SECAUCUS, N.J. — Would Kevin Weekes have been surprised back in 2005-06 if someone told him that more than a decade later the guy who replaced him in net for the Rangers still would be at it?
In a word: No.
“Listen, he was a rock star instantly, on and off the ice,” Weekes, now an NHL Network analyst, said of Henrik Lundqvist before appearing on the pregame show Wednesday before the Capitals played the Penguins.
“He’s had an unreal career. He works so hard. I think a lot of people undersell him just based on his look and based on his fashion and everything else.
