New York Rangers: Henrik Lundqvist

King Henrik is two things, an all time great goaltender and a ridiculously handsome man. Sure, we could focus on the former but the latter is just overpowering. A big part of Lundqvist’s dashing look comes from the silky-smooth beard hanging off his chin.

King Henrik is the deciding factor each time the New York Rangers make a playoff run. He has another level that players in the postseason need to be successful. The King has played every season of his career with the Rangers, dating back to 2005. He has a .919 save percentage and a 2.37 goals against average through 13 NHL seasons.

Lundqvist holds some pretty ridiculous records. He is the only NHL goalie in history to record at least 30 wins in every full season he’s played, he was the fastest goaltender in history to reach 400 wins and he has played a record 744 NHL games. Perhaps more impressive than his storied goaltending career, King Hendrik used to play guitar in a Swedish rock back named Box Play.

Here’s a clip of The King ripping some Guns n’ Roses:

All-time great goaltender, jaw-dropping playoff beard growing ability, shreds guitar. Could you ask for more out of this guy? I think not.
