LOS ANGELES — Some of the greats who created the most memorable moments in New York hockey history were formally etched into the annals of the National Hockey League Friday night. Four members of the Islanders’ four Stanley Cup championship teams and two key players on the Rangers’ 1994 title squad were among those named among the 100 greatest ever in the league.
The NHL named the Top 100, voted on by a blue-ribbon panel, in conjunction with the league’s centennial year. The first 33 players, from the Original Six era, had been revealed earlier at an outdoor game.
