Former Teammates Henrik Lundqvist and Jesper Fast share Wholesome Moment On-Air
It's always great when you get to talk to old teammates and friends. Such was the case last night as Jesper Fast scored the overtime goal to give the Carolina Hurricanes the victory over the New Jersey Devils and send his team to the next round of the playoffs.
Following the game, Fast was interviewed by former teammate Henrik Lundqvist. The two played for the New York Rangers. Lundqvist asked Fast if he was turning into some kind of sniper, a question that seemed to embarrass Fast a little, even though his smile never left his face.
"No, I wouldn't say so, but I'm happy to score some goals"
It was after that interview, when the camera returned to the NHL on TNT panel that Lundqvist talked about what kind of teammate Fast is. He beamed the whole time he was talking about Fast.
"Everybody loved him. He's such a good teammate. He works so hard, he was voted by his teammates, I don't know how many years, but at least five, as the most popular teammate. In terms of his mindset, showing up every day, how hard he worked, no ego whatsoever. So when guys like that have success, you're just so happy for them. I love to see him have success now in Carolina."
2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Fast has been an absolute stud for the Canes on the post season, putting up five goals and eight points in 11 games. Carolina will face the winner of the Toronto Maple Leafs - Florida Panthers series in the next round.
