Uffe and Henke

It is great to hear about the great stuff happening in the NHL, namely the good news surrounding Henke Lundqvist who is apparently doing really well. Here is some news straight from the horses mouth as it were.

Henke is a great goalie, and the Swedish league appears to be a good precursor to the NHL, at least Henke is able to reproduce his success. The key is to make it through the bad spots, which come inevitably, especially in New York. As a New Yorker, I know how tough the fans can be when you get into a rough patch. Henke needs to stay strong, keep his composure and play out of the rough patches, something I am sure he will do. Still, he is just 23 and New Yorkers are not known for their patience. Yet there are some similarities between the US and Sweden so I am sure Henke will thrive.
