In January of 2019, with the impending and imminent NHL arrival of the Russian wunderkind, Igor Shesterkin, we took a dive into the New York Rangers goaltender lineage. We profiled some of the esteemed net-minders who heroically patrolled the Blueshirt crease from the birth of the franchise in 1926 to today. First, on the corner of 8th Avenue and 50th Street with the likes of Lester Patrick, Dave Kerr, Chuck Rayner and “Gump” Worsley to the Garden’s current midtown location 17 blocks south where Eddie Giacomin, John Davidson, John Vanbiesbrouck. Mike Richter and Henrik Lundqvist all wrote their respective stories of success and notched their places in Ranger history.
