Bear with me, it's worth it.  Really.


Henrik Lundqvist retired today after 15  seasons as the goaltender for the New York Rangers in the NHL.  born in Jämtland, Sweden, Lundqvist helped lead the Swedish Olympic team to the Gold medal in 2016.  During his years in the NHL, he won the Vezina Trophy as best goaltender in 2012.


So, on the occasion of his retirement, it's only proper to honor the 39-year-old Swede with his appearance in a "This is SportsCenter" ad for ESPN, one of the more off-beat and funny, which is saying a lot for the long-running series of ads are very off-beat and funny.
