As stated on his blog,  Henrik Lundqvist knows little about Lias Andersson, but he is looking forward to playing with him this training camp. Henrik said of Andersson, “It will be fun to see him at the camp, I think. The door is open, but I have seen him far too little to know.”

Could Not Have Happened to a Better Man

Officer Steven McDonald will have a stretch of the Southern State Parkway named in his honor. McDonald’s legacy has been well documented since his injury in 1986. He was a huge Rangers fan and this is a beautiful memory that, as Sam Rosen has said, will last a lifetime.
