It's kind of sad that there wasn't much competition for that season.

 

[SML2]

Kind of a no brainer. Unless you're a team that has won multiples like Pittsburgh, Detroit, or Chicago, or a team that has never won like St. Louis or Winnipeg, there's really not a debate. A team that has one championship in the last 70 some odd years really can't argue.

No-brainer, sure, but still an insightful look at the season.

Not bad, but was the girl who wrote this even alive in 1994?

Then the team started to decline as soon as Keenan resigned.

Who are you to question the journalistic integrity of 19 year old buzzfeed interns?

Then the team started to decline as soon as Keenan resigned.

And lost his bid against Neil Smith to be the GM, and the Rangers got old, and drafted like shit for over a decade , and spent too much money on shit, and ran Messier out to bid for Sakic, and failed getting Sakic, and Leetch turned to shit, and Richter got hurt, and the Mike York trade was bad...

On a side note , Iron Mike wore out his welcome in every time zone north and south of the mason Dixon line in the NHL.

1991-92 regular season was comparable to the regular season on 1993-94, even more stable because Neilsen wasn't as short tempered as Keenan. That team was super young and not gritty for a long playoff run. (remember I said REGULAR season not playoffs before people start trashing this comment).

Smith made a lot of bad moves after 94 as we've beaten like a dead horse here. They were setup to be a competitive team will into the 2000s with Zubov, Norstrom, Lafayette, Laperierre, Johnson, Nedved, Savard, Knuble, Kloucek, Sundstrom, Cloutier, Malholtra, etc. he gambled on two kids in the draft who didn't pan out and they had really really awful coaching between Muckler/Low/Trottier.

And yes, we all hated the York or Poti trade but let's be real for a second. Poti had the better career. York was basically done as an effective player when the NHL came back in 2005.
