New York Sports Icons That Could Run For President

Henrik Lundqvist 

Could you imagine a primary vote with Lundqvist and Tavares competing against each other? If you thought the New York Rangers fans and their Long Island neighbors didn’t like each other before, you could be witnessing a small hockey war in the tri-state area. However, we also may need to bend a few laws for the Swedish-born Lundqvist to run, but we’ll figure that out later.

If Hank were to be elected, you’d automatically have the best-looking president in U.S. history. The guy goes from sweaty, physically drained hockey player, to a GQ model in a matter of minutes. That can’t hurt when it comes to acquiring the ladies’ vote.

The NHL playoffs may be the most intense sporting event the U.S. offers, and it’s a type of pressure that Lundqvist has become accustomed to. While he hasn’t won a Cup, he’s always been reliable in net. Arming him with the proper cabinet in office instead of the ice could pay dividends for America.
