    The Rangers actually got more press coverage that year than the Knicks did, if you can believe it. That will probably never happen again in my lifetime. Hockey on the whole was red hot. Ratings were at an all-time high and the NBA was without Jordan at that time. He was playing baseball lol.

      It really was.
      I was 5yrs old when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup back in 1994. But I didn't become a permanent fan of the Rangers until I was 17 and graduated from high school back in 2006.

      It sure was Mike. I was 14 at the time. I grew up on PEI - Canada's smallest province. I will never, ever forget that spring! What an epic run by both teams. I was cheering for both the Knicks, and Rangers, to pull it off! The reason why I am watching this video is because 25 years later, the memories are still vivid, and fresh.

      @Sanjay Iyer : You are correct. Like yourself, I think the Yankees would have made it to the WS that season. However, I think they would have lost to the Montreal Expos. The Expos were on fire that season, and had the best record in MLB.

      If Pat Riley had been SMARTER in game 7 there in the decisive final game of the series in Houston to ride with Hubert Davis instead of John Starks then the Knicks would’ve won there too now! #Facts 👌🏼🔥 Despite Starks being a perfect 4 of 4 with foul shots he was also a dismal 2 of 7 from two point range and a PITIFUL 0 of 11 from 3-point range shooting at the same time there in a “MUST WIN” situation there going 6 of 22 in shooting as entirety for the game there. 🤮👎🏾🔥🔥

    To think that New York could have been a perfect 4/4 in 94 if the Giants had beaten Dallas at the end of the season, and gotten homefield as a result, if only Starks would have made that three at the end of Game #6 against the Rockets until Hakeem got a fingertip on it, and if the 94 baseball strike hadn't happened! So close, yet so far, even if the Rags got their long awaited cup, albeit came at a huge price down the road though!

    • @sanjayiyer489

      Had the strike not happened, the greatest moment in New York sports that year would have been the Yankees, regardless of how far they went in October. The Yankees were against a curse that had left the team ROTTEN TO THE CORE, which was Steinbrenner's ruthlessness and that year, they were in revival and Don Mattingly hadn't been in October to all at his career. The Yankees hadn't been to October since 1981 and it appeared that 1994 would be the year, but the strike took it all away.

    There is something so dishonest about Stan Fischler's participation in this program. In the Spring of '94 he was still the ultimate Ranger-hater and smoocher for the Islanders and Devils on Sportschannel. He even argued in the immediate years following 94 that Matteau's goal should have been disallowed because he was in the crease (he wasn't). But ever since SC and MSG merged together, Fischler knew he had to airbrush from existence his hatred of the Rangers since the Emile Francis era and reinvent himself as the kid who'd been the Rangers fan growing up. He simply had no business commenting in this program.

      ah c'mon lol. Belfour's done worse. I'm a Canadian but it was totally obvious back in the 90s that Richter was the best goalie in the world for at least a 3-year period and probably longer. Certainly from the 1993-94 NHL season right up until the 1996 World Cup of Hockey when the U.S. beat Canada because the Canadians just could not score on Richter. He was a wall.
