Today in NYR History April 13:


1933: The Rangers win their second Stanley Cup in franchise history, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, 1-0, in Game 4. Rangers captain Bill Cook scores 7:33 into overtime to win the game.



1940: The Rangers win their third Stanley Cup in franchise history, beating Toronto, 3-2, in Game 6. Bryan Hextall Sr. scores at 2:07 of overtime to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens and a six-game series victory in the Stanley Cup Final. It comes seven years to the day after Bill Cook's overtime goal gives the Rangers a 1-0 win at Toronto and a Cup-winning victory in Game 4 of what was then a best-of-5 Final. The 1940 Cup was the Rangers' third championship since entering the League in 1926; little did their fans know that the next one wouldn't arrive until 1994. The 54-year drought is still the longest in NHL history.



1990: NY Rangers beat NY Islanders 6-5, Rangers win Patrick Divison Semi-Finals, 4 games to 1.
