New York Rangers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Last year the New York Rangers did what was expected when they hired Peter Laviolette as head coach. Laviolette led the Broadway Blueshirts to the Eastern Conference Final, where they bowed out in six games to the Florida Panthers. That set the stage for even higher expectations this season. However, the Rangers flopped out of the gate, causing speculation about the future of their second-year head coach. Laviolette has the resume of a coach that produces Stanley Cup runs. As January was winding down, New York did pick up the pace.

New York Rangers History
Founded as an Original Six franchise in 1926, the Rangers have four Stanley Cup championships, with the last one occurring in 1994. But for many fans, the Glory Years were the late 1960s and early 1970s when the Rangers did everything but win the Stanley Cup. Rod Gilbert, Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield, and Eddie Giacomin lit up the Madison Square Garden marquee and made the 1972 Stanley Cup Final, losing to Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Boston Bruins in six games. New York had several other near misses in that special era of team history.
The greatest moment in Rangers’ history came in 1994 when they ended a 54-year curse by winning the Stanley Cup. In a thrilling seven game series, the Rangers first had to get past the New Jersey Devils in the Conference Final. That win over the Devils will forever be remembered for captain Mark Messier going full-throttle Joe Namath and guaranteeing that the Broadway Blueshirts would prevail. Subsequently, New York won another thrilling seven game series against the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final. The Rangers clinched the Stanley Cup in front of their home fans in an unforgettable moment in time. The days of “1940” chants by hated Islander fans were shut up forever with the title.
