[jersey-xy]

A frustrated Henrik Lundqvist lost his http://www.authenticcelticsstore.com/authentic-33-larry-bird-jersey... temper and tossed his own goal cage in anger during the Rangers ' 4-1 loss on Thursday in Pittsburgh, where he's had the better part of the Penguins for two seasons.

Visibly upset after colliding with teammate Ryan McDonagh following a Penguins 2-on-1 rush, Lundqvist tossed his net into the end boards as Pittsburgh re-entered the zone seconds later, drawing the ire of the home fans.

The Rangers goaltender was whistled for delay of game during the odd second-period sequence in which he threw his own net off its moorings to get a stoppage in play. It came after Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist each scored to chase Lundqvist with a three-goal flurry at the end of the period and help the Penguins to a rare win against their division rival.

"I think he was trying to tell Kevin Martin Womens Jersey the referee he was hurt and I don't know if the signals didn't cross or whatever, but obviously the referee didn't pick up on it and he wasn't feeling right,'' Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.

Vigneault said Lundqvist was experiencing neck spasms after the second period and the trainers thought it would be best to hold him out during the third.

"I don't think it's anything serious, but they wanted to go on the safe side, so we took him out,'' Vigneault said.

Lundqvist started each of the last 13 games Carl Landry Womens Jersey against Pittsburgh and allowed just three goals on 119 shots during the previous four meetings. That included a 34-save effort last month for his fourth career shutout against the Penguins. He made 19 saves through two periods Thursday before Antti Raanta took over and stopped three shots in the third.

Crosby's initial shot on his second-period goal bounced off the end boards and the Penguins captain, circling around the net, redirected the puck toward the goal, where it hit off Lundqvist's skate and went across the line.

Malkin scored 21 seconds later, beating Lundqvist with a sharp wrister after Dan Girardi's blocked shot.
