NYR Alumni Birthdays 8/11:
Guy Labrie D (1944-1945) Larry Popein C (1954-1960) Chuck Rayner G (1945-1953)
Today in NYR History August 11, 1920:
Rayner, nicknamed "Bonnie Prince Charlie," signs as a free agent with the New York Americans and makes his NHL debut as a 20-year-old in 1940-41, going 2-7-3. He plays one more season with the Americans before the team folds. After three years in the Royal Canadian Navy, he signs as a free agent with the New York Rangers. His best season comes in 1949-50, when he goes 28-30-11, earns the Hart Trophy as most valuable player and helps the Rangers finish fourth and qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Rayner limits the Montreal Canadiens to seven goals in New York's five-game upset victory in the Semifinals. Though New York has no home games in the Final against the first-place Detroit Red Wings because of the circus taking place at Madison Square Garden, they get to Game 7 before losing on a goal by Pete Babando in the second overtime.
A knee injury costs Rayner the starting job in 1952-53, which turns out to be his last NHL season. He is voted into the Hall in 1973 despite a career record of 138-208-77.
