Announcement: 2009-2010 New York Rangers tickets will be available soon.
The New York Rangers are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, originating in 1926 as an expansion franchise. They were a part of the group of teams referred to as the "Original Six." The Rangers were the first United States NHL franchise to win a Stanley cup. Since then they have been able to win 3 more championships along with one conference championship, and five division championships.
The 2005-2006 New York Rangers surprised critics with a strong regular season performance and a trip to the Playoffs for the first time since 1997. Rangers fans had been miserable for seven years. The joy was short lived in 2006 however as the Rangers were swept by the rival New Jersey Devils. With injuries to several players including Jaromir Jagr the Rangers were over matched by the Devils.
The 2006-2007 Rangers were even better than the 05-06 team. They lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Buffalo Sabres in 7 games. Hoping to add depth to the roster the Rangers signed free agent centers Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. This hardly made a difference as they lost again in the Semifinals, this time to the Penguins in 5 games. Hopefully after another year of experience together the Rangers will be able to make it further along in the playoffs. Stay tuned for info on 2008-2009 Rangers tickets.
