A Tale Of Two Goalies In Game 7
Henrik Lundqvist isn’t supposed to lose Game 7. And to be fair, New York’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay last night was in no way Lundqvist’s fault. For two periods New York’s attack was ineffectual, and its defense allowed the Lightning to get off a number of quality shots. Lundqvist saved them all. Even t...
The Lightning Won't Be Stopped
The Lightning appear to own Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers goalie has now given up six goals in back-to-back games, and of six games this season in which he’s allowed five or more goals, the last four have come against Tampa Bay. This is not to suggest that the usually dependable Lundqvist has some p...
The Rangers Are Built To Just Get By
Again it came down to one game, one goal, and again the Rangers escaped by the skin of their teeth. When Derek Stepan slotted home a traffic-stopped puck that landed right at his feet, the Rangers had won their sixth consecutive Game 7, all in the last four seasons, tying an NHL record...
Henrik Stenson Goes Full Bo Jackson, Breaks Club Over His Knee
Henrik Stenson carded a six at Augusta National’s 15th during today’s second round of the Masters, thanks to a series of unfortunate events that included ricocheting a shot off the trunk of a tree. It so infuriated the Swede that he took his rage out on the responsible club....

The Kings Celebrate Stanley Cup Win Next To Devastated Henrik Lundqvist
The immediate aftermath of Alec Martinez's game-winning, double-overtime goal for the Stanley Cup on Friday night was a flash. Net, referee signals goal, and a Los Angeles mob around Martinez. It was great fun for the Kings, and absolute misery for the Rangers. Just look at all of these pictures of ...
The Stanley Cup Will Come Down To The Best Team Vs. The Best Player
The Rangers and Kings are in the Stanley Cup Final because of depth, since this is not basketball, where a small number of very good or great individual players can drag a team to postseason success. You need top-flight players to win championships in hockey, obviously, but just as necessary are low...
How Henrik Lundqvist Lugged The Rangers To The Finals
It wasn't so long ago that the Rangers were staring down death, rather than refusing to touch a trophy. Through three-quarters of the postseason, even after getting by the Canadiens with relative ease, they've had to play four elimination games: one against the Flyers, and three in a row against Pit...
Welcome To The Henrik Lundqvist Show
It's tough to recognize goalie greatness just by watching. That sounds dumb, but the nature of the job is that the best of the best announce themselves only over the long-term. Spectacular saves can be made by bad goalies on any given night, and the corollary, a lack of soft goals, by definition ind...
Henrik Lundqvist Comes Up With An Unreal Save To Prevent A Habs Goal
The Rangers are leading 1-0 in a potential final game of the series against the Canadiens, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist deserves thanks for his part with a tumbling save in the second period to keep Montreal scoreless....

Water bottles are the latest method of harassing opponents in the NHL, apparently....
Officials Sent The Wrong Sedin Twin To The Penalty Box
It's hard to blame the officials for occasionally losing track of things during last night's punchy 1-0 Kings win over Vancouver, a game that saw 109 total penalty minutes. It's extra-hard to blame them for penalizing Henrik Sedin for an infraction committed by Daniel Sedin—they look alike, and all....

Bandy goalkeeper Henrik Karlström was attacked by a bear Saturday during a hunting outing in Sweden's woods. Wait, what's bandy?...

Here's Henrik Lundqvist And His Doberman Sitting Down To A Meal
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist got suited up today to promote the team's upcoming Rangers Dog Walk. His dinner companion is Nova, a five-year-old Doberman that, according to this New York Times story from last year, pretty much gets her way around the house. There isn't anything about this photo th...
One Norwegian Runner Had An Unfortunate Uniform Malfunction During His Race
Poor Henrik Ingebrigtsen. He competed Tuesday in the 1,500-meter final and actually set a new Norwegian record with his fifth-place time, but all anyone is going to remember is that his shorts busted open and his jock was dangling out by the time he crossed the finish line....
That's Not A Boner, Says Boner Rower
Over the weekend, the American team took bronze in the men's coxless four rowing event. But at the medal ceremony, you could be forgiven for ignoring the first- and second-place teams, and indeed three-fourths of the U.S. team. Instead, all eyes were on Henrik Rummel. (Rummel and his penis are secon...
