What was the hype around the Rangers before the 93-94 season?

Don't forget Ace Bailey (R.I. P.) , J.P. Parise and Ken Morrow.

Before my time, fortunately. My first Ranger memory is the '86 playoffs.

That Ron Francis goal from beyond the blue line in game 4 is probably the most crushing blow in my years as a Ranger fan.

Me too. You could feel what was going to happen. 91-92 was a great season to watch. Went to a bunch of games that year.

I know that one team bowed out in the second round and the other one ended a 54 year curse, but how do the 92 and 94 teams compare?

The biggest difference was experience. Graves, Leetch and Richter all had less than 5 years of experience. Richter wasn't even the true #1. There weren't guy's like Larmer and Lowe. The 92 d-corp wasn't as good as the 94 team.
