The late great Rod Gilbert is someone who is forever synonymous with the Blueshirts, and he's an integral part of their history in so many ways. Gilbert's No. 7 was the first number retired for the New York Rangers, post playing career he served as a long-time ambassador who was a staple around Madison Square Garden interacting with fans, and most recently he had an award created in his memory.
He's named "Mr. Ranger" for a reason. The right winger is one of the best Rangers of all-time, as well as one of the best players in the NHL.
