Say one thing about the folks who run Madison Square Garden: When it’s time to do celebrations and tributes and that sort of thing, they put on a first-class show.
The Garden celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Rangers' 1994 Stanley Cup triumph Friday night, before the current team took on the Carolina Hurricanes, and everything came off perfectly.
“Twenty-five years ago we stood right here and raised the Stanley Cup,’’ Mark Messier, the indomitable captain of the ’94 Rangers, told the adoring crowd in the on-ice ceremony that recognized the players and others who made it happen.
