Henrik Lundqvist and Rick Nash dominate New York Rangers board room -NHL Update
Many have seen what happened to Tim Thomas after the veteran goalie single handily led Boston Bruins to their first Stanley Cup championship after 40 years in 2011 and for New York Rangers, which is definitely something harsh to think about when talking in regards to Henrik Lundqvist.
What has the team’s general manager and coach at easy is the fact that Henrik Lundqvist did not lead New York Rangers to a Stanley Cup championship and according to many analysts, he may not be able to as well, but the team is confident in their goalies abilities.
The biggest reason why New York may be assured of Henrik Lundqvist’s performance is his seven seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). Now at the age of 30, the veteran goalie is still capable of performing like he did years ago and definitely proved that last season.
In 62 games playing in during the previous season, Lundqvist put up a .930 save percentage along with an amazing goals-against average with 1.97, surprisingly, all statistics were his career best, signalling the fact that New York Rangers just might be beginning to see the best of Lundqvist.
Drafted as the 205th overall player back in round-seven on the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by New York Rangers, Lundqvist is currently leading the team and genuinely has the leadership qualities within in.
Next season is definitely one the New York Rangers are looking forward to as the franchise is working towards not only getting into the top slot of the Eastern Conference again, but not only that, actually coming out big with a Stanley Cup championship as well.
The addition of former Columbus Blue Jackets captain, Rick Nash, will also definitely make a desirable effect on the staff as Chris Kreider is certainly going to perform in his first regular season game in the NHL after having one of the best postseasons of his career.
What New York Rangers need to do is harness all that talent and learn how that it may be beneficial to the club in the longer run, especially when talking about a Stanley Cup.
