New York Rangers History
The Rangers, one of the Original Six NHL teams(Opens in new tab), were founded in 1926 by Tex Rickard. According to legend, the New York media nicknamed the team “Tex's Rangers,” a play on the famed law enforcers Texas Rangers.
The team has won four Stanley Cup Championships, the first of which came in only their second season (1928) and the most recent in 1994, beating Vancouver in Game 7 to break a 54-year drought and send Cup-starved fans into a frenzy. The Rangers have also taken home four Presidents’ Trophies and won eight divisional championships — most recently winning both for the 2023-2024 season.
The Rangers' 2017-2018 campaign broke a string of seven consecutive seasons in which the team reached the Playoffs — including the 2013-2014 campaign, which ended in a five-game series loss to the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Final.
Among the Hall of Famers to don the Rangers sweater are Andy Bathgate, Eric Lindros, Phil Esposito, and Wayne Gretzky. Nine players have had their number retired by the team: Bathgate, Ed Giacomin, Rod Gilbert, Adam Graves, Harry Howell, Brian Leetch, Mark Messier, Jean Ratelle, and Mike Richter. Herb Brooks (1937-2003), who coached the Rangers from 1981-1985, also coached the U.S. Olympic hockey team to its "Miracle on Ice" victory over the Soviet Union and on to a gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, N.Y.

It was a great sendoff to Sam Rosen. MSG has really stepped up their game regarding food and beverage at the venue although it still drives me nuts that they take the top from your water bottle. If you’re gonna charge me $5.50 for a bottle of water then at least give me the cap so I can leave with what I haven’t finished.
Great to go to the Garden, but the Rangers played a sloppy game. So many bad passes
I found the whole experience a bit dull and bland, the lower tier of the arena with hideously expensive seats was not full and plenty of seats free upstairs. It was my first (and last) experience of US sport and despite the Rangers best attempts to hype it up, the event was a bit underwhelming with a game of 3 x 20 mins lasting well over 2 hours.
MSG is always an amazing event. Clean seats, good food, concession prices were reasonable (about $25/person). We loved our seats, sound system and board were good and understandable.
When I bought these tickets, I swear there was not any kind of notification of there being any issues with the view from the seats but when I got them there was. The seats were okay but view was messed up because of the ceiling - we were not able to see the score board, which was very annoying! There were some tvs by our section but not comfortable to view necessarily. Thankfully the Rangers won, and the Tribute to Sam Rosen was great, but the seats- not great!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at MSG. It started with the easy ticket purchase. It continued with a great pregame ceremony & a fantastic game. Overall a fantastic experience & I look forward to my next game.
We are huge Rangersfans and came all the way from Europe to experience the Rangers in MSG. And the show was amazing, even though the Rangers lost. The game was tight all the way through and there were so many activities that four hours flew by. One minus though: The fans we sat among could have behaved better. Rangers played Maple Leafs and during the Canadian national anthem many of the fans in our area were boo-ing, which was both annoying and extremely disrespectful.
The Ranger game was as exciting as always. Security was excellent. My only complaint was the audience booing when the Canadian national anthem was sung. That was embarrassing to me as a proud American.
Everything went very smoothly and was easy to access tickets & get into the venue was very efficient
