1940! 1940! 1940! You could hear this chant in hockey arenas from Long Island to Vancouver. 1940, the last year the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup. Fifty-four years of heartache for the team and its fans.Finally, in 1994, the Rangers would do it, and for a Ranger fan, in the sweetest of fashions. The team captures the President’s trophy symbolizing the league’s regular season best record. In the first round of the playoffs, a Blueshirt four game sweep of the hated Islanders. Then, after beating Washington, the Rangers survive a semi-final seven game war with the Jersey Devils that ends on an overtime goal by Stephane Matteau. Finally, the Cup finals against Vancouver. In an ironic twist, the key moment of the series occurs in game four as New York goalie, Mike Richter atones for his faux-pas against Pittsburgh two years earlier. Richter stops Vancouver’s superstar Pavel Bure on a penalty shot, and three games later the 1940 chant would be no more!!
