Did You Know...

The New York Rangers ended the 2008-09 season in 4th place in the Atlantic Division and managed to secure a playoff berth, though they were knocked out by the Capitals in the first round. Determined to turn things around for the 2009-10 season, GM Glen Sather sent the ultra-expensive Scott Gomez to Montreal to make room for the equally high-risk, high-reward Marian Gaborik. If Gaborik can stay healthy (hip surgery took him out for the majority of last season), the Rangers stand an excellent chance of winning their division at the very least. Add in new head coach John Tortorella, best known for leading the Tampa Bay Lightening to their first Stanley Cup victory (and being pretty darn outspoken), and the Rangers are poised for a return to glory.

Reaching the 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and the 2008-09 NHL Playoffs, the New York Rangers could hearken back to a storied history of postseason playoffs. The franchise had previously made it into the tournament 48 times, dating back to 1926. They had won possession of the Stanley Cup four times, although the most recent year for that was 1993-94. Over the years, the Rangers have entertained fans with some of the most memorable moments in New York sporting history. One of the NHL's original six franchises, the Rangers entered the league during the 1926-27 season and quickly received top billing on Broadway. The Blueshirts captured their first Stanley Cup in only their second season (1927-28) and quickly became known as the "classiest team in hockey."
