Long- time Ranger fan here of 45 years.
Love the Rangers but I'm distraught.
I have come to an epiphany of sorts and it's really quite easy to see for any knowledgeable hockey fan.
Henrique Lundquist is not a playoff goalie and never will be.
Multiple aspects of his play make this obvious.
He does not have the temperament for playoff hockey.
How so? He isn't mean enough, he is docile in the crease and this also plays into his style of goaltending. With this lack of physicality he has no chance to clear the crease and see shots in playoff hockey which is a battle of wills and big bodies in front of the net.
Billy Smith or Patrick Roy did not allow themselves to be screened constantly they were doing whatever it took to see the play and puck clearly. The King does none of this.
He is always vulnerable because he plays so deep in the net.
His style is a loser in this era where often the more physical team wins a long series.
I lol to myself thinking of him defending against the Bruins.
His style of play, lack of physicality, lack of meanness all work against him.
Also as we know he is not good playing outside the crease... This also makes it hard for him to clear the crease and stay in position if he whacks a guy or two.
Rangers will never win a Cup with him in net.
