Today in NYR History May 4
1972: The New York Rangers win their first Stanley Cup Final game at Madison Square Garden since 1940 by defeating the Boston Bruins 5-2 in Game 3. Defenseman Brad Park has two goals and two assists for the Rangers, who haven't played a home game in the Final since April 3, 1940. In the 1950 Final, New York played two "home" games at Toronto and the rest at Detroit because the Garden was hosting the circus.
1997: Mike Richter records his eighth career playoff shutout, passing Dave Kerr for the most by a Rangers goaltender in franchise history in a 2-0 win over New Jersey.
