The memory of those Bruins, Flyers and Canadiens championship clubs might make it easy to forget that the New York Rangers had some potent clubs that came very close to winning it all. In the first two parts of our series on great Rangers squads that almost won hockey’s Holy Grail we looked at the powerhouse teams of the early 1970s.
Part three of our series focused on the 1950 Rangers, who had a losing season, but shocked the hockey world in the playoffs, upsetting Montreal and taking the powerhouse Detroit Red Wings to a seventh game in the Finals.
