Brian Leetch on Messier, ’94 and why the Rangers will win the Cup

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.

Q: If you gave a pep talk to this Rangers team about this time in their lives, what would you tell them?
A: Not to be worried about the down side, just look at all the possibilities of being successful and of winning. It’s been — what has it been, 21 years since we won? 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.
