Henrik Lundqvist is great. Like, really, really, really great. This isn't an argument, this is a fact. He's one of the best goaltenders on the planet -- if not the best -- and is probably the greatest goaltender the Rangers have ever had. Statistically he already is, but Mike Richter played for some awful teams and in a different time and has a ring on his finger. It's not apples to apples.
Expecting Lundqvist to be Lundqvist is something we take for granted. It happens so often it's easy to forget that he's, very simply, the knife's edge difference between winning and losing most nights.
