What happened on June 2 in the history of the New York Rangers
One thing the New York Rangers like to do is to hire people who have had success elsewhere. Whether it was an Olympics gold medal team for Herb Brooks or Stanley Cups in Edmonton for Glen Sather or trips to the Finals for Mike Keenan or a Hall of Fame career for Bryan Trottier, you can count on the Rangers taking that route to try to find success.
