Rangers legend has high praise for Adam Fox

Adam Fox has been tremendous for the Rangers during their postseason run.

So much so, he reminds Mark Messier of Wayne Gretzky.

“He’s got the Gretzky Factor, he sees things that nobody else does,” the Blueshirts legend told The Post ahead of Wednesday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Lightning at Madison Square Garden. “He’s playing chess and everybody else is playing checkers.

“His anticipation, the way he sees the ice and the skill set to take advantage of it, handle the puck in tight areas, never panics … just an incredible hockey player.
