    One of the most hurtful things as a Ranger fan is seeing this man never win a cup. Alex Oveichkin and Henrik Lundqvist were the two hockey players you knew deserved the cup the most. Alex Oveichkin got his cup but not Hank. Henrik is on my mount rushmore for NHL goalies.

      I feel the same way about Marc-Andre Fleury. He’s the sole reason why I became a hockey fan.
      My husband tried for over 15 yrs to get me to watch hockey. I wasn’t interested. And then we went to Vegas, and we’re fortunate enough to be invited by a casino CEO to be guests of his suite at T Mobile Arena for a VGK game against Winnipeg. Once I saw Flower play-and experienced the excitement of an NHL game that only the city of Vegas could bring with their amazing production capabilities-I was hooked for life!

    I've never really thought of Henke as a legend, but I went to quanthockey to see how he ranks stats-wise and damn! 6th all time in wins, and among the top20 goalies in wins he's 3rd in Save% (after Hasek & Luongo) and tied for 4th in GAA (After Hasek, Brodeur and Jaques Plante).

    • @boreopithecus
      @boreopithecus ปีที่แล้ว

      You really, really shouldn’t be. It’s an extremely similar language (maybe not obvious at a glance but nevertheless true), including the pronunciation, and we prioritize learning it from an early age since we’re a small country.
      If English speakers spent as much time and energy learning, say, German as we do learning English, and 90% of their entertainment was in German, nothing was dubbed, and most of the textbooks in college programs were in German, they would all be fluent in German by age 13. And if they then lived in Germany for more than a decade they probably wouldn’t have much of an accent. That would just be normal at that point.
      There are people with totally unrelated first languages who have pulled off sounding near native in much shorter time and with far less of a head start than what literally every single Swede gets with English. And what I say about Swedes is also true for Dutch people, Norwegians, Danes, Icelanders, Faroese and to a lesser extent Germans, so it’s nothing unique.
