Last Monday, two former New York Rangers entered the Hockey Hall of Fame: Václav Nedomanský and Sergei Zubov.
Nedomanský, a Czech icon, was the first player to defect to North America to play in the NHL. He split the final season of his NHL career with the St. Louis Blues and the Rangers in 1982-83. Zubov, of course, won the Cup with the Rangers in 1994 and with the Dallas Stars in 1999. He played 16 seasons of NHL hockey and dressed for 1068 games with the Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Dallas Stars.
