Henrik Lundqvist Posts Cryptic Tweet, Sends NHL Twitter Into Frenzy

Henrik Lundqvist's time is up with the New York Rangers, but he apparently isn't done with hockey just yet.

The netminder parted ways with the Rangers on Wednesday after 15 seasons in New York. But four days later, Lundqvist posted a cryptic tweet suggesting he still wants to be part of a team.

"I still love to compete. I still love the game and I still want to WIN!" he wrote.

I still love to compete. I still love the game and I still want to WIN!

Well, that got Twitter all riled up. And fans made sure to weigh in on his eerie post.

Washington and Carolina would be interesting options. I see the Caps as a reasonable proposition. We shall see. https://t.co/scS1rBeMgI

What does it actually mean? At this point, who knows. But it certainly is a story worth watching.
