NHL goaltender Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers live in game action during the third period at ScotiaBank Place in Ottawa on November 9, 2011 (Rangers @ Senators 11/9/11). The native from Are, Sweden (Sverige) was selected 205th overall in the 7th round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. Lundqvist was nominated for the Vezina Trophy in his first three seasons in the NHL and is the only goaltender in NHL history to record 30 wins in each of his first five seasons. Nicknamed King Henrik by the New York sports media, he led Sweden's national men's ice hockey team to the gold medal at the 2006 winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
@basimp6, you bring a good point because you could hear a 'popping' noise when the puck hits Hank as if it hit hard surface.

I'm pretty sure that shot at 0:56 hit his mask. That happened to me a few times this year. It really throws me off guard for a couple of seconds just because its very startling. I'm impressed by how well he dealt with it and was immediately ready for the next shot.
