Uncle Larry had a great article about how the Rangers captured the City's heart in 1994.
Anyway, lots of the guys are back tonight to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that team. Should be fun! Alex Kovalev asked Mike Keenan in a presser about his seven-minute shift. Haha

I missed the parade because of the goddamn freshman year Earth Science regents exam. I'm turning 40 in June, enough with 1994 already.
Devils go up 3-2 in the series and than Mark Messier racked up a hat-trick in game 6. Game 7 was a thriller on both sides. Devils tie it with seconds in regulation and it goes to double overtime Matteau seals the deal.
Even though we lost, that was an amazing series from both teams and man how time flies with how it's now the 25th Anniversary of that Cup win for the Rangers.
That win culminated a 54 year drought. The way things are going, I don't expect to seen another Stanley Cup before I die.
All imports from the Oilers......:)

This is the way I feel. At least I got to see one Rangers team win the cup. I have been following them since the Goyette / Nevin / Marshall line days. I believe that is late 60’s / early 70’s.

Boy, are you clueless. That was as exciting as it gets. The only greater excitement in my lifetime was the 1980 Gold-medal-winning Olympic Hockey team.

He's being facetious...
Typical.
Typical.
Rangers have one scoring line. The other three lines are invisible. I thought I heard booing during the Rangers power play.
Typical.
I jinxed it talking about 17 straight. I think it was wearing white at home - even though it was a nice tribute to 1994
Regardless we needed the 0 points in this and closer to trading productive players away. I want a top 5 pick damnit. Only way we are going to stop celebratinf 1994 already (can't wait for the 30th reunion! Woohoo!)
Shattenkirk looked like a kid in the candy store during the ceremony
Never realized how short Glenn Healy was
Some guys look great (Kovalev and Beukeboom look like they can still go out there and play). Others guy got really O-L-D.
God bless Eddie O. He looks and sounds great.
Just sad that we got shut out by a team we've absolutely been curbstomping for the longest time now after all of that with all of those guys in the building.
Fans paid a lot of money for this game, but that's the risk you take with a team that sucks this much, I suppose.
Tikkanen looked so old. He was one of my favorite players on that team even though he was only here that year.
Rangers are now 11th worst in the league in points... with the fewest ROW in the entire NHL.
