During the Winter Classic, we saw Claude Giroux enter Henrik Lundqvist’s crease and do his best to get under the metro goaltender’s lovely skin. Fuckin’ Henrik. Let me score one tonight, just one.

Justin Bieber friend Lundqvist did, in fact, let Giroux score one, but he later stoned G’s former roommate, Danny Briere, on a penalty shot to secure the victory for the Rangers, who have beaten the Flyers six times this season.

Scott Hartnell no like.

Yesterday, Hartnell tweeted Lundqvist:

Excellent. That second or third round matchup should be quite fun. Now if you’ll excuse me– I have some pre-hatch chickens to count…

Meanwhile, over at Cavanaugh’s Restaurant and Sports Bar, James van Riemsdyk hung with college kids:

The pic is via reader Perry, who said that JVR quickly bolted once folks recognized him. I’m guessing that meant Riemer meekly fought his way through the crowd, reaching the exit only after being pushed around a little bit by smaller people.
