VIDEO: Henrik Lundqvist talks with David Letterman about the 'goon' Kings and playing goal

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, looking immaculate in an anthracite three-piece suit, appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday as part of the NHL's annual media tour.

"There's a lot of things in the world to think about in one's lifetime, a lot of things to consider, and a lot of things you think 'I wish I could do that, I bet I could do that,'...Our next guest, I could never, if I lived to be a thousand, could never do what this guy does," Letterman said. "Who could do what this guy does?"

Who could do what Lundqvist does? Well, in terms of posting an elite NHL save percentage every season for a decade, literally no one else in the history of the planet.

Lundqvist and Letterman discussed many topics, including playing against Lundqvist's twin brother, Joel, the Rangers' run in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs (and how Letterman watched overtime games in his underpants), and the "goon" Los Angeles Kings.
