Can't say it's a bad move, with Raanta being highly motivated to beat the guy who took his job in Chicago, and also riding a 150m+ shutout streak. There's still plenty of games for Lundqvist to play.

Oh I know, I'm just enjoying the drummed up controversy over it. Hank has been Not Good so far so I'm glad this is happening.

oh yeah I love the people saying "AV COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS CONTROVERSY BY JUST STARTING LUNDQVIST!" and I'm thinking I doubt AV feels there's any controversy at all and probably isn't wrapped up in the internet game of hand wringing.

Yeah, there's no controversy outside of the bloggers need to post something daily. Would be nice if they could hype up the shutout streak and how well the Rangers have been playing, but I guess hand-wringing gets more clicks than talking about how they've won more games than any other team in the league.

I wouldn't say anyone "held him back" from fighting but considering the site that posted it I guess it's a totally predictable headline.

It was a pretty lovely slash too.

He subbed on a different team recently and was supposedly pretty chill:

The controversy is that Henrik Lundqvist is getting to the age where goaltenders start to decline hard and he will be making $8.5M against the cap for several more years. He'll likely still be an above average goalie for a year or two but his best years are almost surely behind him and he will be an anchor on the team's cap soon enough.

At least this is what I hope happens.

He said he'd changed and had looked within at his past misdoings when he was introduced in Columbus, especially when he mentioned he thought he'd never get an NHL job again. Then "good performances=no practices", no morning skates, "the D-to-D pass is obsolete" have all come since...
