Lundqvists Ill Father On His Mind

At the Daily News, John Dellapina reports that Henrik Lunqvist's father has been undergoing treatments for an aneurysm, which might be the reason for his recent struggles...

"Henrik Lundqvist insists it is neither a valid excuse for anything that has happened over the last several weeks nor a reasonable explanation for any particular goal against or subpar performance.

But then, the Rangers' franchise goaltender concedes that his father's health - slowly improving but still a matter of major concern - is on his mind constantly.

Peter Lundqvist underwent brain surgery in mid-December. Henrik doesn't want to discuss the details. But his father apparently suffered an aneurysm that required the surgery shortly after he returned to Sweden from a late-November visit to the United States to see his twin sons Henrik and Joel of the Dallas Stars play against each other at the Garden..."

...no matter what Lundqvist says its got to be weighing on his mind. I know it would be for me.

...its good to hear that his father's health is improving and hopefully that will give him peace of mind as he attempts to turn his game around.
