Henrik Lundqvist quickly became a New York fan favorite after completing his rookie campaign as goalie for the Rangers in 2005. The Swede's strong and consistent play propelled the Rangers to their first playoff berth in eight years and earned him a Vezina Trophy nomination, which is awarded annually to the league's best goaltender. Lundqvist also backstopped Team Sweden to their gold medal in the 2006 Olympics, and has been nicknamed "King Henrik" by many New York faithful. Henrik Lundqvist has hand signed this 16x20 photograph of him taking the ice before facing the Buffalo Sabres in Game Four of the 2007 Eastern Conference Semifinals on May 1, 2007 at Madison Square Garden. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
