fans of both the Rangers and Blues.

they might trade him at the deadline to a contender, and then we should all start worrying.

Obviously not. I'm the one who always has to change my locks, change my routine, and get a restraining order.

If Hank wins a cup as a back up so be it. It's a hollow victory for him at best. Every time he looks down at the ring on his finger he will know in the back of his mind that he was just a pedestrian watching as the championship train went by and he was able to grasp the rail on the last car to be a hanger-on. Good for him, I guess. A one dimensional championship for a one dimensional person that was a one-trick pony is net.

I'm sure he was traumatized for life by winning an Olympic gold medal and getting to know his future wife while doing so.

Sounds like somebody's projecting

 

[blue425]

And in announcements that surprise no one; )

Seriously let him try for his cup, it was a no brainer he would work for the Rangers after he retired.

Fortunately for us, his one trick was being the best goalie of his generation.

This is the worst post I've read in a long time. Congratulations.

Yeah, all he did was save pucks. Yawn.

And wow, have there been some doozies in the last 9 months.

Clearly it's you. Hank is welcome back here, Caps cup or no Caps cup. If he gets a ring as a backup, yeah maybe a little hollow but your bat-s#** crazy thinking he'd rather have no cup ring that a slightly or less earned cup ring. "Projecting" seems accurate.
