Should “The King” rule in Game One?
The New York Rangers carried three goalies for more than two months before the NHL suspended play last March. If the league resumes with the playoffs, as expected, only one deserves to start Game One for the Blueshirts.
When the puck finally drops on an NHL ice sheet again, it could be in the playoffs capping the 2019-20 season and with it, perhaps, the tenure of New York Rangers’ goaltender Henrik Lundqvist on Broadway.
For the past 15 years, “The King” became a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame, holder of every major franchise goaltending record, took the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Finals and saved the bacon of invisible teammates many times.
