I’ve been a Rangers fan my entire life. I don’t tell you that to brag, I tell you that to set the tone for what I’m about to tell you. Every Ranger to ever put on the jersey has a memory etched into my brain.
Ironically enough, these memories sometimes don’t have anything to do with the player’s skills themselves. For example: Marek Malik did not have the best career in New York, but the first memory to come to mind when I think about him is that between the legs shootout goal against Washington. Or that the first memory of Sandis Ozolinsh I have is that own goal he potted in Game 2 against the Devils back in 2005-2006 even though he had a really good rental stint in New York that year.
