[Filthy Dangles]

Off-season thread.I could be wrong but I figured it came down to 3 guys, and a (half) joking option, being an off season thread.

nice recency bias - i guess the first 60 years didn't count

Frank Boucher, Bryan Hextall Sr, Bathgate, Ratelle, Gilbert, Park and ~15 others

certainly not Mess - he was great, he did a great thing, but not greatest NYR ever ..

 

[Lone Ranger]

Brett Howden, and he's just getting started!

 

[LokiDog]

Brett mother fudgling Howden. Change my mind.

 

[Jauffre]

Thomas Pock immediately comes to mind

Besides Brian Leetch world war 1 vet Bill Cook. Didn’t start his career with the Rangers until over 30 years of age. Oldest player to win scoring race in the NHL until St. Louis did it in 2013. Some cool facts. Frank Boucher even said he was a better right wing than Gordie Howe and Rocket Richard

Emile Francis

Team was crap until he took over and despite not winning the Cup the Rangers had a great run and was a top team for most of his tenure.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Leetch and Hank are close, but I'll go with the latter.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Gretzky

Todd Harvey

 

[Roo Returns]

Frank Boucher or Lester Patrick Don't let the lack of media then full you. Cups Won Bro.

I believe the third choice is missing an "e"

 

[Blais to Win]

No one has had as long, diverse and impactful a relationship with this team and as spotty a record as Glen Sather.

Here's to another 50 years of excellence.

I hate to be that guy but it’s kinda reasonable not to count anything before like 1970 and since then the answer has to be Leetch.

The same reason no one really counts Norm Van Brocklin or YA Tittle or Otto Graham among the NFL’s all time great QBs anymore. It’s a different game.
