Henke “booed – and the great hero – Aftonbladet

PITTSBURGH. At first he had nothing to do 40 minutes – and then got Henrik Lundqvist save the evening for the New York Rangers during a really sweaty The third period.

In between, he will be pååkt of Sidney Crosby also – and accused of shooting an entire hall.

– But I did not. I got an elbow to the head. So it is always against Pittsburgh, I expect nothing and are just trying to avoid getting frustrated, says the Swedish goalie star to Sportbladet after a 2-1 victory.

Swedish stellar lyxgåvor to their parents

The first away game for New York in the playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins were not quite as Henrik Lundqvist had imagined.

In two periods, he stood idle most of the time. The penguins had mid game just fired – or rather allowed to fire – six shots and when the signal went for the halftime number two was written that number to eleven.

– We did a very good road game and made sure they did not get much space and hence very little chances, saying “Henke” when he sits and take a breather afterwards.

– I waited, however, all the time that they would get a push, but it happened like never. Until the third time …

“Constant attack”

Well, then fell guests down a little too far and Pittsburgh could start attacking. They more than doubled shot quotient and when just over seven minutes remaining managed to Patric Hornqvist flicking a return from close range. Then followed an intense final booster when the Rangers blågule keeper really got to do it justice fix the cash club gives him.

– They turned up the intensity and we had a hard time getting up high enough on

the track so it was basically constant attack continues Henrik.

– It was right messy too, there were many loose pucks and I had difficulty following them. I was still trying to be in position at all times.

And it was he; several rescues were world class – as when Sidney Crosby got hold of the puck, rounded the goal area and did not get the puck over the Swede’s shin.

– The yes …. it was toe. I had a hunch that he would do just that, but he was quick so I had to react quickly.

“elbow in the head”

The same Crosby raced past Rangers bag after a rescue in the second period, after which “Henke” fell hard in the ice – and was booed thoroughly, then the home fans thought he was trying to film to an expulsion.

– But I did not. I got an elbow to the head. I have played against this team for many years and it is always the same. Crosscheck throughs and slash entries and pååkningar, he said.

– I expect nothing and are just trying to avoid getting frustrated.

The Rangers have with the night’s victory gained 2-1- superiority in the series.

– It was important to us that we could come back strong after a home loss later and obviously it’s great victory, saying “Henke”.
