“#Henrik Lundqvist won\u2019t go down without a fight<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Incumbency has its rewards, and especially so when it is accompanied by a 10-2 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .932 save percentage. So yes, Igor Shesterkin is the presumptive No. 1 as the Rangers prepare for their qualifying-round matchup against Carolina that will commence in the Toronto bubble Aug. 1.<\/p>\n

But Henrik Lundqvist did not return from Sweden for this coronavirus-delayed completion to 2019-20 to sit and watch the way he did most of the final two months of regular-season play when he started only three of his team\u2019s final 25 game<\/a>s, and one of the final 18.<\/p>\n

You bet he will app<\/a>roach this training camp as his Last Dance.<\/p>\n

He came to compete with Shesterkin, he came to compete with Alex Georgiev, he came to compete the way he has since the moment he arrived in New York in September 2005 and quickly established himself as both the face and the backbone of the franchise.<\/p>\n

Few pro athletes have ever represented themselves, their teams and our city so well for so long. But here is the thing: If this is the time for the King to say so long to New York, it won\u2019t be without a fight. Indeed, Lundqvist has been preparing for this for months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can say that going back to Sweden during this break, I spent a lot of time with my family, some with my friends and it also gave me an opportunity to work on my game a little bit, technically, physically and mentally,\u201d said the goaltender whose homeland did not mandate the same virus-related protocols, restrictions and mandates as most other European countries. \u201cI feel like coming back now, I\u2019m in a really good place in all three [of those] areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I feel very excited to start the camp and obviously there are three guys for one spot, so we\u2019ll see who gets to play. But I\u2019m not looking too far. Again, the three things I try to control and can control \u2014 physical, technical and mental \u2014 I feel like I\u2019m well-prepared there. I\u2019ll give it all my energy during camp and we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Quinn made it clear that he is not running a tryout camp here. The Rangers are going to dance with the ones that earned them the 18-10-1 record over the final nine-plus weeks of the season that elevated the team into this unique qualifier. Of course, there was a qualifier, too, from the coach about the goaltending position.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot is going to go into the decision because of the unique circumstances,\u201d said Quinn. \u201cI actually had a meeting with all three of them today to tell them how important the next three weeks are going to be. But that being said, it\u2019s not just about these [next] three weeks. There are a lot of other things to take into consideration \u2014 Henrik\u2019s success against [Carolina], the seasons guys were having, what was going on when we left off \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there\u2019s going to be a lot that goes into it, but this one position probably more than any, these next three weeks are going to be pivotal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lundqvist has started 128 of the team\u2019s 129 playoff games since he joined the team in 2005, and 127 straight since Kevin Weekes got the assignment from Tom Renney for Game 2 of the first round of 2006 at the Meadowlands against the Devils on April 24, a 4-1 defeat. You bet he wants to extend that postseason streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a restart,\u201d the 38-year-old said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody has been through this before. I look at it, back [to what I said] about controlling what I can control. I feel really good, I\u2019m exactly back, I have trained well, mentally I feel like I\u2019m well-prepared, so we just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you just have to enjoy it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quinn needs all three of his goaltenders at the top of their games. You cannot ensure, despite taking all precautions as the Rangers have done in a thorough manner, good health. Depth in goal will almost certainly become a significant asset in order for the Rangers to make something of this opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there shouldn\u2019t be any limits as how we look at ourselves and what we can accomplish,\u201d Lundqvist said. \u201cAt the same time, we should stay humble to look at this challenge. You could lose the first round, but you also could go all the way. And I think a lot of teams feel the same way, especially in this situation where you\u2019ve been away from the game for so long and are coming in and playing in an environment where nobody\u2019s been before.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I just take it day by day here, and work as hard as I can. We\u2019ll see if it\u2019s enough to play, and if it\u2019s not enough to play, I\u2019ll try to be very supportive and we\u2019ll just go from there.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
