It looks like Henrik Lundqvist will not be participating in this year’s World Championships. According to 5-hole blog, Lundqvist’s knees are bothering him so much to the point that he will not be able to participate.

Take a second to panic.

Now that you’re done panicking, there’s no real reason to panic here. When goalies play 70+ games for three years in a row, their knees bother them. Hell, when I play one game in net my knees bother me for three days. Unless this turns into an issue that lingers into August and September, then there really is nothing to worry about. The hockey season is one of, if not the most, grueling seasons in professional sports. It really takes its toll on your body. Let’s not panic, and consider this to be a good decision made by the face of the franchise to get some much needed rest.
