The New York Rangers have won all four of their previous outdoor games, with goaltender Henrik Lundqvist playing a key role in each victory. As the team prepares for their fifth outdoor game, Lundqvist reflects on the memorable moments from each contest, including dramatic finishes and the excitement of playing in iconic venues like Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
Former Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tom Barrasso has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after 17 years of eligibility. While his resume is comparable to that of Henrik Lundqvist, who made it on his first ballot, Barrasso's reputation as an "execrable human being" likely kept him out for so long. Stories of his mistreatment of teammates, coaches, and even owners are numerous, but his on-ice accomplishments, including two Stanley Cups and the NHL's career record for points by a goaltender, make him a worthy Hall of Famer.
Henrik Lundqvist, Pierre Turgeon, Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, and Caroline Ouellette were elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame's class of 2023. Lundqvist, a former New York Rangers goalie, spent 15 seasons in the NHL and was among the top goaltenders in the league throughout his career. Turgeon, a former forward, notched 1,327 points in 1,294 games over his 19-year career. The induction ceremony will take place on Nov. 13 in Toronto.
