An unusual connection with the 1994 triumph

THE RANGERS CELEBRATE AFTER WINNING GAME FOUR OF THE STANLEY CUP FINALS, 4-2, IN VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Today is a special day to be a New York Rangers fan, even for someone from the other side of the pond.

It was 26 years ago today that the New York Rangers reached the peak of the hockey mountain, beating the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals.

That famous cry of “and this one will last a lifetime” from the legendary Sam Rosen still sends chills down the spine today.

The events of 26 years ago at Madison Square Garden will forever be enshrined in the rich tapestry of this storied franchise, and the euphoric joy of seeing Mark Messier hoist that beautiful cup above his head will never leave those who were alive to witness such a magical event.
