First off, this pic is awesome. But not as awesome as it's been watching Marc Staal slowly but surely become the Marc Staal of old.It hasn't been an easy return to the NHL for Staal, after missing the first three months of the season with post concussion syndrome. There was a lot of watching from the bench as other defensemen took his turn on the ice. He was no longer matched...

In no surprise whatsoever, Henrik Lundqvist was named a finalist for the Vezina trophy this season. Lundqvist had by far the best season of his career this year, posting a 1.97 GAA (4th in the NHL), a .930 SV% (3rd), 39 wins (3rd), and 8 shutouts (3rd).

Henrik Lundqvist gave a wink and a smile when asked about his postgame tirade after the New York Rangers stayed alive with a Game 6 win at Ottawa.
The usually mild-mannered star goalie, who could be in line to win the Vezina Trophy for the first time, wasn't really in the mood to rehash it. There are much bigger things on his mind and the minds of his teammates, like beating...
