Lundqvist's Knee a Concern?

Eric over at 5-Hole breaks news no Ranger fan wants to hear regarding Henrik Lundqvist's knee...

Lundqvist talking to Swedish tabloid, Aftonbladet on why he will not be joining team Sweden at the I.I.H.F. World Championship in Germany next month

“I’ve been doing physical therapy for a week but the knee doesn’t get any better, so I have to say no. It doesn’t feel OK to go. It’s both physically and mentally demanding to play in the Worlds when you are not 100%.”

Back in 2008 their were rumors of Lundqvist taking weekly cortisone shots in his knees.

...not sure the legitimacy of this quote as a Swedish tabloid also broke the cortisone shot rumor that Steve Zipay debunked. Either way it is a bit concerning.


...h/t to Puck Daddy.
