Henrik Lundqvist Announces Retirement from Hockey

Lundqvist undoubtedly will go down as the best goaltender of the post-lockout era, and one of the greatest in league history who will one day be inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Some of his accolades include:

  • 459 wins
  • 64 shutouts
  • 27,076 total saves
  • 2006 Olympic Gold Medal
  • 2014 Olympic Silver Medal
  • 2017 World Championship Gold
  • 2012-13 Vezina Trophy Winner
  • 2011-12 Hart Trophy Finalist
  • Five-Time All-Star
  • Nine-Time Rangers Team MVP
  • Six Consecutive Game 7 Victories
  • Only goaltender in NHL history to record 30 wins in each of first seven seasons
  • First NHL goaltender to start his career with 11 straight, 20-win seasons

There are many other impressive things associated with Henrik, but I think you get the point.
