New York Rangers Tickets Information

New York Rangers
The Rangers a professional ice hockey team based in New York, U.S.A, are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, and are referred to as the Original Six. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL) who play their home games at Madison Square Garden and have won the Stanley Cup four times.

In 1925, the New York Americans joined the NHL. They proved to be an even greater success than expected. Leading Garden president Tex Rickard was granted a franchise, which he originally planned to name the New York Giants. However, the New York press soon nicknamed his team "Tex's Rangers", and the new name stuck. Rickard managed to get future legendary Toronto Maple Leafs owner Conn Smythe to assemble the team.

The Stanley Cup victories:
In only their second season, the Rangers won the Stanley Cup by getting three games to two, defeating the Montreal Maroons. After a loss to the Bruins in the 1928-29 finals and a few mediocre seasons in the early 1930s, the Rangers, defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1932-33 best-of-five finals, and won their second Stanley Cup. In 1939-40, the Rangers bagged second place behind the Boston Bruins. The two teams squared off in the first round of the playoffs. The Bruins gained a two-games-to-one series lead from the Rangers until they won three straight games to hold off the first-place Bruins. The Rangers eventually won the best-of-seven series, four games to two.

The post-Original Six era:
The Rangers remained a mark of futility in the NHL for several years, missing the playoffs in 12 of the next 16 years. However, the team was rejuvenated in the late 1960s, and moved back into a newly-rebuilt Madison Square Garden in 1968. A year earlier, they made the playoffs for the first time in five years on the strength of rookie goaltender Eddie Giacomin, and acquired 1950s Montreal Canadians star right wing Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion.

1993-94 Stanley Cup:
1993-94 was a magical season for Rangers fans, as Keenan led the Rangers to its first Stanley Cup championship in 54 years. Two years back, they picked up center Mark Messier, who was an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers' Cup winning teams. Adam Graves who also defected from the Oilers, joined the Rangers as well. Other ex-Oilers on the Blueshirts included trade deadline acquisitions Craig MacTavish (now Oilers head coach) and Glenn Anderson. Brian Leetch and Sergei Zubov were a solid 1-2 punch on defence. In fact, Zubov led the team in scoring that season with 89 points, and continued throughout his career. Graves set a team record with 52 goals, breaking the old record of 50 held by Vic Hadfield. This record was later broken by Jaromir Jagr on April 8, 2006 against Boston.

Towards the end of the 2003-04 season Sather finally traded away Leetch, Kovalev, and eight others for numerous prospects and draft picks. Bure, Messier, and Blackburn are now retired and Lindros returned home to sign with the Maple Leafs prior to the start of the 2005-06 season. Leetch finished out the 2003-04 season with Toronto and then played with Boston in the 2005-06 season. Leetch has since officially announced his retirement in June 2007.

At the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Rangers chose Alexei Cherepanov 17th overall. Cherepanov had been ranked by Central Scouting as the number one European skater and a top five pick leading up to the draft, but fell due to uncertainty of teams whether he would ever come to the NHL from Russia. The 2007 free agency season started with a bang for the Rangers signing two high profile centerman, Scott Gomez from the New Jersey Devils for a seven year contract as well as Chris Drury from the Buffalo Sabres for five years.

The post-lockout Rangers, under new head coach Tom Renney, have seen the team move away from high-priced veterans towards a group of talented young players such as Petr Prucha, Dominic Moore, and Blair Betts, but the focus of the team remains on veteran superstar Jaromir Jagr. The Rangers struggled during the 2005-06 season for their eighth consecutive season out of the postseason, although the Sports Illustrated declared them the worst team in the league in their season preview, but behind stellar performances by goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, Martin Straka, Prucha, and Jagr, the Rangers finished the season with their best record since 1993-94.
