New York Rangers Tickets Information
Two-time winners of the Presidents' Trophy (1991-92 and 1993-94), the New York Rangers were one of the Original Six teams in the NHL, along with the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Boston Bruins, the Detroit Red Wings, and the Chicago Blackhawks.
In their career, the New York Rangers have taken 4 Stanley Cups: in 1927-28 (against the Montreal Maroons), in 1932-33 (against the Toronto Maple Leafs), in 1939-40 (again putting the Toronto Maple Leafs to shame), and then 54 years later in 1993-94 (against the Vancouver Canucks). The Rangers have also won five Atlantic Division Championships and one Eastern Conference Championship.
Continuing their fierce rivalry with fellow Atlantic Division teams the New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils, the Rangers help make the Tri-state area a hub for hockey fans and, with the Mets, Yankees, Jets, and Giants as their neighbors, an exciting place to be for lovers of all sports.
With a new head coach at the helm, the Rangers hope to take it to the next level. Former Tampa Bay Lightning coach John Tortorella joined the team in the middle of last season and led the team to the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Rangers held a 3-1 series lead against the Washington Capitals and lost the series in 7 games. Regardless, Tortorella bring a mean streak to a team that prides itself on toughness.
New York Rangers tickets will also give you an up close and personal view of Henrik Lundqvist keeping a tight lock on the goal. Breaker of numerous Swedish national hockey records, winner of numerous Swedish hockey awards (Most Valuable Player, Goalie of the Year, Player of the Year), Nominated for the Vezina Trophy, and a 2006 Olympic gold-medalist, Lundqvist is widely considered to be one of hockey's finest goalies.
