New York Rangers legend, Henrik Lundqvist, has gone viral with his excellent Halloween Costume on tonight's NHL on TNT Broadcast. The former Rangers goaltender has decided to go full enforcer, and put on the aluminum foil as he's dressed like one of the Hanson Brothers from Slapshot.
Henrik Lundqvist is a verifiable legend in the NHL, and not only for his career in the league.
On tonight's broadcast, the NHL on TNT host has shown up for the Halloween Edition wearing a very familiar costume from a famous 70s movie franchise. If you're an old-school hockey fan, you know the Hanson Brothers from Slapshot.
The cartoonish enforcers were the icons of the movie, which starred Paul Newman as Captain of the Johnstown Chiefs, a down-on-their-luck franchise.
Once the Hanson brothers arrived, the team changed for the better and played like the Philadelphia Flyers of the Broad St. Bully era, except worse!
The costume is hilarious, not because of the movie, but to see Hank dressed uncharacteristically is quite funny. He's known for his clean-cut fashsion sense and his notorious charisma.

To give you an idea of how the movie came to be:
How the story developed: Nancy Dowd, who wrote the screenplay, based it on her brother Ned Dowd's experiences playing minor league hockey in the US in the 1970s when violence, especially in the minor leagues, was a selling point of the game.
If you haven't had a chance to see this iconic movie with a great starring cast, you should make it a point to.
