We are little over a month away from an important New York Rangers anniversary, twenty-six years since the Curse was broken, the Cup lifted by the Messiah.
Talk will once again turn to that remarkable time, reminiscing about sweeping the Islanders out of the postseason, finally getting past Washington, Captain Courageous’ guarantee (and hat trick) against the Devils , that last 1.6 seconds in Game 7 of the Finals, the SURETY that the season could still somehow fall apart, picturing Vancouver scoring the tying goal and then the OT winner that would destroy us, mock us for daring to dream.
