Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup 25th Anniversary Celebration (Full Ceremony)

[@plev10]

Lifelong Boston Bruins fan here. I lived in NYC for 20 years and had an apartment right across the street from a bar on East 89th Street, where the boys brought the Stanley Cup around 2 in the morning the night they won it. Unfortunately I was asleep but read about it later. What a great team - and a great win for the city!

[@amazinmets8439]

What was the name of the bar? Do you remember? What Avenue?

[@kevinkarthaus5364]

It was called The Auction House. Rangers lived there in 94, I was there that night and drank from the Cup. Tikk brought the Cup in out of a cab and the NYPD had their bagpipes there. Night went until 520 am.

Kovalev was very good, just 20 when the Rangers won the Cup. Underrated.

[@markcastro6990]

Question: Would you rather have lost in 94 with the same team before the deadline but win a lot of Stanley Cups in the years following with the young talent or would you go through with the trades that Keenan made to win the cup in 94 but not win the Stanley Cup since then?

[@amazinmets8439]

There's no guarantee the Rangers would have won in 94 or beyond that without those deals. Messier was getting older and teams like Colorado and Detroit were on the rise. Lemieux came back to hockey and he always gave the Rangers problems in the playoffs. It was the right time to go for it. I'm happy with the 1 cup we won. Yes, I think the Rangers could've won at least 1 more, but then again we could also have none. 94 was a magical year and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Keenan but all the eggs in the bascet for one last cup run. He couldn't care less for the future of the franchise. Look at the Devils who lost in the semis in 7th game ot. They keept their team winning three cups and beeing a power house for 20 seasons.

I didn't like any of those late season deals - Mike Gartner and Tony Amonte were adored here. I didn't like that they moved James Patrick earlier in the season, either, but I did not complain much because I knew Larmer would be a good fit. We all knew Turcotte's days were numbered when Mike was named head coach.

JD was crying even before he got to the mic. He was still President of Columbus then.

[@10.11.9]

@@billjones3497 The Rangers didn't "buy" a damn thing. The players they acquired in '94 - and just prior to - came at a premium cost. The whole "Rangers bought the Cup" in 1994 is farcical. Their two biggest stars on that team were homegrown. Three of their four Russian stars were drafted by NYR (Zubov, Kovalev, and Nemchinov), while Karpovtsev (traded from Quebec) played every game of his rookie season with the Rangers. Rangers overpayed for Anderson, Tikkanen, MacTavish, Noonan, and Matteau. Larmer, Lowe, Beukeboom, Olczyk, Healy and Wells were fair trades. Gilbert and Graves were free agent acquisitions. Obviously, the biggest player transaction between NYR and EDM was Mark Messier. Let's not forget that the player going back in that deal was Bernie Nicholls, who scored 475 goals and is considered by many to be worthy of HHOF status. Steven Rice was a top NHL prospect in 1991 but didn't fulfill his potential. Like I said, the Rangers most certainly *did not* "buy" the Stanley Cup in '94, and paid dearly for that championship for the next decade, which included seven consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs.
