That's exactly what I did. I didn't sleep at all, I was so upset. I had to get up at 5:30 for work so right now I'm exhausted haven't slept since Thursday night. However when I saw the Henrik locker room pics I did tear up. It just hit me. We all know the team cares about winning but Henrik just takes it to a whole another level like he blames himself. It's sad, really is. I wish I was at the airport today to give him a bro hug.

Tweeted him telling him he's my hero and idol and that We all love him to death. I do hope he reads.

I really hope he doesn't. You sure you want him seeing what some of the ***holes on this board have to say after every bad bounce?
When Calgary lost in 2004, I ran down to my room crying, tore down all my posters, and anything calgary related went into my garbage bin (I was 13 at the time). The next day, it all went back up.
As much as it hurts now, it will pass. Eventually, you'll enjoy the memories of the run.

Same. Luckily he was the 3rd to get it, then I switched to MSG. Always like Gabby and was happy for him at least

That's exactly what I did. Had the remote in my hand ready to change the channel for when it happened.

im talking about the twitter tweets I saw sent where a lot of people were sneding the most heartfelt things I ever seen from a fan to a player
I watched as much as I could. I felt that the more pain I soaked up, the better it would make our next Stanley Cup win feel (whenever that is). Whenever our next cup win is, whether it's next year or 50 years from now, I'm going to look back to last night and it's going to make it that much more sweeter. We could have taken the easy way out and been like those Devils fans we all know who were born and bred in New York who became New Jersey fans because they wanted a cheap thrill. I know a guy at work who's a Devils fan and he's experienced 5 finals appearances and 3 stanley cups since '94, but by the 3rd cup and the 2012 finals appearance, it was just business as usual to him. Almost no emotion, no passion anymore. Not us. When we win the cup it will feel like nothing he's ever experienced before. Hell, heroin addicts would kill to experience what we're gonna feel. That's what gets me through these moments.
Also, if it makes you feel any better, I've cried over a bunch of games. We probably all have at one time or another.
Also, check this out. The feels, man. The feels.

I know, I'm sure it's 90% like that. It's the 10% that ruin it for everyone else

My confession is that I fell asleep in between the 1st and 2nd OT. Woke up at the 9 minutes mark and tried to stay awake and fell asleep again. When I woke up again I saw the Gaborik on ice interview so that's how I found out. I posted something the GDT and went back to bed.
When I awoke this morning for a second I tried to convince myself that it didn't happen. But it did and now I have to live with it just like the we all have to.

That's rough man
I'm sick over it. I feel like I let the Rangers and HF boards down by not being there when this was an all hands on deck moment.
I was ok until they started bringing the cup out and it really hit home that is wasnt coming out for us and I broke down. All I;ve ever wanted is to see Henrik lift a cup. Just thinking about it now is making me tear up. He has done so much for this team and I've never seen a competitor like him before. To say he deserves the cup is an understatement.

I watched a good portion and I did cry. The funny thing is no matter what happens to me in life, the Rangers are the only thing I've cried about in years. All of us who post here care a great deal more than most fans of the team. There are just those certain things...

The last person I was happy for was Gaborik. His effort level was **** for us in the playoffs, especially against NJ. I know he had a bum shoulder, but that doesn't mean he can go out there and give zero effort, sit down if you're too injured. He also never played for us like he did for the Kings, going to the front of the net all the time and getting a bunch of gritty goals. He was giving terrible effort in Columbus too and got traded for a high five and a coke as a result. Guys like Marian Gaborik should never hoist the Cup. Something isn't right about guys like him hoisting it while guys like Henrik haven't done so.

No shame in it at all. I felt so bad for Henrik.
I burst from joy after Alecs goal but seeing Henriks reaction almost wiped the smile off my face.
I can see why he was so frustrated and didnt want to speak to the media after the game. I honestly felt like he deserved the Conn Smythe. He was doing summersaults but his team didnt help him. He deserves all the praise and wish him and your team the best fellas.
