Boston vs New York is one of those things that’s just...omnipresent. For about a hundred thousand reasons that frankly, we don’t really need to get into here. But inevitably, each sports team from both towns will pair off and get into a good ol’ donnybrook. Some will only last a little while before dying down.
And because of that natural inclination for both cities to throw hands at each other, it’s only natural that the B’s and the Rangers would inevitably butt heads at some point. And in the early 1970’s, there was bad blood abound.
