In an alternate universe, Glen Sather (@FiveRingsSlats) is impugning Henrik Lundqvist’s character yet again on Twitter, hoping this latest personal attack might be the tipping point in the club president’s campaign to convince the Rangers’ franchise goaltender to waive his no-move clause and accept a trade out of New York.
There is a report from Sweden that Lundqvist’s fellow countrymen, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, are urging their Canucks to deal for Lundqvist even at the cost of 21-year-old burgeoning star center Bo Horvat.
Lundqvist schedules his fourth meeting of the season with Sather, after which the King says he and his wife love New York as much as ever, and just hours before which he is pulled for the seventh time in a stretch of 10 games, nine of which the Rangers have lost as the club appears headed for yet another playoff miss.
