After 15 years as “The King of New York”, the separation finally became inevitable. Lundqvist has competed with two younger and now better goalkeepers. The harsh reality of sport.
A reality that is felt in the heart of his heir Zibanejad.
– It has been difficult to avoid all the reports and rumors about this, so I was a little prepared. However, it was incredibly difficult to watch when it came out and made official. Very sad, says Zibanejad to SVT Sport.
“He has been an idol in every way”
– Henke has been there for so long and has been an idol in every way. I learned a lot from him.
Lundqvist not only took responsibility in ice but also outside. As a human being and teammate, he had “five or more” according to Zibanejad, who will now try to fill the mantle that the giant leaves behind.
– It has always been a security, so of course now it feels incredibly heavy.
