OT: Let's Remember Some Guys

I actually thought Marcel Hossa was a pretty solid 3rd line winger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not fleet of foot, but strong on his skates

I have Marcel Hossa's broken stick from a game in Philly.

For my wife's birthday (Flyers fan) back in 06, I bought 4 tickets right behind the bench on the glass. I was with 3 Flyers fans and proceeded to get blasted. Spent most of the game in my Jagr sweater standing and cheering (maybe a bit of yelling at the coaches) for the boys in Blue. I think the entire arena wanted to murder me, it is Philly, but luckily the Flyers were up 3-2 halfway through the third period.

Then everything turned and Sykora scored with 40 seconds left to tie.

One minute later Jagr scored to win it in OT, great road win and what a game, I am beaming from ear to ear.

Until I realized that now the entire arena is staring at me and I might actually not get out of the arena. Then the Rangers equipment manager hands Marcel Hossa's broken stick over the glass to me (which he scored goal #1 with) and mouthes, good luck. Its the only reason I got out of there alive, it gave all of those drunk losers pause to mess with me for sure.

And I still got some that night!

Marcel Hossa = greatest Ranger of all time! Who needs Marian and Cups, I've got a stick and story!

Played in 4 Leagues. Czech League, Czech Republic Leaguer, Swedish League, and of Course the NHL where he did a 3 Year stint. All 80 of his NHL Games were with the NY Rangers.

Emile how'd you let these guys get away 8^)
(Dupont, Egers, Murphy for Carr, Lorentz wasn't Top 10 Bad NYR trade, but perhaps top 25?
Dupont went to play 943 NHL RS+PO games after trade, Murph 897)

RIP Willis Reed, one of MSG's great home-team Centers of the early '70's
 
what was the deal with Mike Rogers? Pretty much never hear of this guy. Honestly think most Rangers fans who are under 45 will have never have heard of him. He had 100 points with the Rangers in the early 80s after back to back 100 point seasons with the Hartford Whalers.

He was a little guy....a center who was a really good playmaker and had a good amount of speed. Always played on the first or second line.

In Hartford, he was on a scoring line with Stoughton (remember him?) and Boutette (the "stash-dash-bash" line). For us, I remember him playing with Don Maloney and various RW's (Hedberg, EJ, etc).

Nice player, but I dont think he did much in the playoffs. He was part of the "Smurfs" for those who remember....

saw these 2 tweets today,
NYR photos from '60's, with home team in dark.
Had me wondering when "white at home" ("good guys wear white") had become the standard, since that was what it was for many years.
Seems that became standard in '70.
If I'd noticed that then, at age14, i had long since forgotten





"Between the 1970–71 and 2002–03 seasons, NHL teams wore white (or yellow) uniforms at home and dark uniforms on the road"

"Since 2003-2004, teams switched the two, and now wear colors at home and white on the road."

Just outside the top ten, but Jean Ratelle maintained a 0.95 ppt for 862 games as a Ranger! Then going 1.07 in 417 games after the trade to Beantown.
