00:00:12,262 --> 00:00:14,764
[man in Swedish] What's the outfit?

5
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:15,765
[Henrik] Uh…

6
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:21,229
I'm going for black, double-breasted.

7
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:27,485
[heart monitor beeping]

8
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:30,321
[doctor in English] We've discussed
the most recent testing,

9
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:32,198
and our thoughts and recommendations.

10
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:36,286
I just want to make sure
if you have any questions.

11
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:39,789
[Henrik] If I was your brother,
would you tell me not to play?

12
00:00:41,624 --> 00:00:42,751
[doctor] I would.

13
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:47,839
[music intensifies]

14
00:00:50,049 --> 00:00:51,801
[Henrik] Playing here for 15 years…

15
00:00:52,343 --> 00:00:53,344
it was intense.

16
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:55,472
[announcer 1] What a save by Lundqvist!

17
00:00:55,555 --> 00:00:57,766
[announcer 2] Goodness gracious!
What a save!

18
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:03,563
[Henrik] Everything that's happened
over the last year and a half…

19
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:07,942
I think tonight, I just…

20
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:10,945
I look forward to say "Thank you."

21
00:01:11,988 --> 00:01:13,573
[woman] We're gonna go up and around.

22
00:01:13,656 --> 00:01:16,117
How many people will be here tonight?
Look at that!

23
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:17,619
You walk out here…

24
00:01:17,702 --> 00:01:19,329
You're gonna walk over here.

25
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:21,998
-I'll be sitting here.
-[woman] Yes, you'll be sitting there.

26
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:23,833
[announcer] Save by Lundqvist!

27
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:27,253
A couple of talking points
for the press conference.

28
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,672
Let's all put our hands
in the middle here.

29
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,841
-One, two, three…
-[all] Team!

30
00:01:34,886 --> 00:01:38,473
[doctor] We have to think about
there's a risk of death with that,

31
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:40,308
a significant risk.

32
00:01:43,102 --> 00:01:47,273
[crowd chanting] Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

33
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:49,317
[Henrik] This is crushing.

34
00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:53,905
[announcer] Returning to
Madison Square Garden ice…

35
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:55,073
[beeping]

36
00:01:55,907 --> 00:01:57,325
A Rangers legend…

37
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:59,786
[crowd chanting] Henrik! Henrik!

38
00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:02,080
[announcer] A New York icon.

39
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:03,665
Number 30.

40
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:06,417
Henrik Lundqvist!

41
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:07,877
[crowd roaring]

42
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:12,423
[crowd chanting and clapping]
Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

43
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:15,135
Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,386
[crowd noise halts]

45
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:21,558
[kids chattering and laughing]

46
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:23,226
[Henrik] I grew up in Åre,

47
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:27,647
a small town in the middle of Sweden.

48
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:35,029
It's dark when you go to school.

49
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:37,323
Then around 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon,

50
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:39,450
it starts getting dark again.

51
00:02:39,534 --> 00:02:41,661
[somber music playing]

52
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,956
For sure, it affects people.

53
00:02:47,125 --> 00:02:49,252
Maybe a little more reserved.

54
00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:53,339
They talk less, a little slower.

55
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:02,599
But I think they think more
before they speak.

56
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:07,395
[engine starts, revs]

57
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:23,536
[Henrik] For the longest time,
I was seeking performance.

58
00:03:24,162 --> 00:03:27,290
Now I'm seeking life.

59
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:33,129
And the search for what comes next

60
00:03:33,212 --> 00:03:35,006
takes me back to the beginning.

61
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,803
To grow up with a twin brother,

62
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:42,847
we always wanted to do the same thing.

63
00:03:43,681 --> 00:03:46,100
Everything we did, we competed.

64
00:03:46,976 --> 00:03:50,396
We were born with it, like, the…

65
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:54,776
The enjoyment of competing.

66
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:58,363
-[in Swedish] Hey!
-Hiya!

67
00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:00,990
[woman in Swedish]
Losing was not an option.

68
00:04:01,699 --> 00:04:05,161
Maybe one won
and the other had come in second,

69
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:09,499
and the one who won couldn't be happy
because his brother was sad.

70
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,585
-My pulse is going up.
-Yeah.

71
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:17,173
My heart rate went up,
now that it's getting close to it.

72
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:19,676
[sighs]

73
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,053
[Henrik in English] It's hard to say why.

74
00:04:22,136 --> 00:04:26,266
It was not like our parents
pushed us to win or conquer.

75
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:28,851
[gentle music playing]

76
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:35,066
But at the same time,
even at an early age,

77
00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:37,777
it came down to try to win.

78
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:40,905
It was everything.

79
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:49,497
I do think back of how it started.

80
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:52,292
And the journey.

81
00:04:54,585 --> 00:04:57,672
Different teams, different levels,
national team,

82
00:04:57,755 --> 00:05:00,216
and winning championships in Sweden,

83
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,927
for me to get the opportunity
to play my first game

84
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:04,595
at Madison Square Garden.

85
00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:06,389
[dramatic music playing]

86
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:10,893
A very exciting time in my life, being 23,

87
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:14,856
then suddenly I move across
the ocean and start a new life.

88
00:05:15,898 --> 00:05:17,442
[announcer] Winding. Big shot.

89
00:05:17,525 --> 00:05:19,235
Glove save, Lundqvist!

90
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,403
Gomez to the net.

91
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:22,613
Save off the chest of Lundqvist.

92
00:05:22,697 --> 00:05:24,532
Langenbrunner sets up McGillis.

93
00:05:24,615 --> 00:05:26,200
Long shot. Save, Lundqvist.

94
00:05:26,284 --> 00:05:28,786
John Madden to the net.
Madden fakes, shoots.

95
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:31,289
Save, Lundqvist! He's got the puck!

96
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:33,541
[crowd] Henrik! Henrik!

97
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:36,335
[Henrik] I could hear the crowd
chanting my name.

98
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:37,920
And it blew my mind.

99
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:39,839
Henrik!

100
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:43,259
It was absolutely deafening.
Roof almost blew off the Garden.

101
00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:45,136
[announcer] A terrific effort.

102
00:05:45,219 --> 00:05:48,389
And the first NHL win
for Henrik Lundqvist.

103
00:05:48,473 --> 00:05:49,515
[crowd] Henrik!

104
00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:52,268
I wanted to do even more
every game I played.

105
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:55,688
-Because winning was so important.
-[music intensifies]

106
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:58,399
[announcer]
Dumont heads to the net! Dumont!

107
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:00,943
Save by Lundqvist! What a save!

108
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:03,571
The Rangers hadn't made
the playoffs in eight years,

109
00:06:03,654 --> 00:06:07,408
and here we were,
this kinda ragtag group of guys,

110
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:10,036
and now all of a sudden, Hank's,
uh, in the net

111
00:06:10,119 --> 00:06:13,247
and just proving himself
to be a superstar.

112
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:15,333
[announcer]
Finds Zubrus, and a glove save!

113
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:18,086
What a save by Henrik Lundqvist!

114
00:06:18,169 --> 00:06:20,046
Crowd goes nuts.

115
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:21,506
Cue the "Henrik" chant.

116
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:24,050
[announcer] Nice pass, inside.
Lundqvist made a save!

117
00:06:24,133 --> 00:06:26,260
Oh, what a play he made!

118
00:06:26,344 --> 00:06:30,014
Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

119
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:32,433
[Henrik] Hearing the crowd
definitely cut through.

120
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:35,561
It goes deep.

121
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:38,940
It goes all the way into your heart,
and you get warm, excited.

122
00:06:39,023 --> 00:06:42,068
-[crowd] Henrik!
-[announcer 1] He's a rock star.

123
00:06:42,151 --> 00:06:44,821
[announcer 2] The crowd loves him
here at the Garden.

124
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:46,656
[announcer 1] I think he likes it too.

125
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:51,452
It's a dream come true
for an organization like New York

126
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:54,372
where you need that anchor

127
00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:56,833
to start rebuilding
and have something special.

128
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,168
And immediately you had that in this kid.

129
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,586
[crowd] Henrik!

130
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:02,964
[Henrik] My first year in New York,

131
00:07:03,047 --> 00:07:06,467
it really felt like I was living my dream.

132
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:08,469
I got to play in the NHL.

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,224
And I also got an opportunity
to play for my country, Sweden,

134
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:14,725
in the Olympics.

135
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:17,603
[dramatic music playing]

136
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:23,025
With his kind of close-knit
identification with Sweden,

137
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,987
I thought it was so cool, he goes back,
changes jerseys…

138
00:07:27,196 --> 00:07:28,739
"I'm here to win a gold medal."

139
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:32,827
[announcer in Swedish] Lundqvist has
to play his best game of the tournament.

140
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:37,540
[in English] We go up 3-2,
early, third period.

141
00:07:38,082 --> 00:07:41,961
And then Finland tried to push
and come back.

142
00:07:42,044 --> 00:07:45,965
[announcer] Moves in, a drive
off of Lundqvist's shoulder!

143
00:07:46,048 --> 00:07:49,302
[Henrik] Just being that close
to winning Olympic gold,

144
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:53,681
30 seconds to go and-and
the adrenaline is so high.

145
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:56,309
And the puck comes down…

146
00:07:56,392 --> 00:07:58,853
[announcer] Out of the bench area
comes Selänne.

147
00:07:58,936 --> 00:08:01,063
Has it scale to the half boards
and battled for there.

148
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,523
Threw one in front! Save, Lundqvist!

149
00:08:02,607 --> 00:08:04,275
And in that moment,

150
00:08:04,358 --> 00:08:07,195
there's a Finnish player standing there,
and he has a wide-open net.

151
00:08:07,278 --> 00:08:09,489
[announcer] Save, Lundqvist!
Scramble in front!

152
00:08:10,072 --> 00:08:14,410
It was more a desperation move
to get across and reach for it.

153
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,996
[announcer] Oh! Jokinen a shot!

154
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,583
Save remarkably made by Lundqvist!

155
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:24,629
[Henrik] And then
we managed to clear the puck,

156
00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:28,466
and the last few seconds,
the clock ticking down, five…

157
00:08:28,549 --> 00:08:32,178
[announcer] Four seconds, and three,
the gold goes to Sweden!

158
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:34,639
[crowd cheering]

159
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:38,559
[Henrik] And you can just feel
your body's about to

160
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:41,395
explode with emotions.

161
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:43,105
That's what hap… When you win,

162
00:08:43,981 --> 00:08:47,151
you know, that rush
is something that's, uh…

163
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:49,320
It's incredible.

164
00:08:49,403 --> 00:08:51,948
[man] You had a great match.
Congratulations.

165
00:08:53,574 --> 00:08:55,868
I think that put him on the map,
a bit more than,

166
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:58,371
"Wow, this is a good young player
for New York."

167
00:08:58,454 --> 00:09:00,957
This is a superstar in the league.

168
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:03,584
[announcer] And saved by Lundqvist!

169
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:05,378
-Rangers win it!
-[crowd cheering]

170
00:09:05,461 --> 00:09:09,507
Henrik Lundqvist gets his 29th win,

171
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:13,135
and ties the Rangers' rookie record.

172
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:17,640
You had him in there,
playing the way he played.

173
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:21,894
It literally turned the whole trajectory
of the New York Rangers franchise.

174
00:09:21,978 --> 00:09:23,813
[intense music playing]

00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:50,129
And after that, slowly,

348
00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:53,799
you could feel our window was closing.

349
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:56,760
The team started to change a little bit.

350
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,805
Players were leaving.

351
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:04,059
And we were winning less.

352
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:08,021
He would still play well and they'd lose.
He would play amazing and lose.

353
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:09,523
And slowly but surely,

354
00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:11,233
they decided, all right,

355
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:14,319
now's the time to start
breaking this thing down.

356
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:16,405
[reporter] Veteran goalie
Henrik Lundqvist,

357
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:19,449
who has played all 13 seasons
of his NHL career with the Rangers,

358
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:23,120
is committed to sticking around
for the rebuilding process.

359
00:19:23,203 --> 00:19:25,414
He said, "There's no other place
I want to be."

360
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:28,667
"I feel great, excited to be back here
and just see how far

361
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:31,461
we can take this forward this year."

362
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:33,589
I made my commitment.

363
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:37,259
You know, I want to stay in New York,
I want to work through this,

364
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:39,595
and come back on the other side in a way,

365
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:42,681
and be part of that competitive team.

366
00:19:44,391 --> 00:19:48,562
And I could just sense that
that was not really the plan.

367
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:56,111
So my last appearance
at the Garden was a third period.

368
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:58,280
[crowd cheering]

369
00:19:58,363 --> 00:19:59,781
[whistle blows]

370
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,700
I came in in relief.

371
00:20:02,951 --> 00:20:06,371
[arena horn blowing]

372
00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:09,541
I didn't know at the time
that that would be

373
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:11,919
my last period at the Garden. [chuckles]

374
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:16,757
The Rangers clearly
wanted to move on from Hank

375
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,344
to make room for
the next generation of players,

376
00:20:20,427 --> 00:20:23,347
which wasn't easy for him,
and it wasn't easy for them

377
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:27,351
because he was an icon
for the Rangers organization.

378
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:29,686
[contemplative music playing]

379
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:35,692
You could kinda see the writing
on the wall, but it was more…

380
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,863
"It's time for you to move on."

381
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:42,532
Um…

382
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:47,871
[contemplative music continues]

383
00:21:00,008 --> 00:21:01,760
[Henrik] There's something about

384
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:05,597
being in a car and…

385
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:09,184
Just drive.

386
00:21:10,394 --> 00:21:12,271
You don't know where you're going and…

387
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:15,232
I think throughout my life,

388
00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:17,567
I was always going somewhere.

389
00:21:20,904 --> 00:21:22,281
[phone line ringing]

390
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:30,789
[man in Swedish] Hey, it's Jimmy.

391
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:32,416
Hi, it's Hank.

392
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:36,128
[Jimmy] Hey. How are you today?

393
00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:43,427
[in English] Athletes have
the same mind as you,

394
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:46,763
but they probably use it
in a different way,

395
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:49,433
and focus more on one thing.

396
00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:52,602
Like determined,

397
00:21:52,686 --> 00:21:55,230
"This is the thing that's
most important for me,"

398
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:58,191
and then they focus on that.

399
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:01,778
And instead of doing multiple things,

400
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:04,239
they stay with the things
that's most important.

401
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:09,536
[Henrik] It was funny,
I started talking to Jimmy.

402
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:13,999
In our first meeting, you know,
he says, "What do you want?"

403
00:22:14,875 --> 00:22:18,628
Well, right away, I said,
"I-I want to be happy."

404
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:21,340
"Well, that's a choice."

405
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,593
I said, "Not for me."

406
00:22:25,343 --> 00:22:32,350
[Jimmy in Swedish] It is quite rare to
have the kind of career that you've had,

407
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,228
staying in one place for so long.

408
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:38,023
Yes.

409
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:42,235
[in English] Sometimes,
we don't remember that,

410
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:46,364
"I'm a man and I'm here
to have a human experience."

411
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,867
"And what kind of experience
would I like to have?"

412
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,123
[Henrik] It was hard for me to feel like

413
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:57,834
the plan that I had was not gonna…

414
00:22:58,752 --> 00:22:59,878
Um…

415
00:23:00,921 --> 00:23:02,964
It was not gonna be that way.

416
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:05,300
Um…

417
00:23:07,969 --> 00:23:09,471
[sighs]

418
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:13,600
[Jimmy] It sounds a bit funny, but it's
really the case that when we have an image

419
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:15,185
of how we should be,

420
00:23:16,311 --> 00:23:21,024
and when we feel like we didn't achieve
what we had envisioned,

421
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,652
this can become very challenging.

422
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:25,320
Exactly that.

423
00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:30,700
[Henrik in English]
I realized that I need to change

424
00:23:31,993 --> 00:23:33,829
my system a little bit.

425
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:38,834
Change the way I saw happiness, in a way.

426
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:41,920
Like, I couldn't continue,

427
00:23:43,171 --> 00:23:46,591
you know, depend on success
to be really happy.

428
00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:48,802
I wanted to be happy for no reason.

429
00:23:48,885 --> 00:23:52,597
[waves lapping gently]

430
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:56,309
[Jimmy in Swedish] I've been thinking
about winning and losing.

431
00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:01,106
Isn't the definition of what winning is

432
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:03,900
based on what you, yourself,
want it to be?

433
00:24:08,238 --> 00:24:13,285
I think it depends on
how you define what winning is.

434
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:17,706
What do you think?
Then it's about what you experience--

435
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:22,335
You can feel like a winner,
even if you don't win all the time.

436
00:24:23,712 --> 00:24:25,755
But, in the end…

437
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:31,636
it becomes quite clear
if you've won or not.

438
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,639
One could say
that you've won New York's heart.

439
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:40,729
As an athlete, you are very much
appreciated in New York.

440
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:42,898
Uh…

441
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:43,899
Yes.

442
00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:45,066
Then you've won.

443
00:24:46,234 --> 00:24:47,986
[dramatic music playing]

444
00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:51,907
[Henrik in English]
So, part of the rebuild,

445
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:53,950
the next generation of players,

446
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:56,745
I was free to go

447
00:24:58,205 --> 00:24:59,998
somewhere else to play,

448
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:02,209
or hang it up.

449
00:25:05,712 --> 00:25:08,673
I was definitely
leaning towards retirement.

450
00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:12,719
I struggled so much, going back and forth,

451
00:25:12,802 --> 00:25:15,138
"Should I play? Should I not?"

452
00:25:15,222 --> 00:25:19,476
I couldn't really see myself
play anywhere else.

453
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,311
I had a conversation with him.

454
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:25,357
And he said, "What calls an athlete

455
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,651
is the reason you got involved
in the first place."

456
00:25:27,734 --> 00:25:29,819
It's the love of the game.

457
00:25:29,903 --> 00:25:31,988
The hunt to be great.

458
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:34,699
And you've worked your whole life.

459
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:38,620
The muscle between your ears
is the strongest it's ever been.

460
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:45,001
Hank had achieved so much,
but he was a better goalie.

461
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:48,755
His reads were better,
his understanding of the game was better.

462
00:25:49,506 --> 00:25:53,385
And so to give that up after
literally a lifetime of work

463
00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:55,887
is really, really difficult to do.

464
00:25:57,055 --> 00:25:58,974
And you could hear that in his voice.

465
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:04,729
I still felt like I should go
to the rink and just try it out.

466
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:08,817
So I started going to the rink
up in Jersey.

467
00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:11,778
Skating every day,

468
00:26:11,861 --> 00:26:16,241
and I realized how much I love the game
and how much I love to compete.

469
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:19,953
So I decided, "No, I want to play."

470
00:26:23,456 --> 00:26:25,625
I heard there was a lot
of rumors about him

471
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,378
maybe signing here
with the Washington Capitals.

472
00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:31,298
Going to the Capitals
seemed like the perfect fit.

473
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:34,342
Here they were with
an outstanding core of players.

474
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:37,637
They're a consistent contender
that could use a goalie.

475
00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:42,767
[Henrik] I decided to sign in Washington.
I felt like this is a new chapter.

476
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:44,102
[distant siren wailing]

477
00:26:44,185 --> 00:26:46,271
[indistinct chatter]

478
00:26:47,856 --> 00:26:50,108
[Therese snorts, laughs]

479
00:26:50,191 --> 00:26:52,110
He was calling me,
and I could hear in his voice

480
00:26:52,193 --> 00:26:55,613
how excited he was about,
you know, a change of scenery,

481
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:58,616
coming to a team
that was competing for the Cup.

482
00:26:58,700 --> 00:26:59,701
[girls laughing]

483
00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:02,412
Checking out the new surroundings.

484
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,081
[girl] Daddy!

485
00:27:05,165 --> 00:27:06,750
It looks good.

486
00:27:06,833 --> 00:27:08,710
And the girls are doing gymnastics.

487
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:11,629
And over here, we've got, uh…

488
00:27:14,674 --> 00:27:16,343
the big house.

489
00:27:16,426 --> 00:27:20,430
We all thought it was gonna be
a bit of a facelift for him

490
00:27:20,513 --> 00:27:24,726
to kinda go from a rebuilding team
to a team that was competing.

491
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:27,103
Our goal was to win the Cup.

492
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:30,398
And he knew that this team
was one of the teams

493
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,901
that had the opportunity
to do it that year.

494
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:34,194
[bright music playing]

495
00:27:34,277 --> 00:27:36,988
They were looking around
for a place to live.

496
00:27:37,072 --> 00:27:38,990
They actually stayed at my house.

497
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:41,576
Their entire family stayed over,
they're all excited.

498
00:27:41,659 --> 00:27:44,329
[girls laughing]

499
00:27:49,167 --> 00:27:51,711
When he signed with us,
he came here, he skated.

500
00:27:51,795 --> 00:27:54,005
[mellow music playing]

501
00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:57,217
Everyone was pumped up
for the King to come here.

502
00:27:59,386 --> 00:28:01,429
You could see how hard he was working.

503
00:28:02,722 --> 00:28:06,518
The guys were really saying, "Okay,
this guy is the real deal" in practice.

504
00:28:09,062 --> 00:28:12,023
[Nicklas] He looked great,
and he looked motivated.

505
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:14,776
He didn't let in
a lot of goals, that's for sure.

506
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:19,406
It was a good chance for him to be
our number one goalie.

507
00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:23,118
[blows air] Yo, expectations in D.C.,

508
00:28:23,201 --> 00:28:24,786
"Yeah, we're ready to go."

509
00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:26,496
"Now we get Henrik Lundqvist?"

510
00:28:26,579 --> 00:28:28,081
"Step on the gas."

511
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:33,878
I also wanted to prove to myself
and to other people

512
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,713
that I could still do it.

513
00:28:36,464 --> 00:28:39,676
You know, it was a bumpy, bumpy end…

514
00:28:41,511 --> 00:28:45,306
in New York, so I felt like
I had a lot more to give.

515
00:28:46,099 --> 00:28:49,352
-Checking in for blood work. Lundqvist.
-[woman] Name?

516
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:52,564
L-U-N-D-Q-V-I-S-T.

517
00:28:52,647 --> 00:28:54,357
When you get signed by a new team,

518
00:28:54,441 --> 00:28:59,487
you do physical testing
and you go over everything.

519
00:29:00,989 --> 00:29:01,948
[monitor beeping]

520
00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:05,869
And they could hear something,
so I had to go in for a test.

521
00:29:06,619 --> 00:29:09,080
And they found, uh,

522
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:11,833
a leak, um, in my heart.

523
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:14,252
[tense music playing]

524
00:29:15,795 --> 00:29:18,631
For a long time, I knew I had a condition.

525
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:20,967
A small issue.

526
00:29:21,634 --> 00:29:23,303
Never thought about it.

527
00:29:23,386 --> 00:29:25,221
No symptoms.

528
00:29:26,222 --> 00:29:28,183
Felt great on the ice.

529
00:29:30,059 --> 00:29:31,603
I did notice that fall, though,

530
00:29:31,686 --> 00:29:33,897
every time I was home,
walking up the stairs,

531
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,940
I got really… I got tired.

532
00:29:36,483 --> 00:29:39,861
Um, that was the only time
I really thought about it.

533
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:43,448
On the ice, I'm used to getting tired,
so I didn't think much of it.

534
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:46,743
And there was a lot of tests.

535
00:29:46,826 --> 00:29:50,914
Scans and conversations
with different doctors.

536
00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:54,501
[Carl] They had to do some tests.

537
00:29:54,584 --> 00:29:57,212
He didn't really specify
what was going on,

538
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:59,464
but, uh, he came home one day

539
00:29:59,547 --> 00:30:01,674
and you could see
there was something going on.

540
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:05,804
He was kind of chatting…
chatting with his wife, Therese, quietly.

541
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:09,682
And I could see that there was…
You could sense there was something wrong.

542
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:11,309
And I remember…

543
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:15,313
I went downstairs to pack my bags,

544
00:30:15,396 --> 00:30:18,274
brought up all the big bags
to make the move

545
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:20,068
in two days.

546
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:21,444
Um…

547
00:30:21,528 --> 00:30:24,030
And we had a big call with the doctors,

548
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:26,074
and all the tests came back.

549
00:30:28,576 --> 00:30:30,912
[doctor] The aorta being
that size concerns us

550
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:33,581
particularly in someone
who is playing, you know…

551
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:36,793
I appreciate that you're a goalie,
you have protective padding,

552
00:30:36,876 --> 00:30:39,879
but there's still a potential
to take some hits there.

553
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:42,090
Not far behind that in my mind is,

554
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:44,092
is the narrowing of that aortic valve.

555
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:47,720
With the aorta, the risk is dissection,
tearing of the blood vessel.

556
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:49,556
There's a risk of death with that,

557
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:51,349
a significant risk.

558
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:53,434
But then the narrowing of the valve,

559
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:55,728
the risk is you're not getting
enough blood supply

560
00:30:55,812 --> 00:30:56,896
to the heart muscle

561
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,774
when you're exercising
at the very extremes.

562
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:04,279
And that can increase the risk of
abnormal rhythms and sudden death.

563
00:31:05,655 --> 00:31:07,365
[Henrik] If… If…

564
00:31:07,448 --> 00:31:09,325
If I was your brother…

565
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:12,161
would you tell me not to play?

566
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:14,789
[doctor] I would.

567
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:18,918
[Henrik] Yeah.

568
00:31:19,002 --> 00:31:20,753
[soft, emotional music playing]

569
00:31:20,837 --> 00:31:22,046
Uh… [clears throat]

570
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:24,924
[breathing over phone line]

571
00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:26,551
[Henrik's voice breaks] Um…

572
00:31:28,636 --> 00:31:31,014
Uh, what-- what about…? [sighs]

573
00:31:32,390 --> 00:31:34,017
Like surgery?

574
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:35,560
Um…

575
00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:39,981
[sighs] Is there anything
you could do now, and then…?

576
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:45,987
You know, how long is the process
to get back after surgery?

577
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,283
[doctor] I think this is
a pretty big surgery for you.

578
00:31:50,366 --> 00:31:51,910
And the idea of coming back

579
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:54,787
is probably not something
in your best interest

580
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:56,539
after a big surgery like this.

581
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:58,917
[emotional music swells]

582
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:01,711
[Henrik sighs deeply]

583
00:32:03,713 --> 00:32:07,133
Oh, it's hard, man, I've been so…

584
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:09,928
inspired and motivated.

585
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:17,477
This is crushing.

586
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:20,980
[emotional music continues]

587
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:31,032
[crowd cheering]

588
00:32:35,536 --> 00:32:38,039
[Henrik] Me not playing hockey, who…

589
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:39,707
Who am I?

590
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:41,501
[cheering continues]

591
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:49,258
[Jimmy in Swedish] And then it's like, if
we take self-esteem, what's that for you?

592
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:53,096
[gentle music playing]

593
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:54,472
Self-esteem.

594
00:32:54,555 --> 00:32:55,932
Um…

595
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,436
Our thoughts about ourselves.

596
00:33:04,524 --> 00:33:06,609
[Henrik] The idea of ourselves. Yes.

597
00:33:09,028 --> 00:33:12,824
[Jimmy] If we have dominant thoughts
about ourselves, that we are valuable

598
00:33:12,907 --> 00:33:16,327
and we are worthy of what we want,
we think highly of ourselves…

599
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:20,748
then the probability is higher
for us to choose to be…

600
00:33:21,582 --> 00:33:25,169
loving to ourselves, of course,
but also to be able to make decisions

601
00:33:25,253 --> 00:33:28,089
and commit to actions that promote that.

602
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:32,510
[in English] It was hard to believe

603
00:33:32,593 --> 00:33:35,138
that it was happening when it happened

604
00:33:35,221 --> 00:33:37,974
'cause everything was just
falling into place…

605
00:33:38,891 --> 00:33:43,688
But it was definitely challenging mentally

606
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:47,400
to deal with those emotions and…

607
00:33:49,277 --> 00:33:51,946
not to get angry or…

608
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:54,824
too disappointed.

609
00:33:56,659 --> 00:33:59,162
The next step was just to

610
00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:03,416
figure out where and when
to have the surgery.

611
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:05,752
And through our conversations with…

612
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:09,005
um, the different doctors,

613
00:34:09,797 --> 00:34:13,634
Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Roselli
sounded like the best option.

614
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:16,345
I connected with the other
docs involved in the case,

615
00:34:16,429 --> 00:34:19,849
talked with them, made sure we had
a nice communication going on.

616
00:34:19,932 --> 00:34:22,560
And then I connected with
Henrik and his wife.

617
00:34:22,643 --> 00:34:26,898
You probably had an even more
abnormal valve

618
00:34:26,981 --> 00:34:29,275
than the typical bicuspid valve.

619
00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:32,111
And the calcium has kind of built up

620
00:34:32,195 --> 00:34:33,821
all across that valve.

621
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,741
And so that explains why your valve

622
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,409
has failed at such a young age.

623
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:40,369
Thirty-eight is really young.

624
00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:44,373
I know they're telling you after 15 years
in New York, you're going to--

625
00:34:44,457 --> 00:34:46,292
you're an old goaltender,
they're telling you.

626
00:34:46,375 --> 00:34:47,835
But you're a young man.

627
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,046
-You're really young, okay?
-[Henrik] Yeah.

628
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:53,091
[Eric] And I'd love to see you
play hockey again.

629
00:34:53,174 --> 00:34:56,469
But if we let your heart fight
against that valve

630
00:34:56,552 --> 00:35:00,181
that's not opening very well for too long,

631
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:03,726
you can develop changes
in the muscle of your heart

632
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:06,312
that will limit your overall lifespan.

633
00:35:06,395 --> 00:35:09,190
Basically, your heart
is working like someone

634
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:12,652
that's exercising kinda all day long,

635
00:35:12,735 --> 00:35:15,113
even when you're just
sitting here at rest.

636
00:35:15,196 --> 00:35:18,491
Because your heart's fighting against
that valve that doesn't open.

637
00:35:18,574 --> 00:35:21,786
And then the concern is when
you're really pushing yourself hard,

638
00:35:21,869 --> 00:35:23,621
like you do in a game,

639
00:35:23,704 --> 00:35:27,750
if your heart hits the sort of peak where
you just can't get enough

640
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:29,627
blood flow to that heart

641
00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:33,047
that's now thickened
and kind of working so hard,

642
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,383
you could have
a really bad problem, you know.

643
00:35:35,466 --> 00:35:36,759
You could die from that.

644
00:35:37,426 --> 00:35:40,012
We got to either do something
about your valve,

645
00:35:40,513 --> 00:35:42,265
or put your game at rest.

646
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,312
Hey, Caps fans. Um…

647
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:51,232
Today is a pretty emotional and tough day.

648
00:35:51,315 --> 00:35:52,358
Um…

649
00:35:53,609 --> 00:35:54,819
For several weeks now,

650
00:35:54,902 --> 00:35:57,446
I've been undergoing
different types of tests

651
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:59,699
related to a heart condition.

652
00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:04,370
And after lots of discussions
with doctors around the country,

653
00:36:04,453 --> 00:36:07,707
and finally receiving the last results
early this week,

654
00:36:08,374 --> 00:36:12,879
um, I unfortunately won't be able
to join the team this year.

655
00:36:12,962 --> 00:36:15,214
[somber music playing]

656
00:36:22,471 --> 00:36:25,558
There's no point of
getting ahead of myself

657
00:36:25,641 --> 00:36:29,270
or trying to figure out
how it was gonna be. I just…

658
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:31,856
Let's make the most
of Christmas and New Year's,

659
00:36:31,939 --> 00:36:37,111
and then prepare for Cleveland
when it's time to do that.

660
00:36:40,072 --> 00:36:41,282
[jubilant laughter]

661
00:36:41,365 --> 00:36:42,909
[in Swedish] What a party!

662
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:45,203
What a year, wow!

663
00:36:45,286 --> 00:36:46,954
Cheers, happy new year!

664
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:49,040
We're at the party of the year!

665
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:51,667
-Take care.
-No, we're not.

666
00:36:51,751 --> 00:36:55,338
-Hang up now, she's not filming--
-He's crazy!

667
00:36:55,421 --> 00:36:57,798
Nobody is watching this.

668
00:36:57,882 --> 00:36:59,175
[in English] Crazy!

669
00:36:59,258 --> 00:37:00,509
[in Swedish] He's crazy!

670
00:37:01,594 --> 00:37:06,057
[Henrik] New Year's Eve, 2020.

671
00:37:09,185 --> 00:37:11,187
-Hello, Charlise.
-Hi.

672
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:16,275
[Henrik] Juli? What do you think
has been good in 2020?

673
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:21,822
What's good is that we're
about to build a new apartment.

674
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,115
That's exciting!

675
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,743
[Henrik] A new home. Our new home.

676
00:37:27,536 --> 00:37:30,248
[in English] I needed the surgery.
The question was,

677
00:37:31,123 --> 00:37:32,458
"How fast?"

678
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:35,670
Uh, we probably could have waited
a few months,

679
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:39,507
but I told them, "Let's do it
as quick as possible

680
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:41,425
so I have time to get back."

681
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:43,469
[jet engine idling]

682
00:37:43,552 --> 00:37:44,762
[Henrik] Hola!

683
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:47,348
-[Charlise] Hola!
-[Henrik] Hola?

684
00:37:47,431 --> 00:37:49,433
-Amigos!
-[Juli] This is my background.

685
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,559
[Henrik] Hola.

686
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,395
Hola!

687
00:37:53,229 --> 00:37:54,355
Hi!

688
00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:56,816
-[engine roaring]
-Cleveland, here we come!

689
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:02,113
[woman] So you can have one
designated visitor.

690
00:38:02,196 --> 00:38:05,658
They want it to be the same person,
so it sounds like it's gonna be your wife.

691
00:38:05,741 --> 00:38:06,701
[Henrik] Yup.

692
00:38:06,784 --> 00:38:09,161
[woman] She can come with you
the day of surgery

693
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:12,373
and then stay here in the hospital
while you're in surgery,

694
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:13,958
and meet with Dr. Roselli

695
00:38:14,041 --> 00:38:16,585
and then be able to see you after surgery.

696
00:38:16,669 --> 00:38:17,962
[Henrik] Okay, great.

697
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,132
And then

698
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:23,676
I went into my bubble.

699
00:38:25,761 --> 00:38:29,890
I've had a lot of injuries,
but nothing with the heart.

700
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:33,102
And it felt so much scarier,

701
00:38:33,185 --> 00:38:36,772
and just talking about
how they're going to do it.

702
00:38:36,856 --> 00:38:38,316
[tense music playing]

703
00:38:38,399 --> 00:38:40,735
[Kevin] You see him
as being superhuman, right?

704
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:44,030
Does anybody ever see Superman
get surgery? No.

705
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:46,615
You ever see Wonder Woman get surgery? No.

706
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:49,785
So now you're seeing something
that's a completely different movie.

707
00:38:49,869 --> 00:38:52,038
And not movie, reality!

708
00:38:53,289 --> 00:38:55,124
[in Swedish] It was a tough surgery.

709
00:38:55,207 --> 00:38:57,585
I know this, I'm a physiotherapist.

710
00:38:57,668 --> 00:38:59,503
I know how a heart works.

711
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,797
I knew what was wrong with him.

712
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:04,467
I knew it was a very dangerous operation.

713
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:05,885
Major surgery.

714
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:07,678
[music fades]

715
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:10,556
[heart monitor beeping steadily]

716
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,309
-[hospital din sounds, fades]
-[beeping continues]

717
00:39:16,270 --> 00:39:18,981
-[rapid beeping]
-[heart monitor beeping continues]

718
00:39:19,065 --> 00:39:21,942
-[surgeons chattering]
-[beeping continues]

719
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:24,570
-[whirring]
-[scattered beeping sounds]

720
00:39:24,653 --> 00:39:27,865
[steady beeping continues]

721
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:33,412
[faint sighing voice]

722
00:39:37,166 --> 00:39:38,959
[door opens]

723
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:40,711
-[Therese] Hello.
-[Eric] Hi.

724
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:42,588
We're all done. Everything went great.

725
00:39:42,671 --> 00:39:44,465
-[Therese] Okay, great.
-No problems at all.

726
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:47,259
-Oh, thank you.
-Yeah, his valve was awful,

727
00:39:47,343 --> 00:39:48,928
-as we expected.
-Oh, yeah? Yeah.

728
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:52,390
Um, I think he's really gonna
feel a whole lot better now…

729
00:39:52,473 --> 00:39:54,183
-[Therese] Great.
-…with the new valve.

730
00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:57,686
I mean, there's no question
this was the right thing to do.

731
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:00,398
[Therese] I've been so nervous
the whole day! Oh!

732
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:01,565
I can breathe again.

733
00:40:01,649 --> 00:40:03,317
-[Eric] Yeah.
-Right? A little at least?

734
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:04,568
-Yeah.
-[Therese] Yeah.

735
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:11,117
The next thing I know is that
I wake up and I see Therese.

736
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:14,245
And I said, "How was your day?"

737
00:40:14,328 --> 00:40:15,496
[chuckles]

738
00:40:16,163 --> 00:40:18,165
Her day was very different to mine.

739
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:21,168
I think she had a tougher day than me.

740
00:40:23,754 --> 00:40:29,552
[in Swedish] It was pretty easy somehow
after the surgery…

741
00:40:29,635 --> 00:40:32,972
my daily life.

742
00:40:33,055 --> 00:40:34,640
Why do you think that is?

743
00:40:37,059 --> 00:40:40,312
I thought almost nothing
about the future at first.

744
00:40:41,063 --> 00:40:43,315
I think you were just happy to be alive.

745
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:48,654
Yes.

746
00:40:48,737 --> 00:40:51,490
He was doing great at first,

747
00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:54,243
and then he had a stage
when he couldn't eat or anything.

748
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,038
I just said, "You have to get up."

749
00:40:58,122 --> 00:41:01,250
"You have to get up and walk.
You have to get on your feet."

750
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:04,753
You can't lie in bed and just say,
"I can't take it, I can't take it."

751
00:41:04,837 --> 00:41:07,465
"I don't want to eat,
I don't want to walk."

752
00:41:07,548 --> 00:41:09,467
"Up!" I said.

753
00:41:09,550 --> 00:41:11,469
"Now you just have to walk."

754
00:41:13,762 --> 00:41:17,308
[in English] To see him in FaceTime
and hear him, how he talked,

755
00:41:17,391 --> 00:41:19,435
and how he moved,

756
00:41:19,518 --> 00:41:23,522
uh, from a top athlete to that, it was…

757
00:41:24,273 --> 00:41:25,107
It was tough.

758
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:31,947
Get up and walk with a walker,
and get the heart working a little bit.

759
00:41:32,031 --> 00:41:34,450
And after a few days, I managed to walk

760
00:41:34,533 --> 00:41:37,077
all the way around the front desk.

761
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:40,956
[woman] I'm sure we'll kick you guys
out of here soon. Get home.

762
00:41:41,957 --> 00:41:44,043
[Henrik] You could feel the progress.

763
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:48,380
Even though if they were small,
it was still a boost for your confidence.

764
00:41:49,215 --> 00:41:51,050
[woman] Hold your horses.

765
00:41:52,801 --> 00:41:54,720
[Henrik] It felt like a game almost,

766
00:41:54,803 --> 00:41:57,473
like how focused I was on recovery.

767
00:41:57,556 --> 00:42:00,434
[indistinct chatter]

768
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:02,144
[walker wheels rattling]

769
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:04,230
[gentle music playing]

770
00:42:09,151 --> 00:42:10,653
[Henrik] It was, um…

771
00:42:11,904 --> 00:42:13,489
strange.

772
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:15,908
Strange to be there and to go through it.

773
00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:20,412
But in a way,

774
00:42:20,496 --> 00:42:23,415
I kinda locked all the emotions until

775
00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:25,876
I left the hospital.

776
00:42:30,506 --> 00:42:32,466
They looked so cute. [chuckles softly]

777
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:34,093
They looked amazing.

778
00:42:35,511 --> 00:42:37,304
[indistinct chatter]

779
00:42:37,388 --> 00:42:39,390
[gentle music continues]

780
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:45,854
[Henrik] And now it felt like
all those emotions,

781
00:42:45,938 --> 00:42:48,857
the stress and fear and sadness,
maybe, I don't know,

782
00:42:48,941 --> 00:42:50,359
need to come out.

783
00:42:50,442 --> 00:42:52,528
[Juli] Why's it so cold out here?

784
00:42:54,780 --> 00:42:56,782
Played for three minutes,

785
00:42:56,865 --> 00:42:58,742
and then take two-minute break.

786
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:00,160
[chuckles, sighs]

787
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,580
Step by step, right?

788
00:43:03,622 --> 00:43:06,375
Nice weather in Cleveland right now.

789
00:43:06,458 --> 00:43:07,835
[girls chattering]

790
00:43:07,918 --> 00:43:11,088
The whole experience was overwhelming.

791
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:15,759
I was crying.

792
00:43:19,763 --> 00:43:21,807
And I couldn't really tell
why I was crying.

793
00:43:21,890 --> 00:43:23,642
I was just crying for…

794
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:28,897
a couple hours a day.

795
00:43:32,192 --> 00:43:35,195
And then when you let that wall down,
that's when you really…

796
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,281
Oof.

797
00:43:38,198 --> 00:43:39,908
You let it all out.

798
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:45,039
Past nine days, uh…

799
00:43:46,165 --> 00:43:47,750
Pretty challenging.

800
00:43:47,833 --> 00:43:48,792
Uh…

801
00:43:49,460 --> 00:43:51,253
[clears throat] I experienced things

802
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:54,089
I didn't think I would
experience in my life.

803
00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:56,133
Um…

804
00:43:57,593 --> 00:43:59,345
But it's a good challenge now

805
00:43:59,428 --> 00:44:00,512
to see

806
00:44:01,847 --> 00:44:04,350
how I can come back, what level.

807
00:44:05,517 --> 00:44:09,146
Then we'll see if there will be
more hockey or not, but…

808
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:13,484
It'll be a slow process,
especially the first few weeks.

809
00:44:14,902 --> 00:44:16,236
I don't know if it was

810
00:44:16,987 --> 00:44:19,073
because I worked on myself
throughout the year,

811
00:44:19,156 --> 00:44:22,576
that it wasn't hard
to feel lucky and grateful.

812
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:25,287
It wasn't hard at all.

813
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:29,208
-[jet engine idling]
-Uh, day 13…

814
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:32,628
since, uh, surgery.

815
00:44:35,547 --> 00:44:39,301
Uh, checkup yesterday
at hospital was great.

816
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:40,844
Everything looked good.

817
00:44:41,845 --> 00:44:44,890
Time to go back to New York
and start rehab.

818
00:44:44,973 --> 00:44:45,933
Um…

819
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:48,769
And we'll see how long it takes.

820
00:44:49,645 --> 00:44:53,023
It's been kind of a crazy experience,
that's for sure. Uh…

821
00:44:54,566 --> 00:44:57,569
Sometimes I look at the scar, and it's…

822
00:44:58,445 --> 00:45:01,240
kinda surreal that
it happened, but it did.

823
00:45:02,157 --> 00:45:03,784
Let's move forward.

824
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:08,997
What do you think?
It's been a good trip, right?

825
00:45:12,292 --> 00:45:15,546
Turned it into a nice family vacation.

826
00:45:16,713 --> 00:45:20,092
-Did we, though?
-Did we, though? [laughs]

827
00:45:20,175 --> 00:45:21,343
All right.

828
00:45:22,886 --> 00:45:24,304
See you, Cleveland.

829
00:45:24,388 --> 00:45:26,640
[jet engine roaring]

830
00:45:26,723 --> 00:45:28,225
It's been good.

831
00:45:29,935 --> 00:45:31,395
Time to recover.

832
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:36,942
[in Swedish] Right after the operation,
I lived so much in the present

833
00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:41,113
that I didn't think much
about things that needed to be done,

834
00:45:41,196 --> 00:45:42,781
or what had happened, either.

835
00:45:42,865 --> 00:45:46,618
I was just there,
and that was a sense of calm…

836
00:45:48,036 --> 00:45:51,165
I want to recreate that all the time.

837
00:45:51,748 --> 00:45:54,293
[in English] It's almost
two and half weeks.

838
00:45:55,794 --> 00:45:58,964
Uh, it's time for my daily workout.

839
00:46:01,717 --> 00:46:03,469
I walk around the apartment.

840
00:46:03,552 --> 00:46:05,262
[laughs]

841
00:46:05,804 --> 00:46:08,599
They told me the first focus
should be of you coming back

842
00:46:08,682 --> 00:46:10,476
as a human being,

843
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:12,311
and not as a hockey player.

844
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:15,898
I think part of me is like,

845
00:46:15,981 --> 00:46:17,107
"Yeah, yeah."

846
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:19,776
"But I will come back as a hockey player."

847
00:46:20,861 --> 00:46:23,113
Can't really use my arms too much.

848
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:28,952
Still healing my chest here
for another three, four weeks.

849
00:46:29,036 --> 00:46:30,537
I love a good challenge.

850
00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:32,748
And to try to come back

851
00:46:32,831 --> 00:46:36,668
and see if I can play at a high level,

852
00:46:36,752 --> 00:46:37,961
that was my goal.

853
00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:41,256
Trying to stay positive and…

854
00:46:42,090 --> 00:46:43,383
um…

855
00:46:44,801 --> 00:46:47,513
Yeah, I'll keep walking.

856
00:46:47,596 --> 00:46:49,097
[somber music playing]

857
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:54,269
So the procedure is, you know,
they open up your chest,

858
00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:57,147
and they replace a piece of your valve.

859
00:46:57,231 --> 00:47:01,985
And they put in a tube that
replaced part of your aorta.

860
00:47:03,946 --> 00:47:05,906
The one concern, obviously,

861
00:47:05,989 --> 00:47:09,243
when you open up your chest
is, um, contact.

862
00:47:10,202 --> 00:47:12,371
You gotta be careful, you know…

863
00:47:13,413 --> 00:47:15,249
So not allowed to drive for a while,

864
00:47:15,332 --> 00:47:17,334
or obviously be on the ice for a while

865
00:47:17,417 --> 00:47:19,628
after surgery because of contact.

866
00:47:20,587 --> 00:47:22,422
But I did ask about that,

867
00:47:22,506 --> 00:47:24,925
and he said, "We're going to put
in a couple of extra plates,

868
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,427
so don't worry about that." [chuckles]

869
00:47:27,511 --> 00:47:28,971
I guess cause it's Henrik Lundqvist,

870
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:31,765
and I'm thinking about him having,
you know, um,

871
00:47:31,848 --> 00:47:33,141
hockey pucks fired at his chest.

872
00:47:33,934 --> 00:47:35,894
[Henrik] How many plates
did you put in there?

873
00:47:35,978 --> 00:47:38,063
-Was it, like, a couple?
-[Eric] Three.

874
00:47:38,146 --> 00:47:39,481
-Looks pretty good.
-Yeah.

875
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:41,567
I mean, it's strong and everything, but…

876
00:47:42,234 --> 00:47:45,487
[Henrik] I don't think Therese
was 100% convinced

877
00:47:45,571 --> 00:47:48,574
that I should be back playing
at some point.

878
00:47:50,158 --> 00:47:52,452
But that was my goal. It really was.

879
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:55,205
[hopeful music playing]

880
00:47:56,748 --> 00:47:59,835
After the biggest shock went away…

881
00:47:59,918 --> 00:48:01,128
[dog grumbles]

882
00:48:01,795 --> 00:48:03,922
…it's a good feeling when you feel like,

883
00:48:04,006 --> 00:48:07,843
"It's up to me now to make the next step."

884
00:48:10,304 --> 00:48:11,888
It's up to me.

885
00:48:14,933 --> 00:48:16,768
Every day I felt a little better.

886
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:19,563
And talking to the doctors,

887
00:48:19,646 --> 00:48:22,149
"You feel like that?
Now you can add this."

888
00:48:30,407 --> 00:48:32,826
After almost seven weeks,

889
00:48:32,909 --> 00:48:36,079
that's when I felt like I was ready
to be back on the ice.

890
00:48:37,372 --> 00:48:39,583
And that was an incredible feeling.

891
00:48:42,127 --> 00:48:44,713
Put my gear on and be out there and…

892
00:48:44,796 --> 00:48:46,548
I couldn't believe it.

893
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,681
Like, this guy actually got up
off open-heart surgery…

894
00:48:55,557 --> 00:48:58,935
44 whatever days ago,
and he's back on the ice,

895
00:48:59,019 --> 00:49:00,896
looking like nothing happened.

896
00:49:01,396 --> 00:49:03,148
Who does that?

897
00:49:05,651 --> 00:49:08,445
The love for the game was just so strong.

898
00:49:13,158 --> 00:49:15,786
I'm on the ice here in New York.

899
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:18,664
I skated for a month and I felt great.

900
00:49:19,164 --> 00:49:21,708
Every day, every week,
I felt better and better,

901
00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:23,585
stronger and stronger and…

902
00:49:25,170 --> 00:49:27,631
By then, I started talking
to Washington about,

903
00:49:27,714 --> 00:49:30,592
"I'm gonna join you guys,
I'm coming back," and…

904
00:49:31,343 --> 00:49:32,260
um…

905
00:49:33,303 --> 00:49:34,304
"It will happen."

906
00:49:34,388 --> 00:49:36,515
[breathing rapidly]

907
00:49:38,141 --> 00:49:40,018
And one day, I…

908
00:49:40,936 --> 00:49:43,855
just feel massive pain in my chest,

909
00:49:43,939 --> 00:49:45,649
out my back.

910
00:49:45,732 --> 00:49:48,360
It felt like someone stabbed me almost.

911
00:49:48,443 --> 00:49:50,278
[tense music playing]

912
00:49:51,321 --> 00:49:54,741
Um, felt sick for four or five days.

913
00:49:56,535 --> 00:49:58,328
I wasn't sure if I'd pulled something.

914
00:49:58,412 --> 00:50:00,455
I thought maybe because
they opened up my chest,

915
00:50:00,539 --> 00:50:02,958
that I pulled a muscle or something.

916
00:50:06,545 --> 00:50:11,383
And this is the same week
I was about to join Washington

917
00:50:11,466 --> 00:50:14,302
to come back to playing.

918
00:50:15,262 --> 00:50:18,515
And at the same time,
I had my three-month checkup

919
00:50:18,598 --> 00:50:21,518
in Cleveland for my surgery.

920
00:50:22,728 --> 00:50:23,937
On a Friday,

921
00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:27,357
I'm going to Cleveland
for my three-month checkup.

922
00:50:28,567 --> 00:50:32,154
I'm flying back to New York,
packing, and on that Sunday,

923
00:50:32,237 --> 00:50:33,947
I'm going to Washington.

924
00:50:34,656 --> 00:50:37,242
[over PA] At this time, we start
boarding our Comfort Plus.

925
00:50:37,325 --> 00:50:39,953
Comfort Plus, you are welcome
to board at this time.

926
00:50:40,036 --> 00:50:42,497
Go to Cleveland and…

927
00:50:43,832 --> 00:50:45,208
Bunch of tests.

928
00:50:47,669 --> 00:50:50,964
And we found that I had pericarditis,

929
00:50:51,673 --> 00:50:54,551
which is inflammation around your heart.

930
00:50:56,762 --> 00:50:59,306
And it went from

931
00:51:00,432 --> 00:51:04,603
flying back to New York, pack my car,
and go to Washington to…

932
00:51:05,479 --> 00:51:07,355
pretty much,
"Don't move for three months."

933
00:51:10,108 --> 00:51:12,694
[Eric] Pericarditis is very symptomatic.

934
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:16,031
And the real bummer for him
is when you increase your activity,

935
00:51:16,114 --> 00:51:19,075
you can irritate the space
around the heart.

936
00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:21,119
And that sets the pericarditis off,

937
00:51:21,203 --> 00:51:24,581
so we had to have him just really
kind of relax and calm down.

938
00:51:25,415 --> 00:51:27,751
[man] We told him it's time to dial back,

939
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:32,047
and really be virtually inactive,
other than walking the kids to school,

940
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:33,673
for another three more months.

941
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:36,218
It's not constant.
It's more like when I move,

942
00:51:36,301 --> 00:51:40,180
it feels like there's some
pressure sometimes or…

943
00:51:40,263 --> 00:51:43,475
But it's not constant
so it could be for just a little bit

944
00:51:43,558 --> 00:51:44,559
when I move around.

945
00:51:44,643 --> 00:51:46,978
And then it's gone,
but then I feel it again,

946
00:51:47,062 --> 00:51:49,981
but it's not every day and it's not…

947
00:51:50,065 --> 00:51:52,692
-Like, I don't feel anything now.
-[Michael] Okay.

948
00:51:52,776 --> 00:51:56,863
In patients that have pericarditis,
we have some new options available.

949
00:51:56,947 --> 00:52:00,659
But they're very high-end biologicals

950
00:52:00,742 --> 00:52:02,452
that require injections.

951
00:52:02,536 --> 00:52:04,913
And they require a long course.

952
00:52:04,996 --> 00:52:08,375
So the injections would be
at least once a week

953
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:09,793
for at least a year.

954
00:52:09,876 --> 00:52:12,921
And that would have hopefully
kept this at bay

955
00:52:13,004 --> 00:52:15,841
while he returned
to higher intensity exercise,

956
00:52:15,924 --> 00:52:19,970
to potentially allow him
to return for another season.

957
00:52:21,096 --> 00:52:24,766
But you have to be willing
to inject yourself every week.

958
00:52:24,850 --> 00:52:27,143
And you have to be willing to then

959
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:31,022
also realize that this still
might not get me back there.

960
00:52:31,690 --> 00:52:34,150
[somber music playing]

961
00:52:38,822 --> 00:52:41,074
[Henrik] I was so irritated,

962
00:52:41,157 --> 00:52:42,659
angry,

963
00:52:43,243 --> 00:52:44,578
disappointed.

964
00:52:45,537 --> 00:52:46,997
I felt so off.

965
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:49,624
There was so much

966
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:52,210
going on in my head.

967
00:52:53,003 --> 00:52:55,672
With the surgery, there was a plan.

968
00:52:56,464 --> 00:52:59,259
But here I was, and there was no plan.

969
00:53:00,385 --> 00:53:01,636
I was…

970
00:53:05,765 --> 00:53:07,017
a little lost.

971
00:53:10,395 --> 00:53:13,106
[music intensifies]

972
00:53:15,984 --> 00:53:19,362
Decided to go for a few days Upstate…

973
00:53:21,114 --> 00:53:23,700
to gather my thoughts a little bit.

974
00:53:23,783 --> 00:53:25,744
[wind blowing]

975
00:53:26,786 --> 00:53:28,413
Little pit stop.

976
00:53:32,667 --> 00:53:35,337
[groans] Time to reset a little bit.

977
00:53:36,046 --> 00:53:38,048
[somber music continues]

978
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:01,780
[birds twittering faintly]

979
00:54:28,181 --> 00:54:31,851
[Henrik] To be here and not to be
disturbed by anything,

980
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:33,937
that was essential for…

981
00:54:35,313 --> 00:54:36,648
for my process.

982
00:54:36,731 --> 00:54:39,943
[water babbling gently]

983
00:54:46,616 --> 00:54:48,618
[Henrik] The hardest part,

984
00:54:48,702 --> 00:54:50,996
if you have to make a decision,

985
00:54:51,955 --> 00:54:55,959
if you don't know if it's
the right or wrong decision.

986
00:55:02,757 --> 00:55:05,385
Throughout my career,

987
00:55:05,468 --> 00:55:09,723
a big part of my time
went to analyzing my game.

988
00:55:12,017 --> 00:55:14,853
I didn't spend a lot of time
analyzing myself.

989
00:55:16,479 --> 00:55:20,817
I felt like I wanted to change myself

990
00:55:20,900 --> 00:55:23,486
and adjust my outlook.

991
00:55:23,570 --> 00:55:25,697
[birds twittering]

992
00:55:28,408 --> 00:55:31,995
I used to, a lot when I played,
to center myself,

993
00:55:32,078 --> 00:55:34,164
just look at one spot.

994
00:55:35,874 --> 00:55:39,294
And in the beginning, first few seconds,
my thought is everywhere,

995
00:55:39,377 --> 00:55:41,212
and there's a lot of things going on.

996
00:55:42,047 --> 00:55:43,631
But eventually,

997
00:55:44,340 --> 00:55:46,051
it's just a spot.

998
00:55:48,219 --> 00:55:50,263
And there's no thoughts.

999
00:55:52,307 --> 00:55:56,394
And it's kinda what I do here,
is center myself by just…

1000
00:55:59,522 --> 00:56:01,941
looking at one place and eventually

1001
00:56:02,817 --> 00:56:06,071
everything else just goes away.

1002
00:56:22,879 --> 00:56:26,216
[Henrik] The guy that
drove out of Manhattan was

1003
00:56:27,092 --> 00:56:28,384
irritated…

1004
00:56:29,052 --> 00:56:30,678
disappointed…

1005
00:56:33,598 --> 00:56:36,559
[car engine roaring]

1006
00:56:36,643 --> 00:56:39,145
And then the man that came back was

1007
00:56:39,896 --> 00:56:43,233
happy, relaxed, and in peace.

1008
00:56:46,111 --> 00:56:47,946
[in Swedish] I just needed time to…

1009
00:56:49,823 --> 00:56:51,741
get that energy out, I think.

1010
00:56:52,534 --> 00:56:56,704
It felt a bit like that,
get the negative energy out of my body.

1011
00:56:58,414 --> 00:56:59,749
[Jimmy on phone] Yeah.

1012
00:57:02,877 --> 00:57:07,507
And that negative energy…

1013
00:57:07,590 --> 00:57:13,263
was that connected to your expectations
and what you had envisioned,

1014
00:57:13,346 --> 00:57:17,225
and when it didn't turn out that way,
it became a lot to deal with?

1015
00:57:17,308 --> 00:57:19,018
Yeah. Exactly.

1016
00:57:21,521 --> 00:57:23,731
[in English] It's funny how life works.

1017
00:57:24,357 --> 00:57:27,402
You know, I struggled for a long time…

1018
00:57:28,903 --> 00:57:32,198
if I should play anywhere else,
if I should…

1019
00:57:33,741 --> 00:57:35,618
you know, wear another jersey,

1020
00:57:35,702 --> 00:57:39,789
and I decide to do it
and I'm all excited, and then

1021
00:57:39,873 --> 00:57:42,041
the heart just said, "No."

1022
00:57:43,042 --> 00:57:44,586
Uh, twice.

1023
00:57:45,753 --> 00:57:47,589
[somber music playing]

1024
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:53,052
And I saw the images,
I saw how much inflammation.

1025
00:57:55,930 --> 00:57:58,266
This inflammation,
it could take five months,

1026
00:57:58,349 --> 00:58:00,018
but it could take years.

1027
00:58:01,561 --> 00:58:03,021
[music fades]

1028
00:58:03,104 --> 00:58:04,647
That's when I really felt like

1029
00:58:05,690 --> 00:58:07,358
it was not meant to be.

1030
00:58:07,984 --> 00:58:09,486
[rain pattering]

1031
00:58:09,569 --> 00:58:12,989
All right, August 17th,

1032
00:58:13,531 --> 00:58:15,116
2021.

1033
00:58:16,117 --> 00:58:19,204
I think it's time for my last practice.

1034
00:58:20,872 --> 00:58:22,373
Decided to…

1035
00:58:24,292 --> 00:58:25,543
hang it up.

1036
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:28,796
It's just, uh… it's too complicated.

1037
00:58:31,299 --> 00:58:34,093
With the inflammation and… [sighs]

1038
00:58:36,137 --> 00:58:38,723
Yeah, it's time to do something else.

1039
00:58:39,766 --> 00:58:41,100
It's been fun.

1040
00:58:42,727 --> 00:58:44,229
Fun ride.

1041
00:58:45,563 --> 00:58:48,233
But let's, um, move on.

1042
00:58:48,775 --> 00:58:51,778
[soft, emotional music playing]

1043
00:58:53,613 --> 00:58:57,951
[crowd cheering]

1044
00:59:03,998 --> 00:59:06,834
[crowd cheering]

1045
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:10,964
[emotional music continues]

1046
00:59:15,718 --> 00:59:18,888
[crowd cheering]

1047
00:59:30,358 --> 00:59:32,277
[music fades]

1048
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,247
[Henrik] So I made the decision to retire.

1049
00:59:44,747 --> 00:59:45,873
I'm done.

1050
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:51,421
[in Swedish] The rehabilitation
had not gone as he had hoped,

1051
00:59:51,504 --> 00:59:54,716
so then we all had
to come to terms with that.

1052
00:59:54,799 --> 00:59:57,969
[in English] I have felt it in here.
Like, okay, I-I…

1053
00:59:58,469 --> 01:00:00,680
It's just to take it in and realize,

1054
01:00:00,763 --> 01:00:03,891
"Okay, if this happened to me,
what would I feel?"

1055
01:00:03,975 --> 01:00:05,268
"What would I go through?"

1056
01:00:05,351 --> 01:00:07,353
[solemn music playing]

1057
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:11,232
[Joel] Like I said,
he had a tough journey.

1058
01:00:13,985 --> 01:00:16,487
[gulls calling]

1059
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:34,088
[Henrik in Swedish] Captain Erik.

1060
01:00:34,714 --> 01:00:35,798
[Erik] All is well?

1061
01:00:35,882 --> 01:00:38,343
[Henrik] I'd say so. How are you?

1062
01:00:38,426 --> 01:00:39,636
[Erik] Great.

1063
01:00:39,719 --> 01:00:42,096
[in English] The summer in Sweden starts

1064
01:00:42,180 --> 01:00:46,601
when Henrik and his family
comes home to Sweden.

1065
01:00:46,684 --> 01:00:48,895
That's-- That's like a mark.

1066
01:00:48,978 --> 01:00:50,480
"Okay, summer is here."

1067
01:00:51,397 --> 01:00:53,274
"Lundqvist just got home."

1068
01:00:54,025 --> 01:00:57,695
[in Swedish] Yes, I can already
feel myself getting relaxed.

1069
01:00:59,781 --> 01:01:02,158
It's hard not to, on a day like this.

1070
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:06,788
[Erik in English]
We spoke a lot about his body.

1071
01:01:08,748 --> 01:01:11,542
And I read a book at the same time,

1072
01:01:11,626 --> 01:01:15,046
when all this happened
that was written by a monk.

1073
01:01:15,129 --> 01:01:18,341
And he had a speech, uh,

1074
01:01:18,424 --> 01:01:22,136
where he, uh, paid gratitude to his body.

1075
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:25,139
And, uh, I remember
we discussed about that.

1076
01:01:27,475 --> 01:01:31,479
Henrik's body physically
gave him a career.

1077
01:01:33,314 --> 01:01:34,732
In the middle of all that,

1078
01:01:34,816 --> 01:01:37,485
his body just poked him
on the shoulder and said,

1079
01:01:37,568 --> 01:01:39,904
"Hey, I… I need a break."

1080
01:01:39,987 --> 01:01:43,074
"We got a condition here that you need to

1081
01:01:43,157 --> 01:01:44,951
pay some attention to."

1082
01:01:45,034 --> 01:01:48,246
He had to switch focus.

1083
01:01:49,038 --> 01:01:50,123
That was new to him.

1084
01:01:50,206 --> 01:01:52,083
[in Swedish] Thanks for the ride.

1085
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:53,543
Thank you!

1086
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:54,544
Do you want some coffee?

1087
01:01:54,627 --> 01:01:55,878
I'd love some.

1088
01:01:56,504 --> 01:01:59,632
[Henrik in English] To walk away from
something that you love doing

1089
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:01,175
for your entire life?

1090
01:02:01,759 --> 01:02:05,096
I mean, some people walk away
when they're tired of it.

1091
01:02:07,181 --> 01:02:10,351
They don't like it at all.
I-I still love it.

1092
01:02:10,435 --> 01:02:12,645
So there's definitely sadness in that.

1093
01:02:12,729 --> 01:02:15,898
[girls laughing]

1094
01:02:17,650 --> 01:02:19,110
[Henrik chuckles]

1095
01:02:20,403 --> 01:02:22,697
[laughter]

1096
01:02:23,489 --> 01:02:26,576
[Henrik] When I think about playing
at Madison Square Garden

1097
01:02:26,659 --> 01:02:28,661
and the excitement I felt,

1098
01:02:29,537 --> 01:02:31,831
I appreciate it so much,

1099
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:36,085
but when I look forward
to what's next and…

1100
01:02:37,879 --> 01:02:40,423
I think the goal is to

1101
01:02:41,674 --> 01:02:43,801
have a different experience,

1102
01:02:44,844 --> 01:02:47,054
but feel joy.

1103
01:02:47,722 --> 01:02:51,309
Oh, the birds have already
lined up on a rock.

1104
01:02:54,187 --> 01:02:56,814
[Jimmy in Swedish]
Somehow, life wants us well, I think.

1105
01:02:57,815 --> 01:03:02,612
Yes, and it can be hard to see when
you're in the middle of it sometimes.

1106
01:03:02,695 --> 01:03:03,780
You're still here.

1107
01:03:03,863 --> 01:03:05,198
I'm still here, yes.

1108
01:03:05,281 --> 01:03:06,115
[both chuckle]

1109
01:03:06,199 --> 01:03:08,493
-But without the skates.
-Without the skates.

1110
01:03:09,535 --> 01:03:13,164
I think that our expectations,
when we have expectations,

1111
01:03:13,247 --> 01:03:17,210
should be a specific way,
because there is a risk they limit us.

1112
01:03:18,252 --> 01:03:21,464
And that this is what makes us suffer.

1113
01:03:21,547 --> 01:03:22,590
Do you agree?

1114
01:03:24,634 --> 01:03:27,845
Yes. I think that was a bit of a problem…

1115
01:03:29,013 --> 01:03:33,142
Toward the end, in my mind,
I imagined how it should be.

1116
01:03:33,226 --> 01:03:37,855
Instead of just living it,
I sort of tried to…

1117
01:03:39,690 --> 01:03:42,151
draw the roadmap,

1118
01:03:42,235 --> 01:03:44,904
and it created stress

1119
01:03:44,987 --> 01:03:47,448
and disappointment too.

1120
01:03:48,199 --> 01:03:51,452
I feel that we don't believe enough

1121
01:03:51,536 --> 01:03:54,121
that our thoughts
actually create our reality.

1122
01:03:54,205 --> 01:03:55,790
A lot of what we talk about…

1123
01:03:55,873 --> 01:03:59,961
for example, things like,
"I want to end my career here."

1124
01:04:00,044 --> 01:04:02,797
"This is what I want…"

1125
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:05,466
But then life wants something different,

1126
01:04:05,550 --> 01:04:07,844
and then it's difficult to accept reality.

1127
01:04:08,553 --> 01:04:10,721
[soft music playing]

1128
01:04:13,850 --> 01:04:17,812
[Henrik in English] If I look at what
I went through, and what I learned and…

1129
01:04:18,437 --> 01:04:21,691
kind of saw the difference

1130
01:04:21,774 --> 01:04:24,235
in a good mindset and a bad mindset,

1131
01:04:24,318 --> 01:04:26,487
the difference in how I felt…

1132
01:04:26,571 --> 01:04:30,241
That's something I'll bring with me
for the rest of my life.

1133
01:04:32,827 --> 01:04:35,580
It sounds crazy to say
it's been a good experience,

1134
01:04:35,663 --> 01:04:37,999
but, in a way, it has.

1135
01:04:42,253 --> 01:04:45,131
[music intensifies]

1136
01:04:49,927 --> 01:04:52,763
[waves lapping]

1137
01:04:58,686 --> 01:05:00,813
[Joel in Swedish] Is there a car coming?

1138
01:05:01,981 --> 01:05:03,983
[Henrik] Yeah, I can call.

1139
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:07,236
Deep breathing.

1140
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,529
Deep breathing.

1141
01:05:08,613 --> 01:05:09,697
Stretch.

1142
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:14,660
My back's hurting.
Is it because I'm retiring for real?

1143
01:05:14,744 --> 01:05:15,953
[laughs]

1144
01:05:16,037 --> 01:05:17,872
[car horns honking]

1145
01:05:24,587 --> 01:05:27,673
[Henrik in English] My jersey's
getting retired at the Garden.

1146
01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:30,468
And it felt like the speed was…

1147
01:05:30,551 --> 01:05:32,053
it was fast.

1148
01:05:32,136 --> 01:05:33,471
So much coming at me.

1149
01:05:34,221 --> 01:05:35,848
All right, guys.

1150
01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:40,227
-Let's do this!
-Let's do this!

1151
01:05:40,311 --> 01:05:43,439
And you know, funny thing,
sometimes when they have the circus here,

1152
01:05:43,522 --> 01:05:44,899
they keep the animals in here.

1153
01:05:44,982 --> 01:05:46,943
[Charlise] They have the circus here?

1154
01:05:47,026 --> 01:05:47,860
Hello, hello.

1155
01:05:47,944 --> 01:05:49,695
-[woman] How are you?
-It's happening.

1156
01:05:49,779 --> 01:05:52,281
-Happy Henrik Day.
-Happy Henrik Day. [laughs]

1157
01:05:52,365 --> 01:05:55,660
Yes, I'm going to brag
all about your famousness.

1158
01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:58,037
[Eva in Swedish] Will you be
all right on the carpet?

1159
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,498
[Therese] Yes, we've practiced it.

1160
01:06:00,581 --> 01:06:02,541
You've practiced, we saw you practice.

1161
01:06:02,625 --> 01:06:04,669
You're going to walk hand-in-hand.

1162
01:06:04,752 --> 01:06:05,753
[laughs]

1163
01:06:05,836 --> 01:06:07,630
Waving to the people.

1164
01:06:07,713 --> 01:06:10,341
[Henrik] Maybe waving a bit more humbly.

1165
01:06:10,424 --> 01:06:12,802
Like a queen, they wave like this.

1166
01:06:13,761 --> 01:06:17,056
Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

1167
01:06:17,139 --> 01:06:19,767
[Henrik in English] It's overwhelming
to sit in one of the locker rooms

1168
01:06:19,850 --> 01:06:21,018
with my entire family.

1169
01:06:21,102 --> 01:06:24,480
First time they're in New York, together,

1170
01:06:24,563 --> 01:06:26,774
for, yeah, ever.

1171
01:06:27,608 --> 01:06:29,485
Mom, Dad, my sister, Joel.

1172
01:06:29,568 --> 01:06:31,529
[Eva in Swedish] If they cheer,
then you know for sure…

1173
01:06:31,612 --> 01:06:34,615
-They will.
-That will be tough.

1174
01:06:34,699 --> 01:06:37,576
It will be tough,
but the tears are coming to me already.

1175
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:39,954
Keep your pockets full of tissues always.

1176
01:06:40,037 --> 01:06:40,913
[Eva laughs]

1177
01:06:40,997 --> 01:06:43,165
[Henrik in English]
And the Ranger legends are there.

1178
01:06:43,249 --> 01:06:46,168
I walked around just to…
they showed us around and…

1179
01:06:46,252 --> 01:06:49,255
-Start crying right away!
-Oh, I know.

1180
01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:51,215
It's been years for me.

1181
01:06:51,298 --> 01:06:54,218
I couldn't talk about it for ten years
without getting emotional.

1182
01:06:54,301 --> 01:06:56,262
-Literally ten years.
-Well…

1183
01:06:56,345 --> 01:06:59,223
I want to feel, right?
I want to feel something.

1184
01:06:59,306 --> 01:07:02,351
Oh yeah, definitely.
That's what you play for.

1185
01:07:02,435 --> 01:07:05,146
Is there a sense of brotherhood
that the few of you

1186
01:07:05,229 --> 01:07:08,816
who have had jerseys retired
by this organization

1187
01:07:08,899 --> 01:07:10,568
feel amongst yourselves?

1188
01:07:10,651 --> 01:07:13,696
Is it kinda like
a former presidents' club?

1189
01:07:13,779 --> 01:07:16,824
Hank, from a young kid in Sweden,
coming to the NHL,

1190
01:07:16,907 --> 01:07:18,034
coming to America,

1191
01:07:18,117 --> 01:07:21,579
to one of 11 players
to having your jersey retired

1192
01:07:21,662 --> 01:07:23,664
in the world's most famous arena.

1193
01:07:23,748 --> 01:07:26,333
I know before you mentioned
how surreal this all felt,

1194
01:07:26,417 --> 01:07:28,753
but now that we are truly
just moments away from it,

1195
01:07:28,836 --> 01:07:31,088
how are you feeling in this very moment?

1196
01:07:33,924 --> 01:07:36,343
[Henrik]
I wanted to be as present as possible,

1197
01:07:36,427 --> 01:07:40,514
and be open as possible
for whatever was about to happen.

1198
01:07:40,598 --> 01:07:42,933
[loud cheering]

1199
01:07:45,853 --> 01:07:47,480
[Mike Richter] Ranger fans!

1200
01:07:48,147 --> 01:07:50,024
It's time.

1201
01:07:50,107 --> 01:07:54,153
Tonight, his number 30
will rise to the rafters

1202
01:07:55,279 --> 01:07:57,156
and stay forever

1203
01:07:57,239 --> 01:07:59,366
in the world's most famous arena.

1204
01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:01,243
[crowd cheering]

1205
01:08:01,327 --> 01:08:04,580
[soft, dramatic music playing]

1206
01:08:06,540 --> 01:08:08,417
[Henrik] I closed my eyes,

1207
01:08:09,418 --> 01:08:11,420
took a couple of deep breaths,

1208
01:08:11,504 --> 01:08:13,589
and then I could hear everything.

1209
01:08:13,672 --> 01:08:15,925
I heard him introduce my family.

1210
01:08:16,509 --> 01:08:22,389
[Mike] His parents, Henrik's father,
Peter, and his mother, Eva.

1211
01:08:22,473 --> 01:08:23,849
[cheering]

1212
01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:25,726
[Henrik] I heard the crowd.

1213
01:08:25,810 --> 01:08:28,687
[chanting] Henrik! Henrik!

1214
01:08:28,771 --> 01:08:30,981
And in a way, it really centered me.

1215
01:08:31,065 --> 01:08:33,234
I mean, I was really in the moment.

1216
01:08:33,317 --> 01:08:35,569
[soft music continues]

1217
01:08:35,653 --> 01:08:38,781
I was just closing my eyes.

1218
01:08:40,157 --> 01:08:41,325
And listened.

1219
01:08:41,408 --> 01:08:42,785
[crowd cheering]

1220
01:08:42,868 --> 01:08:44,328
[dramatic music playing]

1221
01:08:44,411 --> 01:08:45,788
[crowd chanting] Henrik!

1222
01:08:45,871 --> 01:08:47,915
[announcer] A Rangers legend…

1223
01:08:50,084 --> 01:08:52,002
A New York icon…

1224
01:08:52,086 --> 01:08:56,465
Number 30! Henrik Lundqvist!

1225
01:08:56,549 --> 01:08:58,050
[crowd cheering]

1226
01:08:58,134 --> 01:09:00,678
[dramatic music swells]

1227
01:09:02,304 --> 01:09:06,433
First step out, that's when
my knee kinda fell weak.

1228
01:09:06,517 --> 01:09:07,393
[laughs]

1229
01:09:12,064 --> 01:09:16,402
My goal this night was just
to take it all in.

1230
01:09:16,485 --> 01:09:18,946
I didn't need to perform,
I just needed to be myself,

1231
01:09:19,029 --> 01:09:20,447
and-and enjoy it.

1232
01:09:20,531 --> 01:09:21,782
[crowd cheering]

1233
01:09:21,866 --> 01:09:24,034
Ah. I miss you guys.

1234
01:09:24,535 --> 01:09:27,788
-I missed you. I really have.
-[crowd roars]

1235
01:09:27,872 --> 01:09:30,541
I felt the connection, I felt they…

1236
01:09:32,751 --> 01:09:35,379
They were there with me,
and I was there with them.

1237
01:09:35,462 --> 01:09:37,464
[crowd roars]

1238
01:09:40,634 --> 01:09:42,970
It's been an amazing experience

1239
01:09:43,053 --> 01:09:45,347
and it has given me so much joy,

1240
01:09:45,431 --> 01:09:48,809
and it's definitely played a huge part
in making my journey so special.

1241
01:09:48,893 --> 01:09:52,271
So thank you to everyone in here
and around the city.

1242
01:09:52,354 --> 01:09:54,231
[crowd cheering]

1243
01:10:03,157 --> 01:10:06,911
And while I reflect on my time
here in New York,

1244
01:10:07,953 --> 01:10:09,663
everything I experienced,

1245
01:10:11,123 --> 01:10:14,293
the people I met,
and what the game has given me,

1246
01:10:14,793 --> 01:10:17,254
I keep coming back to one feeling,

1247
01:10:17,338 --> 01:10:18,714
and that's gratitude.

1248
01:10:20,132 --> 01:10:21,884
I feel so grateful

1249
01:10:22,843 --> 01:10:25,387
for everything this organization
has given me,

1250
01:10:25,471 --> 01:10:27,514
supporting me and my family.

1251
01:10:29,350 --> 01:10:33,020
And Therese, I know it's been
a roller coaster for many years,

1252
01:10:33,103 --> 01:10:35,981
and at times it hasn't been easy
to deal with the ups and downs,

1253
01:10:36,065 --> 01:10:38,400
but now I'm finally talking

1254
01:10:38,484 --> 01:10:40,402
pretty much every breakfast.

1255
01:10:40,486 --> 01:10:41,528
[crowd laughs]

1256
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:42,947
You know, it's…

1257
01:10:44,323 --> 01:10:47,368
It's been exciting now
to start a new chapter.

1258
01:10:47,451 --> 01:10:49,161
And it was, uh…

1259
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:51,538
It was amazing.

1260
01:10:51,622 --> 01:10:52,998
[crowd cheering]

1261
01:10:55,501 --> 01:10:59,171
This experience will stay with me
for the rest of my life.

1262
01:10:59,255 --> 01:11:01,465
Thank you so much.

1263
01:11:01,548 --> 01:11:03,550
Thank you. Thank you.

1264
01:11:03,634 --> 01:11:05,219
I really appreciate it.

1265
01:11:05,302 --> 01:11:07,304
[crowd cheering]

1266
01:11:10,015 --> 01:11:13,519
[gentle music continues]

1267
01:11:19,275 --> 01:11:24,238
[crowd chanting] Henrik! Henrik!
Henrik! Henrik!

1268
01:11:24,321 --> 01:11:27,658
Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

1269
01:11:27,741 --> 01:11:29,827
Henrik! Henrik!

1270
01:11:29,910 --> 01:11:31,829
[chanting fades]

1271
01:11:31,912 --> 01:11:34,957
[soft, dramatic music continues]

1272
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,835
[music swells]

1273
01:11:46,010 --> 01:11:49,263
[Henrik] It was great to just feel
that support and love

1274
01:11:49,346 --> 01:11:51,265
after everything that happened.

1275
01:11:55,561 --> 01:11:57,354
It was overwhelming.

1276
01:12:00,274 --> 01:12:01,900
How do you describe that?

1277
01:12:04,403 --> 01:12:07,323
It just gave me such a fulfilling,

1278
01:12:07,906 --> 01:12:09,450
peaceful,

1279
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:11,493
warm feeling.

1280
01:12:14,496 --> 01:12:16,165
Yeah, I felt whole.

1281
01:12:16,248 --> 01:12:18,959
[crowd cheering]

1282
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:28,052
[announcer] Congratulations, Henrik!

1283
01:12:28,135 --> 01:12:30,888
And thank you for everything

1284
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,849
you've given to the city of New York

1285
01:12:33,932 --> 01:12:37,519
and to the New York Rangers organization!

1286
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:39,313
[cheering continues]

1287
01:12:43,150 --> 01:12:47,696
[chanting] Henrik! Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

1288
01:12:47,780 --> 01:12:51,158
Henrik! Henrik!

1289
01:12:51,241 --> 01:12:54,411
Henrik! Henrik!

1290
01:12:58,415 --> 01:13:00,542
[in Swedish] What does tomorrow look like?

1291
01:13:00,626 --> 01:13:02,503
Tomorrow…

1292
01:13:05,631 --> 01:13:08,675
We'll see if we do anything during
the day, but the party is at night.

1293
01:13:08,759 --> 01:13:11,887
Celebrating my 40th birthday. It'll be…

1294
01:13:11,970 --> 01:13:13,430
It'll be fun.

1295
01:13:16,308 --> 01:13:18,519
It really is a full week of celebration.

1296
01:13:18,602 --> 01:13:19,853
Yes.

1297
01:13:21,146 --> 01:13:22,481
You could say that.

1298
01:13:23,982 --> 01:13:27,111
If you go back to where you were
a year ago or three years ago,

1299
01:13:27,194 --> 01:13:30,447
you realize quite a lot has happened.

1300
01:13:30,531 --> 01:13:35,285
And things can grow
a lot more than you realize.

1301
01:13:35,994 --> 01:13:39,248
Yeah, I guess that's what life is, right?

1302
01:13:40,165 --> 01:13:43,168
