Sports fans rarely forget guarantees and boasts that are followed through on. However, they also remember when similar language falls short.
While he was the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, Sather claimed that he would win the Cup “every year” if he had the Rangers’ budget. After all, he had won five Cups as the coach and GM of the Edmonton Oilers.
In the year 2000 Sather became the general manager and president of the New York Rangers. In his tenure as the big cigar-chomping boss, he reached the Cup Final once, but will leave his role as president without winning a Cup.
