'92-'93 Disappointment Led to '94 Cup

Newyorkrangers.com continues their series on the 15th Anniversary of the 1994 Stanley Cup by looking at the reversal of fortune from the disappointment of the 1992-93 season to the jubilation of 1994...

"Regardless of the bigger picture, at least in April 1993, the idea that a Stanley Cup championship year would emerge from the ashes of the previous season’s debacle seemed crazy. Since divisional play had begun in 1967, no NHL team had ever won the Cupone year after finishing last in a division (the Rangers would become the first and only team to do it). In many ways, the most historic aspect of the Rangers’ 1994 Stanley Cup championship was not the fact that it ended 54 years of frustration, but rather than it unfolded in the wake of an unprecedented debacle."

...i think most Ranger fans forget about how bad that '92-'93 season was.

Newyorkrangers.com also a has a recap of Game 2 of the Rangers/Devils 1994 Eastern Conference Finals.
