Stanley Cup
If you're ever lucky enough to get inside Derek Jeter's sprawling St. Petersburg mansion, don't expect a souvenir snapshot. NEW YORK – Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist sure looked spiffy standing at a media room podium following the proudest moment of what's becoming a Hall of Fame career. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist made a strong case for save of the year on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres.
And because of Lundqvist more than anyone, this superstar who’s won an Olympic gold medal and a Vezina Trophy will play for the Stanley Cup for the first time at age 32. Another weekend is here, so let's take a look at some of the big games on the NHL schedule for Saturday and Sunday and see what the EA SPORTS simulations believe will be the outcome. In our first week of sims, we went 4-1, only missing the incredible Capitals vs Canadians game with the wild 3rd period. (There were six goals scored in the period if you didn't see it!) Bernie Parent says he remembers clearly the last game of the 1973-74 Stanley Cup finals against the Boston Bruins. There were five minutes to go, and the score was 1-0. Parent was in goal for the Philadelphia Flyers."
A generation ago the only instruction a goalie was likely to get was from a coach who'd never played the position and knew little more than to mutter, "Stay on your feet," as if it were some sort of mantra. A bad goal, to the coach, was a goal that went in at the wrong time. "The knowledge of how to play goal is really quite limited," says Sinden. "Goaltending is to hockey like putting is to golf. It really has no relationship to the rest of the game."
Canadiens winger Tomas Vanek carried the puck from the Rangers blue line through two defenders toward the net, then from the left circle attempted to backhand a pass to the right crease for rookie linemate Michael Bournival, who was crashing the net. With just a fraction of a second to react, Lundqvist threw up his right arm. His stick went flying toward the right circle, then Lundqvist went into a roll the other way. Though relentless with Theodore on the bench for the extra attacker, Thomas would shut the door and make a huge diving save off of Alex Ovechkin to secure the win for the Northeast leaders. Beasts of the East! Rangers headed to Stanley Cup!New York Daily News Lundqvist looked like he was dressed to walk the red carpet at the Oscars.
