What happened on July 19 in the history of the New York Rangers

To fans of the New York Rangers, it seems like everyone conspires against them. Whether it be a fine instead of a suspension for Tom Wilson to a last minute Winter Classic penalty shot for the Flyers, the number of times that the Blueshirts have been shafted are too numerous to recount.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no giant conspiracy to screw the Rangers. The golf gods even smiled on the Blueshirts and they won the draft lottery two years in a row.
