It’s Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final in 2014. The New York Rangers have a 3-1 series lead moving into the Bell Centre in Montreal and can close out the series to clinch a trip to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1994. Except,

The Traverse City Prospect Tournament is the unofficial start of training camp for the Rangers. It’s important to not over analyze what are effectively competitive scrimmages. Teams are using very basic systems and putting six guys on the ice who barely know each other. Nonetheless, it’s a good

By virtue of consistently being one of the best goalies in the NHL since entering the league in 2005, Henrik Lundqvist is no stranger to making highlight reel saves. The save against Thomas Vanek during the 2014 playoffs that arguably saved New York’s season is one that comes to

The 2006 Winter Olympic hockey tournament was...weird. It was such a weird time for hockey as a whole since the NHL was just coming back from a season killing lockout and popularity had cratered in North America. Canada and the United States finished in 7th and 8th place respectively.

Brady Skjei’s strong rookie season inspired confidence in the New York Rangers’ defensive future. Although limited to a third-pair role, the 23-year-old defenseman made his presence known throughout the regular season and the postseason. The former first-round pick of the Rangers is in the final

Previously on 30 Days of Lundqvist we talked about Hank’s first career win, that time Henrik went postal on a goal net, and the comeback against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2014 ECSF. It’s been a fun series so far and now I want to talk about what

Clearly we're not going in chronological order. But that's kind of fun, right? No? Too bad. Perhaps the most surprising thing about Henrik Lundqvist hurling his net was that it didn't happen sooner. (Second most surprising? He didn't aim it at Dan
