Risto Pakarinen at the International Ice Hockey Federation website has this feature on Henrick Lundqvist...

With three years with the Rangers under his belt, Lundqvist is becoming a true New Yorker, enjoying life in the Big Apple with everything it has to offer. And that’s a lot.

“I really enjoy living in New York, and it feels good to know that I’m going to be there for a long time,” says Lundqvist who this spring signed a six-year contract extension with the Rangers.

Lundqvist is one of the players the Rangers are building their team around as they continue their Cup quest next season. In 1994, the Rangers had waited 40 years to win the Cup, and now it’s been another 14 years.

“That’s the dream I have. To win the Stanley Cup in New York. It would huge,” he says...
