Even if he started all 48 the odds would be tough.
Last season I predicted we would go 50-25-7. We ended 51-24-7. If you consider about the same averages we'd be looking at 30-15-3 to get Henrik his 30. We'd have to do considerably better, and there is no way he starts even 42 games.
all of you saying that its not that significant because of the shoot out, howcome no other goalie has had 30 wins in their 1st season since hank
What a weird way to frame an argument. Noone is saying that Hank isnt the best goaltender post-lockout. Hes been great, and its significant.
The reason the 30 wins to start a career thing isn't significant has more to do with historicals - like how there was no shoot-out to pad win totals going back several decades before the lockout.
Hockey news predicts Henke going 25-10-4 which comes out to 39 games. So if those stats turn out to be right, he'll fall a tad short.
Anyway, that record means little. I want a Cup, and I want one now.
He can win 30 games every season until the end of his career and he won't be in the Hall of Fame without winning the Cup. But if he wins one Cup, unless he completely collapses the rest of his career, he's in the Hall of Fame.

Disagree. If he plays like this for a while and declines gracefully, he'll be in the HHOF without a cup. The 06 gold really helps that.
i figure he'll win 27 or 28 and be close enough that we can blame the week they sat around doing nothing before opening camp lol
if you are looking for a more realistic win total in a shortened season...15. that is the # of wins hank needs to passed Eddie Giacomin for 2nd in blueshirt history.(49 away from richter so he should be able to reach that next season.)
Rangers might night even go 30-18 if they play the full season. 30-18 is a SOLID record, and would probably put them top-4 in the Conference. And that is provided Lundqvist started for every single win.
I'd say the Rangers hit over 30 wins. But Lundqvist isn't going to be in net for each one.
30 wins is too unrealistic, yeah. I mean if they want him to play 35 games, he would have to go 30-4 the rest of the way to reach that mark. Nearly impossible.
