Twenty-five years ago today, Stephane Matteau became a Rangers' hero. Matteau, Matteau, Matteau is part of the lexicon of every fan of the Blueshirts. Some highlights below and Rick Carpinello did a great recap with quotes in his column in The Athletic today. In addition, I have posted the latest on the Hockey Buzz Mock Draft. We need several more owners and I will be reaching out to a few people to see if they are interested. On Memorial Day, thank you to those served and continue to serve to protect our country.
