In a wide-ranging interview published in the Swedish newspaper Göteborgs-Posten (The Gothenburg Post), Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said he was surprised and disappointed that he finished the now completed regular season as the Blueshirts’ third goalie, but he intends to fight to regain his position as the team’s No. 1 goaltender and he believes he can play “another few years’’ in the NHL.
The Rangers blog Forever Blueshirts got a translation of the article, written by reporter Johan Rylander in Swedish, and wrote a post about it. In the blog, Lundqvist is quoted as saying, “When things turned out the way they did, I was surprised, but at the same time, part of me understands the situation.
