After being the New York Rangers' unthreatened first goalkeeper for well over a decade, Henrik Lundqvist has been in and out of the team this season.
- He is a professional at his fingertips. An amazing man and athlete. A guy you want to fight side by side with. He has a bigger winner's head than anyone else I've ever met, says kreider after the match.
"Deserves a better performance from us"Henke started the two initial playoff games, when the season started again after a 143-day break. Russian Igor Sjestjorkin was back in the team last night and poked Henke when Rangers lost the third straight game and were knocked out of the playoffs.
- The goalkeeping game was the least of our problems. We scored four goals in three matches, you will not win a playoff series on that, says the head coach, David Quinn afterwards.
Chris Kreider has been a teammate with Henke since 2012. The tributes to Henke continued, in a way that makes one start to wonder if Henke has made his last match in the blue jersey.
- It has been an honor to get to know him, both the person and as a teammate. To see his daily work. I have the greatest respect for him, he gave everything all the time. He deserves a better performance from us.
