New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev wrote a nice tribute to Henrik Lundqvist and Marc Staal on Thursday following a hectic week that saw the two long time players no longer with the hockey team.
Staal was traded to Detroit last week and Lundqvist was bought out by the club on Wednesday.
In his comments via his Instagram account, Georgiev said of the Lundqvist, “What an absolute honor it has been being Hank’s goalie partner! Seeing that drive and competitiveness every day pushes everyone to be better. ”
With regards to Staal, Georgiev wrote, “Staalsy was a Warrior for us doing everything to help the team win!
