Adam Huska

LOL...now that is some kind of cruel in a post ...not that I was not thinking the same thought. Oh well...he is not the first to only get one game ...one and done ! There has been a few over the years for all teams .

Definitely not a one and done ....has anybody brought up the name Pascal Dupis ? He kind of did good when he left NYC .

It must have been a locker room issue with Dupuis, otherwise Bourrett must have just come available at the exact right time.

I honestly don't remember his play as a Ranger. But...he was one heck of a Penguin player for a few years .

one of my favorite one-and-done (as a NYR) - Jim Dorey
[ although it was actually 1+1 and done,
he healed in time to play 1 playoff game that spring]

he was a tough young D for Toronto,
i liked acquiring him, but Pierre Jarry may have been an overpay
(Jarry was 12thOA just 18 months prior...)

Jim Dorey Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
1972-Feb-20 Traded from Toronto Maple Leafs to New York Rangers for Pierre Jarry

Toronto Maple Leafs Legends: Jim Dorey
"You'll be a New York Ranger for a long time" is what Jim Dorey was told when he was acquired by the Rangers late in the 1971-72 season.
Dorey played just one game with the Rangers. It turned out to be his last game in the National Hockey League.
Dorey was picked up from Toronto, where the aggressive rearguard made some impressions with his rugged play over 4 NHL seasons.
...
Unfortunately for Dorey, his season was ended in his first game with the Rangers, as he suffered a badly separated shoulder.
Dorey's contract was up that summer. One of the main reasons the Leafs gave him away was that they thought he would sign with the World Hockey Association. And that's is exactly what happened
...

I'm only following @Tob's footsteps. Did you see his "remembrance" meme in the GDT with some other poor goalies? lol

I remember really being bummed when Igor Liba was traded

traded after just 2 months and 10 games in the org, during his only NA/NHL season
Espo was trading maniac during that era
.
Igor Liba Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
1988-Oct-11 Traded from Minnesota North Stars with Rick Bennett and Brian Lawton to New York Rangers for Brett Barnett, Paul Jerrard, Mark Tinordi and round 3 pick in the 1989 draft (Murray Garbutt)
1988-Dec-12 Traded from New York Rangers with Todd Elik, Michael Boyce and future considerations to Los Angeles Kings for Dean Kennedy and Denis Larocque

Blaine Stoughton | Larry Pa(t)ey | Rick Bennett

.
Stoughton - 2 time 50 G scorer (3 if WHA counts) finished his NHL career at 31 w 14 games as NYR
.
Rick Bennett was supposed to be the next great power winger,
Coming out U Providence (where he'd been recruited by Lou L),
played 15 NHL/NYR games across a couple months then a couple seasons.
Then a few years in minors eventually becoming a player coach, then NCAA coach
Actually has sent quite a few guys, from Union College, into NYR org last 10 years
Keith Kinkaid while he was AC, then he head-coached
Mat Bodie (NYR ELC+, 3 seasons w Pack), Josh Jooris (12 NYR games), Jeff Taylor (parts of this and last 2 season w 'Pack)
Other NHL'ers he coached - Gostisbehere, Dan Carr, Troy Groesnik

I don’t see Ron Greschner’s name in these boards much unless it is in a user name. He was our #1 D man for years and married a supermodel. Wore my favorite number - #4.

He was one of our best players and not some obscure cup of coffee roster dude. Old timers will remember him well. Newer Ranger fans may not he as aware of him.

he was more than just a guy, he was a hell of a guy!

My first favorite Ranger!

Man, Terry Virtue. One of the rare true minor league lifers. Played a total of 5 NHL games, yet played over 1100 games between the AHL, ECHL, and CHL (the defunct Central Hockey League).

Gresch makes a few posts in the 70-79 hockey group I am a moderator in . It's fun having a chat with one of your idols . I think we have about 300 ex pros in the group . If you like 70's hockey....and it has some great pics of days gone by , feel free to join up . There is no talk on anything outside the 70's and it is a very well moderated group . I would post the link if a mod here approves . I think Bobbop is also in the group ...plus lots of WHA stuff .

Greschner had a heck of a career. A lot of ups and downs. He was the bridge between the end of the classic Francis Era of the Rangers to the Sasson gang, Smurfs, Esposito insanity, and finally a return to normalcy with Roger Neilson.

He got to play in one SCF and two Conference Finals.

The reason he probably isn't more well known is by the time he became an elder statesman on the team was the end of the Brooks and beginning of Esposito era, the later was a carnival. He had a lot of injuries (broke his back and was out a year) and played center at times too.

Besides stories my uncles would tell me, I only really remember him at the very end of his career when he was a 6-7 D and mentored a very young Brian Leetch along with David Shaw and Mark Hardy.

After the 1990 season, Neil Smith did not renew his contract. He apparently had an offer to join the Penguins from Craig Patrick, but chose to retire.

He was even on MTV once, a gameshow called Remote Control doing a charity thing.

I remember listening to the games on the radio back then and to me Gresch was almost a super hero figure in my mind . I think Marv Albert and Red Light did the broadcasts...it was awesome when I could actually could get the signal for a full game without it drifting off .

I’ll always remember Gresch dangling past Potvin in the ‘84 playoffs (the Morrow game) to get a ridiculous goal.

He also got the game winner in game 6 vs the isles in’79
