Two hundred and 63 goals against. That’s a lot of goals. Fourth-most allowed in the NHL in 2017-18. And if you take to heart what some people say on Twitter, they were all Henrik Lundqvist’s fault. The way the Hank haters see it, Lundqvist makes too much money against the salary cap, and he gave up too many bad goals.
But, you know, forget the fact that the Rangers’ defense was a mess all season, and at the end was made up of mostly players called up from the AHL.
And forget the fact that coach Alain Vigneault’s playing style often left the goaltenders to fend for themselves.
