Penguins Troll Henrik Lundqvist after His Temper Tantrum

It wasn't a great night for King Henrik. The Rangers fell 4-1 to the Penguins on Thursday. Lundqvist lost his cool, snapped and beat up a net following a collision with his teammate, receiving a minor penalty for delay of game. He later had to leave the contest with neck spasms. The loss ended the Rangers' three-game winning streak. Bad night all around for Lundqvist and the Rangers.

But, wait, there's more. The witty minds behind the Penguins' Twitter account decided to have a little fun and troll the shit out of the New York netminder. Not once.

Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury later likened Lundqvist's antics to that of a child.

"I think that's baby stuff," he said following the victory. "I get mad. I get disturbed. I'll smash my stick, but I wouldn't push the net over and stop play and get a penalty."

The two teams will meet again in less than two weeks at MSG. Fun.
