southpawtendy48 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Awful. As a rival fan i'm so sad for him. if this is the end of his career, he deserved way more as if 2020 couldn't get any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Heart conditions come in all shapes and sizes. Hopefully his is not critical and maybe just related to him playing with it. Glad they caught it before it caused something bad. That said, did he ever get on the ice with the Capitals for a workout? Most importantly, did he have some fresh Caps gear? Hoping we see it in action. But if not, it would be one of those "remember when he signed with the..." things when discussing his career.

He was spotted training in a caps practice jersey a few times. His custom designed pads were unveiled, but no images of them after being made. He had his mask design released as well.

Didn’t Lundqvist’s countryman Soderstrom also have heart issues back in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estogoalie Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 As a lifelong Rangers fan, I say he should just retire now and stay true-blue...and also maybe not have a heart attack and die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Saying it went well. Glad to hear. This is what was done. Heck of a lot of work. Play again or not - don't really matter. Get this dude a microphone and blow dryer stat! Quote Lundqvist underwent a 5-hour procedure earlier this week -- an aortic valve, aortic root, and ascending aortic replacement ...

estogoalie Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Christ, sounds scary I'd be afraid to walk up a flight of stairs after that, much less even think about playing hockey again. I didn't really follow the whole thing, what was the reason he needed this surgery? Was it a birth defect or something he had his whole life? Or something that recently developed? ...like from all the heartache of playing for the Cup-less Rangers for so many years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don't know. I can only assume it was something he's always had and was recently picked up. Seems like it happens to many athletes where they have heart conditions and either drop dead or luckily get it repaired before it's too late. My sister runs marathons. She recently had to have her heart valve moved due to an abnormality in her heart. She had hers done at Mayo in MN. She's good now, but can't really get running again yet. But she will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 From what I read it was a known condition. It was one of those things where it wasn't a problem until it is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
