It's going to depend on how the rest of the playoffs go...

Perhaps the biggest moment since 94.

I watched that game on my phone while in the waiting room while my wife was in labor with our first child. That was a moment I will always remember.

I was at the game tonight, and that was the greatest MSG moment I have witnessed in person.

Perhaps the biggest moment since 94.

was thinking this to
dont think i ever jumped for joy as much as i did in that moment

literally time stopped in those last few moments

gabbys 3 overtime winner was big, but this felt even better

The whole Richards scores late then Staal wins it was amazing, but I think this tops it.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Richards goal certainly tops this one all things considered. Both are great but it comes 2nd place to richards IMO.

 

[JJJAAAMMM]

I think they are very close but you have to take into consideration the round. The ECF brings this up a notch. Heading back to MTL in the ECF up 3-1 is so insanely important compared to going back tied 2-2. This was the biggest goal in 20 years.

It must have been simply amazing to be at MSG and witness that goal, really see it happen.

and Richards' goal saved us from being down 3-2 heading to WSH Without that goal we essentially don't even make the ECF. Plus the whole clutch factor with 6 seconds to go and all.

Ding, ding, ding! If the Rangers don't advance, who cares?

 

[KingWantsCup]

Perhaps the biggest moment since 94.

It is. This is the closest we've been to the finals since.

It was more magical, but less important. Marty's goal will prove to have much more impact. No one will remember the context of Richards goal in 20 years. If we make the cup finals this goal has much more staying power. It was huge.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

It is. This is the closest we've been to the finals since.

Also my determining factor, those other goals were awesome but they were in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

Why isnt Staal doing this on our PP still! lol

 

[Cake or Death]

Tough to say where it ranks since I've been watching the team about four decades. Tonight's ending was exciting. But if I have to be honest, I flipped out vastly more last round when the final buzzer sounded and the seemingly impossible comeback against the Pens was complete. No idea where I'd rank tonight's game, but it's been a great run this season.

Nail on the head. Tonight it's still fresh and a fantastic moment, but if we in a week are shopping for new golf clubs and fishing equipment, then this will fade away fairly quickly. Then most of us will want to forget about this whole series as soon as possible. Hopefully this will still be a awesome moment 10 and 20 years from now.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Biggest goal I've ever seen the Rangers score.

Need to finish it off and make it legendary.

 

[Tikkanen10fan]

It's new and exciting..can they make him captain already??..but there were some magical goals scored in the 97 playoffs.
Graves wrap around. The comeback in game 4 until Lindros scored with 7 seconds left.

 

[Tawnos]

In my time... it might be top-10, if we're just looking at playoffs.

Here's some of my favorites:

1992 Game 7 Destruction of Devils
1994 Game 3 ECF Double OT Matteau
1994 Game 6 ECF Messier Hat Trick
1994 Game 7 ECF Matteau Double OT
1994 Game 4 SCF Bure Penalty Shot
1994 Game 7 SCF Leetch Goal
1994 Game 7 SCF Cup win, obviously
1997 Game 3 ECQF Tikkanen OT Goal that hit the camera
1997 Game 4 ECQF Gretzky Hat trick
1997 Game 5 ECQF Tikkanen OT elimination goal (I really liked that series)
1997 Game 5 ECSF Graves OT elimination goal vs Devils
2007 Game 3 ECSF Roszival Double OT
2008 Game 5 ECQF Chico Resch cries
2012 Game 3 ECSF Gaborik triple OT
2012 Game 5 ECSF Richards ties and Staal wins

Because McDonagh is doing it better.

2012 Game 3 ECSF Gaborik triple OT
2012 Game 5 ECSF Richards ties and Staal wins

That was so classic.

 

[NCRanger]

The closest historical comparison, RIGHT NOW, is Stemkowski's triple OT winner in a Game 6 at the Garden vs. Chicago in the semi-finals (1971). That forced a Game 7.

They lost the Game 7.

If this year's team advances, the MSL goal probably trumps that one, and moves closer to Matteau status.

 

[silverfish]

My favorite Rangers post-lockout moment continues to be Shanahan squaring off against Brashear at center ice. Despite Shanny's attempts to make me hate him in a certain position he used to hold with the league The way he was sticking up for Jagr there, and taking on Donald in that moment. Wow.

That MSL goal was a fantastic moment though, and hopefully not the best moment of these playoffs

 

[JJJAAAMMM]

Ha, Yeah Tikkanen in 97 refusing to play on just standing there with his arms up celebrating because he knew he scored. That was pretty memorable. That was an awesome run.
