Brian Leetch, a Hall of Fame defenseman and Conn Smythe winner during the Rangers’ 1994 title season, took a shot at some Q&A with Steve Serby about this year’s Blueshirts Stanley Cup hopefuls.

There’s plenty of teams that weren’t able to get it done before you, so look at the opportunity to be on that team that’s able to be successful.
