Official: Lights go out on Broadway for the King, New York Rangers buyout Henrik Lundqvist

Now it is official. The New York Rangers announced today what they worked out a week ago. The Blueshirts will move on without the face of the franchise for the last 15 years. Henrik Lundqvist has been bought out.

A career fit for the shining lights of Broadway

Every show on Broadway, no matter how historic the run eventually comes to an end. Today, the unseen name on the Madison Square Garden marquee, Henrik Lundqvist is no more.

The King as he became to be known had a great run on the NHL’s brightest stage. For fifteen years he manned the nets and guarded the Rangers crease.
