It's June 4th, this is New York Rangers News Today, powered by AI Everything happening with your team. I'm Corey with the story. So, Henrik Lundqvist, the legendary goalie for the New York Rangers, is a massive Knicks fan. He was court-signed for Game 1 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio, watching the Knicks take on the Spurs. It's a big deal for the Knicks, who haven't been to the Finals in 27 years, and for the city, which has a 53-year championship, Drought. Lundqvist knows first-hand how tough it is to get to the championship round and not win at all.
He only made it to the Stanley Cup Final once with the Rangers back in 2014, and they lost in five games. He's seen how rare these opportunities are, and it's clear he's feeling the energy of this Knicks run. He's been a fixture in New York for two decades, and he really respects the Knicks fan base. He mentioned in an interview that if the Knicks win at all, the whole city is going to be buzzing. He's all about that playoff atmosphere at Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, on the hockey front, there's a lot of talk about Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck. Apparently, teams are showing a lot of interest in him on the trade market this offseason. It's always interesting to see what moves might be on the horizon for the team. And in other NHL news, the Islanders captain Anders Lee is reportedly far apart from the team on a new contract, and it looks like he might hit free.
Agency Plus, there's speculation that Jonathan Toews might be retiring after his comeback season.
