John McEnroe was on a conference call today and was asked about jam band member and Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist:

 ``He's an incredible athlete. As far as his tennis, he'sprobably the best guy I ever played that's not a tennis player. He's athletically unbelievable. How quick his balance is on the court. And I hate to admit, he's even a better guitar player than me. At one stage, I hit a few balls to him and I'm thinking `these guys don't want to get hit in the head.' And thenI thought I thought I'm playing with Henrik Lundqvist. I could hit the ball as hard as I could and he'd probably just knock it off like it's nothing. ''
