We’ve gotten used to seeing Henrik Lundqvist suit up for the New York Rangers over the years, but he’s going to swap out Rangers blue for the navy hues of the Washington Capitals this year.

For his first season in DC, King Henrik isn’t going for the subtle approach. These new pads are Capitals loud and proud. It’s going to be a different look for Lundqvist this season, and we’re going to have to get used to that.

We’re sure that many fans thought Lundqvist was bound to retire with the Rangers, but he’s still seeking a Stanley Cup before he retires and perhaps partnering with Ovi in Washington can do the trick.

Hank has already hit the ice with the Capitals, although he didn’t have these spiffy pads yet. Like we said... This will take a while to get used to.
