Watching this now after him having announced his retirement. Henrik had a legendary career and will be hall of fame bound soon enough. As a Ranger fan it has been a privilege to watch his entire career. I'll be watching when his jersey number goes up to the rafters at MSG. I don't know if it's too late now but the Rangers should sign him to a one day contract so that he can officially retire as a Ranger.
- Would love to see this guy win a Stanley Cup before his career is concluded; has had numerous chances getting into the playoffs. Class act all the way, too. :)
+Daniel Sanderson. People don't hate the King. I'm a Caps fan and despise the Rangers almost as much as I hate the Pens. It's hard to hate Lundqvist just like it's hard to hate Malkin. I hate the uniform they wear. There are players I hate(Crosby, Fleury, Nash) but I hate them because of their attitudes on and off the ice not their success playing for a rival team. My prediction for the current Pens-Caps series is the Caps win game 6 in Pittsburgh and lose game 7 at home by five goals. If you meet an optimistic Caps fan they haven't been a Capitals fan very long.
And winning the Cup or any championship in any sport is a TEAM effort. You could be the best hockey player in the world. If your team doesn't Perform then you won't win.
Goalies rarely get drafted early. He didn't really break onto the scene until the 2006 Winter Olympics when he backstopped Sweden to the gold medal. That was when he took the starting job from Kevin Weekes.
I think the most saddest thing is dipetro was 1st overall and was a injury and concussion prone goalie who was bought out and said to be a major draft bust
i remember back in 2001-2005, i was 7-12 years old and Frölunda HC was my favorite team, they had both the twins but i was totally sold on this goalie, he quickly became my favorite player, he made Frölunda HC just as great as he did with the NYR. Good old times.
I'm an Islanders fan, but I will never have anything but respect for this guy. Hands down the greatest goalie of this generation. I hope he wins a cup, just not with the Rangers
As a Rangers fan, born and raised it makes me sad that Hank has worked so hard especially in the psat 5ish years to lift lord Stanley. Him not having a cup shouldnt mean he isnt "good enough" because Ive had the privilege to watch him hold down the fort for so long now. I think both him and the Rangers know the clock is ticking. Lets beat Ottowa, then beat Caps/ Pens and win it all. The king needs his crown :)
Even today the fact he wasn't taken earlier amazes me. 7th Round, 205th overall, taken by the Rangers brass simply because they needed a goalie and the "Well he's the no.1 in europe should we take him? What they hell sure?" Goes on to be the best Rangers goalie of all time record wise, bet they didn't see that coming when they drafted him :P
When he finishes his career he will go down as one of the greatest goaltenders/players in New York Rangers history and one of the greatest goalies in NHL history
This is easy the scouts in NHL has blinders on when it comes to Europe, they just see the most obvious players and miss alot. Henrik Lundqvist played really well the two seasons up to the draft and did solid U17/U18 apperences and was a big talent. And seeing how alot of NHL teams at this point had several strong goalkeepers around born around mid 60's it feels strange such a huge talent went so late.
Hooded they said that about Ottawa in the grey cup, Patriots super bowl comeback, Jets beating the Colts and many other upsets. Also If Sid gets hit again, Fleury and Murray miss extended time I think the pens don't have a chance
Lundqvist is perfection, as a player, as a human and please don't forget about that hair.... in MSG they call him king, in sweden we call him a legend!
Hockey is really a battle of goaltenders, with relatively even teams, at a high level. Especially come playoff time. It's least 80% how well the goalie plays, and at most 20% how the skaters actually play.
This is primarily because goaltending when played properly is absolutely dominant over players trying to score, no matter how amazing a shot or deke they have. This is only not true when considering plays with multiple players and passes across the ice, but even those are relatively easily stopped when the play is read properly.
I'll never forget his first season. He was the Rangers and unfortunately hes at the end of his career on a rebuilding team looking to the future but their will never be a greater NY Ranger. Hail the King
Die hard rangers fan, they need to trade him to a top team so he can at least have a shot at it again. Ray bourque did what he needed to do to win. Lundqvist needs to do the same.

love this guy, go win that stanley cup Henrik!

ckendall67 I would love to see it too, but would hate to see the Rangers win it lol
as a Pens fan. I'd love to see him hoist the cup just one time! he's hated cuz he's great. good reason to have haters if you ask me
Daniel Sanderson He's not hated.

The amount of positive comments in this video make me so happy
Yes, an incredibly talented goalie - a legend! But wow is he stunningly beautiful. He also carries himself like a gentleman
Such an underrated goalie. He is by far, the most consistent goalie in the modern hockey era. HOF for sure!
Now everyone in sweden recognizes him as the hair guy
Shampoo
Those who don't watch hockey at least
@@1521Palm Have you not seen the head&shoulders commercial. People know him from the shampoo commercials, and only that.
lol cuz its true, next up, toothpaste^^
Wym only that?
Amazing goalie, theres a reason why we call him Henrik Lundqvist - The King
The King of Choke
It's because of his name, Henrik, that is associated with royalty in Sweden.
@@azynkron No its not, maybe in england. Sweden have never had a king Henric.
@@TzOn79 The last 500 years we've only had kings named Carl, Gustav, Gustav-Adolf, Frederick, Adolf Fredrik, John, Oscar,
@@TzOn79 I didn't say Sweden had a king named that. The name is connected to royalty. That's all I said.
what a great player
True
What are you talking about??? He is still a fantastic goaltender...
someone's salty XD
Henry Goodrich of course you would say that you're a devs fan. When the rangers were eliminated Hank had the 2nd best sv% of the playoffs
And winning the Cup or any championship in any sport is a TEAM effort. You could be the best hockey player in the world. If your team doesn't Perform then you won't win.
And now he finally reached the gold medal for team Sweden against Canada !!. RESPECT!!
The king
im proud of him because he got draft 205th overall but now hes one of the best goaltender
Henrik great things are coming your way. Thank you for being my favorite Ranger of all time ❤️
how in the hell is the top ranked european goalie not taken until the 7th round? ranger fan here so im not complaining but still

TIM HONKS same reason Datsyuk and zetterberg weren't first rounders because scouting used to be crap
never stopmilk it still is
Pekka Rinne was 8th round
I think the most saddest thing is dipetro was 1st overall and was a injury and concussion prone goalie who was bought out and said to be a major draft bust

Love him
Hate him all you want, you cannot deny this man DESERVES a cup.
Kyzeebomb 61 who hates him?
never stopmilk a lot of people do for some reason ,, idk why lol but u can't deny that he's awesome and that he deserves the cup
Kyzeebomb 61 I’m a Bruins fan, but I somehow like Henrik!!!
@@neverstopmilk3873 facts
Braden Holtby has more cups than Henrik Lundqvist ever will.
He deserves a cup
Coming from a Habs fan
Ya he really does As well a Habs fan
Agreed. And so does Carey Price.
Coming from a Red Wings fan
SloppyBagett Lundqvist is getting close to the end Price has a lot of years to come
Wtf is habs
Oh Montreal
I'm an Islanders fan, but I will never have anything but respect for this guy. Hands down the greatest goalie of this generation. I hope he wins a cup, just not with the Rangers
I don't think the Rangers will let him go before his retirement. I think he will stay with the Rangers until the end.

ItsCola just like rinne
Juraj Husek sorry caps already took it bud
My son and even my daughter will be named after him !!!!
Selwyn NYR I feel bad for your future daughter
Well if we’re naming our children after famous people then I’m naming my son miroslav Satan
boston vs. new York
@@neverstopmilk3873 What if his daughter turns out to be trans? Wouldn't Henrik be a good name for a man?
@@HeadGodoftheGodCouncil Henrika is a girl's name so he could name her that.
A great goalie, nothing but respect for him. It'd be awesome if you did this for Pekka Rinne, another late draft pick
henrik lundqvist is my favorite
Picked on the same draft as Dipietro, lol thats hilarious
Joseph B. Lol it is. They picked DiPietro first overall but the better goalie was picked in the 7th round.
the islanders picked dipietro and the rangers picked lundqvist
Oh No woah woah woah, hold on, the only reason why the team was not doing well was cause of milbury and his stupid decisions
YESSSS!😭😭 LETS GO RANGERS!!!
Just an amazing person and goalie.
This made me cry
Class act
Henrik, will one day, raise the cup!
I would give anything to see him win a cup
lundquvist was my favorite ranger
Even today the fact he wasn't taken earlier amazes me. 7th Round, 205th overall, taken by the Rangers brass simply because they needed a goalie and the "Well he's the no.1 in europe should we take him? What they hell sure?" Goes on to be the best Rangers goalie of all time record wise, bet they didn't see that coming when they drafted him :P
Wouldn't mind if he got a cup this year by any means!
Best goalie in Europe ? Lets pick him in 7th round WTF ?
Peter Časnocha Rinne is best goalie in europe
+ugandan knuckles Not in the year 2000
@@juusosaarikko3894 Not then, not now. Lundqvist has been the better one.
Im a pens fan and i love this guy
A living proof that gold can be found in places you would've never guessed. It's an awesome story for sure.
the stars could have had him. One of the teams with the worst goaltending could have had Lundqvist
He was a 7th round pick so everyone could have had him 6 times over but they all passed, imagine that.
Amazing what adding Jagr and King Henrik can do for a team vs aged superstars who've already done it all.
It would have been so much better if he won the cup in 2014. It would have been amazing.
Thank You Hank You will get your cup one day and I hope it comes soon. #LGR
now every scout hate themself for not looking for lundqvist :p
im proud to say that i have Henrik's home jersey
Nice i come from Sweden i love lunqvist
Henrik is the King of NY.. lets get him that cup!
When he finishes his career he will go down as one of the greatest goaltenders/players in New York Rangers history and one of the greatest goalies in NHL history
Bell Bottom behind Richter. Come on ranger fan lmao Richter was a good damn beast. It's 5 past lundqvist recently
goodvibes no way man. Lundqvist is better

This guy better win a cup.
From a BOSTON BRUINS fan.
From Finland with huge respect!
watching in 2020 post buyout :(
this guy NEEDS a cup
0:10 Was that the Penguins goal horn?
Thank You Henrik!
Calling it right now: Cup finalists, Edmonton and New York
KerryPark Islanders2603 I like that one from a ranger fan I like that pick of the Stanley Cup Final
KerryPark Islanders2603 chill there's no way oilers are beating preds let's be real
suvnit grewal fair. Just wanted to pick a Canadian team. Preds also could win it all
Rangers ain't getting past the Pens imo
Hooded they said that about Ottawa in the grey cup, Patriots super bowl comeback, Jets beating the Colts and many other upsets. Also If Sid gets hit again, Fleury and Murray miss extended time I think the pens don't have a chance
I love Shesterkin but I miss King Henrik so much. He may not have a cup but he’ll always have his crown.
I'm a Canucks fan and Lundqvist is one of my favorite goalies. Super sad to see him face heart issues and not being able to play this season :(
Sens fan, I hate the Rangers but Lundqvist deserves a cup. I feel like he should switch teams to get a chance.
And he is handsome as well!
Lundqvist is perfection, as a player, as a human and please don't forget about that hair.... in MSG they call him king, in sweden we call him a legend!
image dalls with lundqvist there a top 3 team
AVGaming91 Any team with Hank can be a contender
Unless you're the Colorado Avalanche
The Miguelodon hell even vegas could be a contender with the King.
no
AVGaming91 Bishop is not Lundqvist
iTzAnTi Just wanted to remind you about this comment.
Lundqvist deserves one legend all the same
Lol the team with the worst goalies (dallas) could have had Lundqvist. LUNDQVIST
Dallas does NOT have the worst goalies!
Captain Bobby Harrison oh trust me they suck
top 5 worst for sure
Heja Brynäs!!
Didn't Ed Belfour play in Dallas at his peak?

@@bobsmith-ov3kn Yeah, I think the goalies in hockey have too big of a role/affect on the game.
Stunning the top goalie in Europe doesnt get picked until the 7th round. Crazy
European scouting used to be dogshit. It's a lot better now. There were 4 Europeans in the first round of the 1999 draft, compare that to 14 in 2017
Always makes me laugh seeing dipietro go 1st overall and hank in the 7th round lmfao
Him and his brother is the BEST!!!!!
Shesterkin will be the next Hank, a great heir to the goaltending throne in the Big Apple
I love you Hendrick
i still cant believe that the rangers bought him out after all this time
Pride to watch jim!
The rest of the team should do whatever it takes to win one cup for him
Do an updated version
So my Blues met with him and could've taken him. Man... No offense to Jake Allen, but I'd take Lundqvist over him any day.
TK #DELETED Same here
Laid Back Fan agreed from a swedish blues fan
I mean u have binnington but lundqvist would maybe have been better
rip king
He deserves a cup
I'll never forget his first season. He was the Rangers and unfortunately hes at the end of his career on a rebuilding team looking to the future but their will never be a greater NY Ranger. Hail the King
brian leetch: am i joke to you?
This guy actually carries his team so hard.
This guy will be a goalie coach when he retires just to have his name on the cup
Lundqvist & The NYR Deserves The Stanley Cup More Than Any Team In The NHL. 🏆
Even with ups and downs, hank is still the King!!! #LGR
Great story for The King
As a flyers fan i like herknik hes a good goalie
Swedens proudness
sometimes the Dallas drafting makes me question everything
sometimes the st louis trading makes me question everything
The dweebs that rejected this guy and sorry for you this man is a lengend
Die hard rangers fan, they need to trade him to a top team so he can at least have a shot at it again. Ray bourque did what he needed to do to win. Lundqvist needs to do the same.
My first hockeyidol
Now the king has fallen.
he is the Buffon of hockey
elliott tornqvist he kind of looks like him too
Yeah
I’m glad he shattered all of Mike Ritcher’s records as a Ranger .
This guy deserve a cup to bad his team can never help him
All I want to see a Hank claim the Stanley Cup before his tenure/career ends in NYC. The Rangers WILL reclaim the Stanley Cup soon.
Henrik!!!!!! Henrik!!!!!! Henrik!!!!!!!
Henrik lunqvist love
I don’t like the Rangers much but God... I just want to see Henrik raise that Stanley Cup, victoriously.
Now he also has World championship gold medal.
Just want to say, the 2000 first round pick 1st overall is now like,"...........................Um yea, he was ok" Him: Bruh, decent Lundqvist: GOAT
King Henrik
Hank makes all fans moan when watching him on net
happy those other teams passed on him
