VIDEO: Lundqvist melts down, gets penalty for launching net off pegs
Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Whether it's unrelenting fury or onset shame, Henrik Lundqvist will be red-faced in the locker room Thursday night.
The New York Rangers netminder was penalized for rather hilariously firing his net off the moorings in protest after being run over by a back-checking teammate defending a transition rush from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It appeared as though Lundqvist was favoring his arm or shoulder, but that didn't stop him from sending an 80-plus-pound net airborne. Or remaining in the game, for that matter.
