Henrik Lundqvist says he’ll work for Rangers after retirement

[SA16]

Why do we want to hire more uneducated former players?

You can get 3rd degree burns from some of the takes in this thread

Fortunately for us, his one trick was being the best goalie of his generation.

This is the worst post I've read in a long time. Congratulations.

He does it on purpose. Been his schtick for years.

Kind of depends on the position, no?

You gotta throw the dumb deranged fan base some red meat once in a while so they can relive the glory days of a has-been, didn't win a Championship as a NYR player. But, remember that inconsequential game in February of 2008! YEA THAT WAS AWESOME. Pathetic saps.

Lundqvist has become the chick that you break up with that just won't go away. Now he is quickly becoming the crazy chick you have to get a restraining order against because he has this revenge fantasy in his head that he is going to play so well in DC and as a visitor at MSG that we are going to beg him to come back.

It's over dude! GO AWAY! We don't want you anymore!

If Hank wins a cup as a back up so be it. It's a hollow victory for him at best. Every time he looks down at the ring on his finger he will know in the back of his mind that he was just a pedestrian watching as the championship train went by and he was able to grasp the rail on the last car to be a hanger-on. Good for him, I guess. A one dimensional championship for a one dimensional person that was a one-trick pony is net.

This is embarassing. I honestly feel sad for you.

Uhm....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Subtle sarcastic humor, I hope. If not, good grief.

Not a good look to your new employer to say you'll work for your old employer in a few years.

I know there's a lot of emotional baggage and a breakup/divorce we and Henrik are going through but once training camp is announced can we just not worry about him until he retires and a banner ceremony for #30 is scheduled?

I wish him good health and to have a good time in DC and/or wherever he goes next but he's no longer a Ranger from now until he hangs it up.

Thanks, but it's unneccesary.

It would be one thing if the championship that never was were because of something Lundqvist didn't do. The real truth of the matter is that he dragged a team to the finish line that really had no business being there in the first place. The only dumb thing here is your take above.

Shhhhh......don't feed the troll. Even though I have been just as guilty.

***YAWN*** You people are boring me. Come up with a new quote.

No one is trolling her bro. I like Hank, and I appreciate everything he did and tried to do. However, I'm not dropping to my knees sucking the guy's dick like the other 99% here. I don't reward failure. As I have said multiple times before. Thanks for the memories, now go away.

Damn, Henke gets around

1) You do not reward anything
2) That Gilbert guy. What a failure.......

i know people like to throw around the whole "employer/employee" dynamic to athletes and pro sports teams to try and put it into terms that regular jackoffs like us can understand, but really, its a different kind situation that none of us will ever relate to.

Washington brought Hank on for a one year deal to provide cover for their young goalie of the future, and try to win a championship in the near future. They're not "investing in an employee" or thinking long term like a corporation here. Hank is more of a consultant than a full time employee if you must make parallels.

They signed him to a contract. For the duration, he is in fact their employee.

The only failure in this topic is you as a contributor to this thread. Thanks for the memories, now go away.

So... let’s say he comes back as a co-goalie coach. Still pathetic, old boys club? Maybe a scout? Maybe just a PR guy involved in charities and the image of the organization?

It’s not like they’re like hey... go play as long as you want and come be head coach whenever you’re ready. The takes in this thread are rough. Everyone describing Henrik as the crazy ex-girlfriend when you all sound like spurned pursuers. A lot can be inferred from that.

Man, if Connor McDavid plays 18 years in Edmonton without winning a cup, I hope all we hear is “I don’t reward failures” and “I don’t care what he did, I don’t welcome losers”.

Nah, I like it here.

That Gretzky guy was a complete failure here

 

[Thirty One]

I don't see Lundqvist as a coach. I could see him doing what Rod Gilbert has been doing.

He's on Washington's payroll as a fulltime player. It's not like he's a guest star on a tv series for an arc. If Henrik turns into Bret Hart in WCW, it's not good for him or the Caps.
