They’ve called him the “King” for over a decade now, but a sad reality is coming our way with Henrik Lundqvist’s reign as netminder for the New York Rangers now coming to a close. I am not saying he is going to hang up his skates next season or the year after that, but the point is that as Lundqvist nears the age of 34, there is more sand sitting in the bottom of the hourglass than the top.
The Rangers have had a long 90 year history which may not include a ton of Stanley Cup banners, but they do boast a rich history of strong goaltending that rivals any franchise across the league.
