am ready to cry

 

[NickyFotiu]

So cool that Zooks will be there. Was that on purpose or just luck?

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

On purpose.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

It’s going to be an epic night. Hank in the rafters, Zucc in the building and a blizzard to cap it off.

Get rowdy in the garden tonight!!!

 

[LokiDog]

I would have gone to the watch party if it weren’t for the blizzard warning. Really hope it doesn’t effect the turnout for Hank’s big night.

Getting nostalgic about the Jagr era today watching old clips of young Lundqvist crazy how fast time flieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl0z44uEHE0

A friendly reminder that anyone who ever said anything bad about Henrik Lundqvist ever can politely shut the f*** up. Doubly so for the bozos here who watched his whole career and still had the gall.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Is Fox definitely out?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Is Fox definitely out?

I don't think it's definitive, but I'd guess probably not. Sucks - wanted to see him out there on Hank's night.

 

[Brief Candle]

I literally remember Hank's first game because I remember seeing his name as the starter and going "Oh great, who the f*** is this kid. We're about to get shit on SO badly". We lost his first game but he was fantastic. Knew then that he'd be something special. It really is insane how time flies.

Get the win for Hank, boys!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Is Fox definitely out?

That would be such a buzzkill for him

Some old school Hank:

And this

yeah that's my favorite Hank moment, squirting Sid with the water bottle

 

[Mike in Houston]

Some jersey retirement numbers:

In other words.... we're fooked.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I'll be there tonight! These bozos better not put up a stinker. Minnesota is dangerous this year.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

In other words.... we're fooked.

In other words, if Chytil isn't playing, expect Hájek to get a goal.

I miss this shit so much. Brodeur vs Lundqvist was the best.

 

[Unpredictable1]

So how would a guy in the Great White North mannin the Wall, watch this pregame ceremony?

I'd place good money on my NHL Live subscription not showing it. Before ESPN took over, I always got the MSG post game and anything pregame (Steve MacDonald awards etc). Now, I get the game only and terrible terrible repetitive shitty commercials. (to the point it'll drive you insane)

 

[FultonReed]

can't believe I'm lucky enough to be in the building tonight.

let's go, boys. win it for Hank.
