Rangers Fan Inspires Hope with New York Post’s Mark Messier Guarantee
A dedicated Rangers fan brought a piece of history to the present during Game 6 against the Panthers, holding up the original copy of the New York Post from 1994 featuring Mark Messier’s legendary guarantee of a win against the Devils. This iconic moment captured on ESPN reignited the spirit of the Blueshirts’ historic victory in ’94.
In a mirror image of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, the current Rangers team faced a do-or-die situation in Game 6 just like their predecessors. Despite following a similar series trajectory with wins in Games 2 and 3, the Blueshirts fell short in Game 6 against the Panthers, ultimately being eliminated from the playoffs.
While fans and players alike hoped to replicate Messier’s triumph, a late goal from Artemi Panarin was not enough to secure a victory. The loss marked the end of the Rangers’ playoff run, leaving supporters to reminisce on past glories and look ahead to future seasons with renewed determination.
