What happened on June 5 in the history of the New York Rangers

June 5 is another quiet day in New York Rangers history. In 2002, there were reports on ESPN that the Rangers were on the verge of hiring Bryan Trottier to be their next head coach as the team had scheduled a 2pm press conference for June 6, but it was not confirmed.

The Rangers had two days off from their Final matches in 1994 and 2014.
