Congrats Vic! The GAG Line reunited in the rafters where they belong.
His acceptance speech was fantastic. Especially when he said that it’s his wish that everyone get to feel this way at least once in their life.
park should have his number retired......
No doubt! Hockey hall of famer!!!
Emil Francis is amazing!
95 years old this year.
I love when he had trouble putting on his jersey!!!! 🤣 great memories. I LIVED THE ERA
I was 10 years old when I went to my very first hockey game-- it was the last game of the season against the Canadiens at MSG in 1971-1972 when Vic Hadfield scored #49 and #50.
The original 11 with the Rangers.
Love "the Cat" ! I'm a Habs guy, but I liked many of the Ranger players growing up. I always felt they should have won several Stanley Cups in the 70's.
I got all teared up! Remember ALL these great, older players coming so close year after year battling hard to winning a Cup. Kept beating the previous years Cup winners in tbr playoffs so, just showed you how damn good they were! Gresh and Park also need to be up there in the rafters! Two of the greatest offensive defenseman the league ever saw!
Life long Springfield area Bruins fan here. It's nice to see the old time Rangers and 'Cat' Francis. He looks great! Great to see Park and Ratelle, too. They played great for the Bruins to finish their careers. Let's hope for a Bruins-Rangers playoff series!
Thanks Vic for all the wonderful years. God bless the GAG line!
Congratulations Vic!
God bless the GAG line, forever linked in the Garden rafters. Glad to see Chris Jericho dad the great Ted Irvine there as well! Ron Greschner #4 should be up there as well!!
Gresch is close, but I’m not sure his number merits retirement. He was a fine player though.
Gresch is a link though. He began his career when that team was winding down it’s eight-year run as a very good team, and ended it when Leetch had become the team’s best player.
Classic ranger
NY Rangers hockey heros all
Ratelle looks like Biden but Ratelle knows where his toes are
Ratelle is better
Hadfield got a penalty with 3 minutes left in game 7 with the Rangers trailing the Flyers by 1 goal back in 1974 in the penalty box he was smiling he got traded for that some teammate
Vic Hadfield retire son chandail numero 11
Classic gag line
think we could put Leetch's wife on the 4th line for some toughness?
And then the current Rangers choke a game away.
They still got a point since it went to OT but yes they should of won the game.
Stood by as Dave Schultz mugged Dale Rolfe in his last Rangers game. Disgraceful!
I've seen that clip where he just stands there and watches Rolfe get pummelled. The funny thing is he dropped the gloves all the time in the 60s.
I agree Jack and that was tough to watch, that game seemed end there.
@@bobby-jackbrewer7395 Exactly he had a front row seat with a bad ankle and should of stepped up and started punching Schultz. Francis was so pissed he traded his ass away in 6 weeks to the Penguins for the forgettable Nick Beverley.
@@robertkriwer2345 Well to be fair to the Rangers, Rolfe never missed a shift and played a solid game and the Rangers were the team coming on at the end after making the score 4-3. Parent made some good saves and then in the last minute the Rangers were called for a dubious too many men on the ice penalty. Ironically Hadfield was sent to serve the penalty and NBC caught him laughing in the box with fans sipping a guys beer. It was disgraceful! Ratelle always disappeared in the playoffs and Stemkowski stepped up against the Flyers with Vickers and Park.
@@jacksmith5692 ratelle with the rangers had bad playoff stats but when he went to boston he had some huge playoffs actually outplaying bobby clarke one on one in a series against philly and when they met up against montreal three years in a row he had two tremendous series including an overtime winner which was a hat trick for him ps i think i know why because he was better protected on the bruins there is actual video evidence of this on youtube in a playoff game against philly while with the rangers ad van impe cross checks him in the the face throat area and no ranger does anything
This defeats the entire purpose of retiring a jersey.
What??
