One of the most hurtful things as a Ranger fan is seeing this man never win a cup. Alex Oveichkin and Henrik Lundqvist were the two hockey players you knew deserved the cup the most. Alex Oveichkin got his cup but not Hank. Henrik is on my mount rushmore for NHL goalies.

What a perfect interview....and sentiments expressed by Henrik. He's represented the city with such grace, class and humility. Long Live the King!

@@PhillyLeotardo25 honestly, I love Henrik but letting him go was the right move. Georgiev was looking great at that time, and Shesterkin showed flashes. Now Shesty is having a Vezina caliber season. I didn’t like Gorton (especially since seeing what a great job Drury has done so far) but letting Henrik go, as much as if hurt, was the right move.
I met him years ago. Such a nice man. Wish he could have ended on his terms, but he had a great career.

I’m a capitals fan Was gutted when Lundqvist couldn’t have played for them last season- So happy they are retiring his number- well deserved
I was at the game when he took the crown for most wins by a European goalie, and that, as well as countless other iconic Hank moments will always be special to me as an NYR fan. Much love!👑🐐
I've seen Henrik play since he was in the juniors. When he then started playing in the first team and was lost to us in Sweden I knew that he would get to experience something like the jersey in the roof when he retired. Amazing player! One of the best goalies ever and a very humble and classy guy...
Such an great guy and a great ambassador for Sweden and for hockey. Swedish pride ❤️
A true Athlete with discipline, humbleness & class,...A Inspiration to be proud of & follow as remodel both as sportsman but also in fashion because he's always so fashionable....The Myth, Legend & King of New York...
What an amazing career this fellow swede has had, absolutely remarkable! There have been (and there still are) many successful Swedish outfield players in the NHL, but only a few goalies. Our Henke has now become a proud member of a group of Swedish goalkeepers who have made it over there 👏
THE KING! He deserved a cup. what a class act all around
This folks... is how a humble, stylish, wise and kind man looks. You are a legend Henrik. Välkommen hem igen 💛💙
i wish he could’ve won a cup with the rangers, but i’m glad to hear he’s happy and healthy. tomorrow’s gonna be emotional, but i’m excited for him and for what’s to come ❤️💙

I had open hear surgery a few month ago for the exact same issue as Henrik, leaky valve and my aorta got too big. I'm glad he has the surgery before anything happened to him. sadly I didn't know and went into cardiac arrest at the gym.
He deserves it, not only being an amazing goalie. He surely has represented Rangers, NY and Sweden.
Hes the reason I'm a rangers fan. Hell he's the reason I got into hockey at all! Absolutely incredible player, glad I saw him in person before covid. King Henrik!

I feel the same way about Marc-Andre Fleury. He’s the sole reason why I became a hockey fan. My husband tried for over 15 yrs to get me to watch hockey. I wasn’t interested. And then we went to Vegas, and we’re fortunate enough to be invited by a casino CEO to be guests of his suite at T Mobile Arena for a VGK game against Winnipeg. Once I saw Flower play-and experienced the excitement of an NHL game that only the city of Vegas could bring with their amazing production capabilities-I was hooked for life! I adore Henrik in every way. I love seeing him on TNT’s NHL show.
The King ! well deserved hank. we miss you
Henrik. Such a great guy!
Deserves it, always have them a chance to win
pure pleasure watching him play.
KING!
Being from a town thats about an hours drive from where Henrik is from it’s pretty surreal what he’s accomplished. It’s one thing if youre like the Skarsgård family or Greta Thunberg who are all from Stockholm but being from a place like Åre and becoming a legend in something is pretty freaking impressive. Things like that just doesnt happen to people here, although alot of us are highly ambitious and great at what we do.
My hero! Polite, talented and so humble...
One of the best to ever put on the pads. Shame rangers couldn’t get him a cup because he def deserved it.
Jimmy and Hank. Who at the Tonight Show read my diary 😍😍😍
Now that’s a fine man with a great style😊
A living LEGEND!
He is truly one of the best to ever done it. Legend! And this coming from fellow neighbor, the "enemy from east" :P Fin. My hats of to him. So deserved. Imagine getting your name to MSG roof.. very, VERY few people.

I'm always amazed at how well people from Sweden can speak and barely seem to have an accent.

You really, really shouldn’t be. It’s an extremely similar language (maybe not obvious at a glance but nevertheless true), including the pronunciation, and we prioritize learning it from an early age since we’re a small country. If English speakers spent as much time and energy learning, say, German as we do learning English, and 90% of their entertainment was in German, nothing was dubbed, and most of the textbooks in college programs were in German, they would all be fluent in German by age 13. And if they then lived in Germany for more than a decade they probably wouldn’t have much of an accent. That would just be normal at that point. There are people with totally unrelated first languages who have pulled off sounding near native in much shorter time and with far less of a head start than what literally every single Swede gets with English. And what I say about Swedes is also true for Dutch people, Norwegians, Danes, Icelanders, Faroese and to a lesser extent Germans, so it’s nothing unique.

I've never really thought of Henke as a legend, but I went to quanthockey to see how he ranks stats-wise and damn! 6th all time in wins, and among the top20 goalies in wins he's 3rd in Save% (after Hasek & Luongo) and tied for 4th in GAA (After Hasek, Brodeur and Jaques Plante). Even without a cup (which IMO is overrated when it comes to judging individual skill) he's going to the HHoF.
