Mark Messier is a living hockey legend, top five all-time. His leadership was unparalleled when it came to his contribution towards the NY Rangers' first Stanley Cup in more than a generation. With all the cups and all the accolades, Mark still remains grounded. I'd have to say Mark is one of my few heroes I could tolerate meeting and not regret it. Cheers!
When Messier raised that Cup in 1994 he raised it not only for those who were in MSG, not only for those who were watching on TV, and not only for New Yorkers. He raised that Cup for anyone who had ever been alive between 1940 and 1994 who rooted for the Rangers. I am sure that every soul that ever lived in NYC between those years was there in MSG that night.
As a lifelong Islanders fan, (which means an equally as long Ranger-hater) Messier (in my opinion) solidified himself in that '94 playoff run as the ultimate team captain. Watching him raise The Cup gave me chills. #salutecaptain #11
Great interview. Messier is an amazing individual. Smart, focused and with a lot of heart. You can’t listen to him without being inspired. Thanks Henrik
They said the oilers couldn't win without gretzky.Messier goes out and wins the hart and stanley cup.Said he's too old when he came to the rangers.He wins the hart and the presidents trophy twice and the stanley cup🐐
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! I would have loved to hear Mess explain what those particular “non negotiables” of the culture. Oh well, another chance to have Mess on again!!
God, I really wish that this year's team could find a place for Messier before the playoffs. He is the greatest captain of all time and his experience and intelligence can only help in the locker room. I absolutely love this man and I know he would make a huge positive impact on players like Krider, Panarin, Truba, and many others in the room.
The real question is, how the heck has the Rangers organization not had him in the organization all these years. Especially with some form of interaction with players? To me they totally dropped the ball!
I completely agree with you. It must have something to do with owner but I have no idea of what that could be... Messier is the greatest leader ever in hockey. He's right here. He has always been right here... :) @@rc642001
33:10...Made me think...Some people are built this way....some learn it...some a bit of both...some struggle their whole lives with it...I know where I am in that mix...The most important thing is not to judge anyone in where they are with these things. We are all on our own journey's what seems easy to one may be monumentally difficult and challenging for another...and that's just how life is.
Good interview but when you have a former Rangers player, let alone the most famous one, he really should be asked a few questions about the current team. On the subject about leadership, I really wish he would've asked Mark about the current Rangers, player leadership (5 Alternate Captains?) and coaching leadership.
ranger fans were pissed off at mark twice: (1) when he got roger nielson fired in 1992 and couldn't back it up. missing the playoffs in 1993.(2) when his ego got in the way in 1997, went back on his word and decided to go for the cash and leave the rangers after the 97' season. They spent the off season building around him and then he took off because garden management dealt with the pat rick ewing deal first and for big money, while messier stated "take a supporting role and play for less money" was on the table
This was a wonderful interview. I feel sorry that after listening to this, all you can say is he sucked with the Canucks. It didn’t work out for many reasons, but the fact that you can’t appreciate the intelligence and character of Messier as a man is sad.
I like the Rangers to be in the semi-finals or better in 2024. This could be the year, I am interested to see if they make any moves at the trade deadline. Good luck NYC. 🪄

That is exactly how my dad and many others felt when petro lifted the cup for the blues. It was a night I’ll remember forever
I remember when the Blues came into the league... :) @@bradyhill2136
The King and the Captain. Amazing, powerful and fun interview. Happy 2024!!

Messier being a huge U2 fan is something I didn't expect but I'm happy to hear
If you ever wanted to know why Messier is called "The Captain", just watch this interview. amazing stuff
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!

I love how humble mark messier is! 24:27
You must be joking.
Mark Messier
Should be an NHL coach or general manager in the future. Let's go New York Rangers ranger fan for life. Thank you, mark.😊

Mess needs to be in the Ranger organization in some capacity.
1000 %
Yes! :) @@PaulieV42

My childhood hero
I could listen to these guys speak for a dozen more hours. Please, more Messier... :)
I’m with Mark this should have kept going, I could listen for days. What an inspiring chat. Please do another one soon ! LGR ! #11 🗽
That was awesome. Great conversation and cool getting insights from both legends. Subscribed!
Pat and Henrik the two greatest NY athletes without a championship.....
You can put Rod Gilbert in that category as well
Ma message should be a general manager or a NHL coach in the future.
Let's go new york rangers😊
I wished he could have been the captain in 2014 for Henrik 💙❤️
Vi älskar dig Henke ❤❤
My two favorite Rangers of all time, the greatest captain ever and the King
Mark and Wayne. Great athletes and even better Men. Read, 'Messier', his biography. I read it once a year. They're different but the same.

Love that Hagstrom

6 MFing Stanleys ... Two without Gretz. This guy is the sauce.
Doth mine eyes deceive me!?!?!

no thanks
so much solid info on navigating life on this show
