John Amirante in 2005

The Rangers great and 1994 Stanley Cup champion shared his memories of legendary Garden anthem singer John Amirante, who died Tuesday at the age of 83. As told to The Post’s Brett Cyrgalis.

Probably the most memorable version of the national anthem John Amirante ever sang, he never really heard. No one did.

That would be June 14, 1994, just before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, Rangers vs. Canucks. I can honestly say I loved hearing John, every rendition.
