On a day when literally nothing happened in the Tampa Bay Lightning organization, we will celebrate the spectacular career of Henrik Lundqvist, who announced his retirement on Friday.
Last year, after signing a one-year deal with the Washington Capitals, the Swedish goaltender announced that he would miss the 2020-21 NHL season due to a heart condition. He then underwent open-heart surgery in last January, which eventually led to his retirement. Slightly after Lundqvist’ statement was released, the New York Rangers — the team he played the whole NHL career for — announced that they will retire Lundqvist's jersey and raise his number to the rafters at the Madison Square Garden.
