1994 Rangers Road to Victory Special on NHL Network 8PM Saturday

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Actually I won't be putting it on YouTube since it's a 2 hour special and they took away my ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes. I will upload it in its entirety to a file host and you'll have to download it. (in HD)

Sweet! Thank you.

Im looking forward to this special.

can't you split it into a few parts, or can somebody else, multiple parts on youtube

 

[HeaveHo94]

yawn...

 

[Tikkanen10fan]

i hate shelling out the extra 7 bucks for these channels because i don't watch half of them in the package and cablevision shouldn't be charging extra..but its easier than cancelling and then activating anytime i want to watch something..i'll just keep the package..

 

[TankLarkin]

Just finished watching. Show this to Rangers 2012 tomorrow and I guarantee the ECF at least. Great stuff.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Was an excellent show. I'm one of the people that are sick of hearing about 94 but I enjoyed this. Always love seeing documentaries and shows like this.

Man, the corpse of 94 has been paraded around so much, I don't think there are bones left.

I appreciate the 94 team, but it happened(its over)lets move on.

Anyone who lived through 94 and isnt severely immune to how its been forced down our throats (particularly by the Dolan-run MSG), needs to have their head examined. Then again, when its the franchise's only cup in 72 years, and theres little to no footage from the first 3 cups, I guess its understandable that the PR machine would cling to the 94 glory days.

Theres been 2 legitimately exciting seasons since 94.

1997, which was a fun ride despite knowing that team had little chance of staying power when it came to sustained success.

And last season.

Between 1941 and current, theres been a handful of seasons any self-respecting Ranger fan can truly be proud of. Thats the reality of the situation, without the rose colored glasses.

 

[Bluenote13]

Maybe it depends on who you are but being 19 in '94 and having the Ranger's win after 54 years, seeing how the old timers in my family responded - absolutely priceless and will never go down exactly like that again.

As much as MSG jams it down throats, it still remains pretty special.

Naw, 1950, 1972, 1979, 1981, 1986, 1990, 1992, 2006 (despite the bad ending), 2007, 2011, and 2012 were all pretty memorable seasons despite not winning it all.

I disagree with a few of those. I think the mid-2000's seasons were just viewed as better than they actually were because of the utter crap that occurred the previous 8 years.

Even so, thats 10 memorable seasons in the last 72.

Claiming that the Rangers are this extraordinarily successful franchise of pure revisionist history...its a franchise that has had several resources over the years and lackluster results. Just embrace it...doesnt make you any less of a fan.

Im with you. Ive seen my father cry twice in his entire life. Once was when his mother passed away, and once was when the Rangers won the cup. That really hit home with me.

Nonetheless, he'd be the first to tell you hes sick of how 94 has been lionized over the past 18 years.

It has been played so so much, but thats what happens with everything in this day and age. Everything is so accessible. Meanwhile during the summer of 94 I was popping in one of my 14 video tapes of the playoffs that year everyday when I woke up as a working part time/partying full time 19 yr old I wore my NYR road jersey almost everyday, even to Jury duty a week before we won the Cup

I think what the Knicks do is far more pathetic with the Willis Reed game and the 1994 bummer 'March to the finals!'

 

[Kershaw]

The things that I would do to see this team win the cup....

From I what I remember about the 96-97 Season, that Ranger team under achieved all season. The regular season was a sign of all the disappointment that was about to come in the later years.

The playoffs on the other hand, were exciting since this team finally got it together and went on an 8 - 2 10 game run through the first two rounds, Then finally got destroyed by the Flyers.

1994 and this year were the only two times I remember actually watching the Rangers both have a great regular season, and putting together a long playoff run.

I think its unfair to say they got destroyed by the Flyers in 97. Injuries were a huge issue, and the death of Karpovtsev's mother was another (Potsy was playing great against Lindros early in that series).

Game 4 was one of the biggest rollercoaster rides of emotion in my time as a Ranger fan. Leetch tied it late, and Lindros scored on a backhander with seconds remaining to win it. Series could've been 2-2 instead of 3-1. Absolutely backbreaking.

Bleed Ranger Blue, I'm not here to fight just disagree. I never said the Rangers were super successful nor are they extremely unsuccessful.

It's all about expectations. You're team isn't going to win a Championship every year. That's delusional. I'm a NY Giants fan and the thought of them repeating this year hasn't even crossed my mind.

With that being said, certain years the Rangers have exceeded expectations. 05-06 was very memorable because they were supposed to be the worst team in the league and came one point from winning the Division and worked hard all year. 06-07 was a hard year but Cally/Girardi/Dubi got their starts and they were one goal a way from going up in the Buffalo series. They exceeded expectations both those years. I'm sure many older fans have good memories from the early 80s squads who would always beat the Flyers but could never solve the Islanders, and the 86 team which was more dysfunctional than the 78 Yankees is only remembered because they got hot a few weeks in April.

Some years especially when teams are young you just want them to work hard and you get rewarded (Rangers in those years I just mentioned, Rangers this year, 1979, etc.). The Mets even if they fall apart in the second half, I think most fans (myself included)
would take it for what the expectations were. Other years you have a stacked team that stinks.

Championship are the ultimate success, but it doesn't mean a team didn't have a good or memorable season. That would mean the Sharks and Blues have never had any success, and the Kings were utter failures until this past year.

I just came here to say that I wish more Ranger fans were as honest as you. I try to bring this point up to Ranger fan friends who think the Rangers are the greatest team to grace the NHL and their homerism is way too much in the way to admit this.

 

[Machinehead]

When needing help on the last day of the season to sneak into the playoffs and then getting rolled in 5 games is considered a memorable season, it says alot about our franchise unfortunately.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

It's not homerism, it's expectations. 2011 was a fun year. So was last year. I'm a realist, the Rangers aren't the Yankees, not the Giants, but at the same time they're not the Blue Jackets or Royals. They're not blessed like the Canadians with historic good luck or regional drafting advantages, or have the NHL in love with them like the Penguins. Maybe one day they have a dynasty (my friends and I all joke this will start the year after the last one of us has passed), but probably not.

Some seasons are a lot of fun for various reasons; a rookie comes up you love, you win the Division and get a banner, it's the birth of wha will hopefully be a championship team.

The ultimate goal is to win a Championship of course, but you can be entertained and enjoy a season. There were many seasons I personally enjoyed more than 1997 that they didn't go as far.

I'd love to have more championships but a Championship, two President's Trophies, Four Division Titles, and five trips to the ECF in my lifetime isn't horrible.

Thanks!

I never get sick of anything 1994. There was more to that season than the Cup.

Its the last time any Rangers team played every game of any season like a Game 7 (give or take a few games). Tremendous skill and effort.

1986 Giants, 1998 Yankees, 1986 Mets, any of the 80s Isles Cup teams, 1994 Rangers and maybe the 1970 Knicks are the only NY teams of the modern era whose accomplishments from a pure dominance standpoint are timeless.
