He is such a great and positive human being. Congratulations to him.

[@FrazTHG]

Thank you Henrik I knew you were special the first game I watched you play back in '05. You kept it classy like Derek Jeter throughout your career. Those Henrik chants will never get old. To the King of New York Henrik Lundqvist.

[@hansmalefjord7934]

[@charliebronson1274]

My King. My Ranger. Tre Kroner. You are unparalleled. Bless you.

[@merisonola]

Thank you so much for the memories. My favorite team and my favorite goalie. You'll never be replaced to me.

[@JasonMaldonado-fx2fz]

He will always be king of New York the only thing he didn’t do was win a Stanley cup but he tried to do it and gave it everything he had along with the entire rangers team

[@johnrwalker53]

Well Said Jason!!

[@JasonMaldonado-fx2fz]

I really think we have a good chance to win one this year

[@TheFoolintherainn]

[@edwinrivera5695]

Love you Hank! 💙 Blessings from the Caribbean! 🌴

[@toddwithington5595]

Thank you king hank

[@ojibwe_86]

Great career, just wish he would’ve won the Cup at least once. In a decade from now, will he be remembered as the best goalie to never win a cup? We chant IGOR now, but I remember when it was HEN-RIK.

[@ethanparker7900]

at least he got to go to a stanley cup final though

[@RobertLopez-cd1oy]

Royalty the KING

[@crawlFace]

What a run we had, eh? So close, huge wins, tough losses... and it was amazing! LGR

[@anthonyhicks872]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@bhagmeister]

Kung HENRIK

[@franktheo2055]

The King Of The New York Streets. 🏒

[@Adam-vo6tv]

The Rangers should line up and apologize to him over and over again for not getting him any cups.

[@Lawomenshoops]

Come on all Swedish players should thank Borje for blazing the trail from Swede to the NHL.

[@johnrwalker53]

Actually it was Inevitable the NHL would go International.Borje just happened to be the first.

[@brentcusack]

[@Tubewings]

I don't understand why Patrick Roy was the one to give Henrik his HHOF plaque. He hasn't been the winningest goalie in the NHL since 2009, when another Hall of Famer broke that record.

[@gollese]

The OG

[@GeroldGarthcia]

Sorry Tokyo. You may be the largest cities based on "facts" but tye NHL knows better.

[@vintagehockey7]

Yea, he was a good goalie, but never won the big one

[@anthonydemaio4631]

He has won and Olympic gold medal before

[@FredrikHilmersson-s4g]

lol.. lot of great players who got inducted to the HOF never won the stanley cup.. doesn't impact anything on their career

[@aidan30_]

Doesn’t matter buddy many didn’t Hank was a huge part of the Rangers even making it close to the finals and being in the finals he carried so many Rangers teams near the promise land but one guy can’t win it all

[@vashthestampede11]

I mean Martin brodeur has the most wins in NHL history but okay

[@InMotionForAMillion]

I caught that too...I think the guy meant to convey that he was the winningest goalie in NHL history at the time of his retirement, but just flubbed the line. 🤷‍♂

[@rowch4860]

Most wins by a European born player in the NHL, not overall. Should double check next time if something doesn't sound right instead of just assuming you heard right. Had to go back and listen myself after reading this, because that would of even been disrespectful to Roy who brought out the plaque and is 2nd all time in wins lol. It's at 2:37 if you are curious.

[@InMotionForAMillion]

@@rowch4860 We are referring to 3:40 when the announcer erroneously refers to Patrick Roy as “the winningest goaltender in NHL history”, NOT the moment at 2:37.

[@Looch1717]

@@rowch4860 You are wrong..For someone who is advocating paying attention and getting things right youre doing a poor job of it. At 3.40 the announcer says Roy is the "winningest goalie of all history".

[@vashthestampede11]

I'm referring to 3:40, where they refer to Patrick Roy as having the most wins in NHL history. Like I've said, that's Martin brodeur. I didn't think it was complicated

[@warrengauthier4699]

No cup...no HHOF or so it should be.

[@josec.quintos9247]

Yes Generation Z wil nevee know that Mike Richter beat the Mighty Team Canada in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and ever since then The Canadian Hall i of Fame refuse to admit Mike Richrer into their Hall of Fame Go ahead gen Z google it ir ask ask Serie it will say that Mike Richter along with Brian Leetch were admitted to the US Hall iof Fame but never to the Hockey "Canadian" Hall of Fame in Toronto just becayse Mke Richter beat the Mighty team Canada ked by the Great Gretzky , steve Yzerman Ray Bourque and Patrick Roy maybe the best Team canada ever assembked after the Russian v Team Canada series

[@warrengauthier4699]

@josec.quintos9247 : Did you stroke out dude?

[@josec.quintos9247]

Are you kidding me Mike Richter not Lundqvist won the Rangers The cup in 1994 if not stopping Oavel Bute in gane 7 Rangers would not have gone on to Game 7 Google it and Google 1996 Workd Cup if Hockey how Richter was MVP and ked team USA to victory vs Gretzky and Team Canada just for that The Gall if Fame in Canada refuse to consider Mike Richter

[@warrengauthier4699]

@@josec.quintos9247 : Who are you arguing with? Who said anything about Richter?

[@ethanparker7900]

how dumb are you? Cups don't define whether a guy goes into the hall or not! Cups are team awards and this is an individual here. While he never actually got his name on it, he won many other accolades to make up for it such as a vezina, an olympic gold, olympic silver and is the 6th winningest goalie in history. There are other legends in the hall without cups too look at Luongo, iginla, sundin and dionne. Shows how dumb and soft people are by saying this.

[@OGfps94]

Marty’s Better!

[@johnrwalker53]

Unlike TheKing, you're a person with No Class little twisty in the wind.

[@gollese]

Just like Max Verstappen haters in F1, you are no hockey fan.

[@JMdrumz71]

Hail the King!

[@NYR11949]

Thank you King Henrik for 15 phenomenal years.
