History

Historical Context

The New York Rangers, founded in 1926, won their first Stanley Cup in 1928 and enjoyed early success, but faced a 54-year championship drought after their 1940 victory, known as the "Curse of 1940." In 1994, led by Mark Messier, the Rangers ended this drought by defeating the Vancouver Canucks in a thrilling seven-game series, marking a significant moment in NHL history.
