TODAY IN NYR HISTORY APRIL 29
1959: The New York Rangers and Boston Bruins begin a 23-game, 26-day exhibition tour of Europe, playing games in England, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany and Austria. The Rangers go 11-9-3 against the Bruins, thanks in part to the addition of Bobby Hull. The 20-year-old Chicago Blackhawks forward, who makes the trip in place of the Rangers' Andy Bathgate, becomes "The Golden Jet" on the bigger ice surfaces, transforming from a checking center into a freewheeling left wing with great speed and a tremendous shot; he goes on to score 39 goals and win the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's top scorer in 1959-60.
1971: Pete Stemkowski scores 1:29 into triple overtime to give the Rangers a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks in Game 6 of the Semifinals. The goal ended the longest overtime in MSG history.
2007: Michal Rozsival scores 16:43 into double overtime and the Rangers defeat the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
