Rangers throw big party for 1994 Stanley Cup champions

Modal Trigger

Mark Messier raises a celebratory fist to the Garden crowd during Friday's ceremony honoring the 25th anniversary of the Rangers' 1994 Stanley Cup title.

The aura and accomplishment of what 1994 means to the Rangers and their fan base somehow may only have grown in stature over the past quarter-century.

At least it sounded that way for those who broke the franchise’s 1940 hex by finally hoisting the Stanley Cup that June, and for those in attendance at the Garden on Friday night for the 25th anniversary celebration while awaiting what would be just the Blueshirts’ second championship in nearly eight decades.
