Friday, June 14, 2019, marks the 25th anniversary of the New York Rangers winning the 1994 Stanley Cup. Saturday served as the anniversary of when they finally put on their parade down the Canyon of Heroes.
It all happened thanks to Mark Messier and company, who put the demons of 1940 to bed, ending a 54-year drought. While it was a quarter of a century ago, Blueshirts fans still talk about it to this day.
Many will tell you that the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in professional sports. After all, hockey is a sport that’s practically unpredictable and the playoffs span over two-and-a-half months.
