"Ohhh Baby!"
Since the NJD vs TB game earlier tonight was postponed (due to lighting problems at the Prudential Center), MSG has been playing old episodes of Rangers in 60.
I got to watch two games from the '94 season:
3/23/94: Graves' NYR-record-breaking 50th & 51st goals of the season (against EDM), (this same night was Gretzky's record-breaking 802nd goal for LA)
5/25/94: game 6 of the NYR/NJD playoff series where Messier "called" the win, and got his first hat trick with the Rangers)
And dammit, it was pretty sweet revisiting with Leetch & Beuke, Mess & Graves -- and (Color Commentator) JD!!!
Appropriately, (as I just read past the part in Theo Fleury's Playing with Fire where he's part of the FLY line for the Rangers) the third game shown was from January 18, 2001, a game in which Fleury played well. According to JD he was, at that point, second in the league in scoring.
And JEEZUS, RICHTER WAS A FREAKING MONSTER IN THE NET! That night Leetch made the game-winning goal against TOR in the last minute of OT, securing for Richter the win that made him the winningest goalie in NYR history.
Damn, I miss them both so much. ;_;
