New York Rangers and the Lundqvist Myth

If you follow the New York Rangers to any degree, or NHL hockey for that matter, it is hard to avoid the consistent theme that, due to Henrik Lundqvist’s advancing age, the organization has a narrow window to secure a Stanley Cup championship. The thinking is, Lundqvist is the hub around which all other variables are constructed, and that without the talented Swedish backstop the Rangers would be on the outside looking in, regardless of who else might be skating for the home team at The Garden.

This thinking, while popular, is wrong.

Lundqvist is a New York Ranger, Not the New York Rangers
