Article about Lundqvist

http://aftonbladet.se/vss/sport/stor...019958,00.html

I don't have time to translate it right now (maybe another swede could), but I just wanted to tell you about two of the quotes in the article from Lundqvist.

Apperantly he was very frustrated after the Pittsburgh-game:

"I was so angry I didn't know what to do. I slammed my stick against the wall outside of the dressingroom, breaking it and shouting out my anger" (not the best translation but it is early and I am in a rush)

"I couldn't ventilate my anger by hitting someone. It is better to hit stuff instead. I was still furious when I got home and slammed doors and such".

hes a ferocious competitor.

you can see the anger in his eyes every time he gives up a goal.

he lives and dies with each save. you need that to stay pumped for an 82 game grueling schedule.

the kids a keeper.

I love the guy. I wish some other guys on the team would take the same approach as him.

Could you sleep then when you got home that pissed? You had a game on the morning after?

Nah, not much sleep. But it was good that we had a big game right after, so that I had something else to focus on. Had been pissed the whole week otherwise.

Seriously? (in the sense, "was it that bad?")

Yeah, I am a very bad looser. But, I also guess thats whats pushing me at times.

After the All-Star Break ... ... Lundqvist the best GAA in the league ... why have it gone so much better?

In first hand its about the team playing better. The other team are not allowed to create as many chances, which means that I don't get as tired.

But something must have happend with you too?

I am more focused, I've learnt the game better. It takes time to learn how to read th game in the NHL, but I am feeling that I am starting to be in charge of it better.

Ottawa...tuesday?

A new big and important game. Will be like a PO game. Thats how its gooing to be till the end.

Will you make the PO's?

It won't be settled untill the very last game, and I promise you that we are gooing to go to war over it.

Thanks, thought I would do the rest on a lecture but you fixed it

And yeah, he is real bad loser, it was common knowledge in SEL that if he let in 3 goals or more in a game, you don't want to face him in the next because he will either shutdown the opposing team or let one in.

Yeah.

In general on Lundqvist, I guess you kind of feel like me. He got allot of good antics left in the tank that he have yet to show 100% in the NHL.

In Sweden he were like a rolling snowball, when he played well, he only got better and better. His stats in Sweden were sick. You know playing like 50 games and beeing close to a .950 saving %. In Sweden players don't shoot as much either. there are much fewer easy saves to make.

Before his career in the NHL is over, I am almost expecting him to have atleast one sick season, with a around 0.95 svs/shot. He might not be able to hold it together perfectly this season, he is playing so much and are still really fresh. But I personally belives that he got allot left in the tank.

Yeah he sure is, I mean, I really dislike Frölunda and he almost kept my team from getting into SM-finals in 2004 but he was such a treat to watch. Only player outside of my own team that I really grown to like and that was just because of his aggressivness.
Never seen a goalie that would take a goal or a lose like such a personal insult to him, and then grow with. I remember alot of games when he let in a goal in the start of the game, got really pissed and played out of his mind for the rest of the game... He is something else.

Directly after a loss against Färjestad in LLA he drilled his skate and pad straight trough a door in the locker room. Oh what a sight it must have been.

Not moody, he hates to lose. I don't want someone who accepts defeat.

Henrik

Love him, love him really. Without him where does anyone think we would have been the past 2 seasons? When the team began checking and playing D better he has gotten very hard to score on. At the end of the OT yesterday (last minute), he made at least 4 very good saves. If we get to the shootout, it's pretty much over. Go Henrik, Go Rangers, Beats Sens!!
