Henrik Lundqvist’s Game 3 Performance Makes Rangers’ Loss Even More Demoralizing

The Rangers had the most convenient excuse in the world following the club’s 5-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 2. Not only did they play a poor defensive game with a ton of mistakes, Henrik Lundqvist had one of the worst games of his career. Surely Lundqvist would bounce back in Game 3 with a much better effort, perhaps a sterling showing that would steal New York a win and get them...

Ice version of air hockey table created

Unfortunately the Reddit user that posted this photo didn’t provide many details about the table, but that doesn’t make this Ice version of an Air Hockey Table any less impressive.  The detail on the rink is amazing and the only flaws are the lack of a red line and the crease is an International style crease.  Playing on this table would be an awesome experience, but some questions...
