* Who was the first draftee to actually play for the Blueshirts?
* The current Madison Square Garden hosted the first Rangers game on February 18, 1968. Did the Blueshirts win? Who'd they play?
* When was the only time an opposing goalie was robustly cheered from the opening faceoff to the end of the game?
* Who was the first player of Chinese descent to play in the NHL when he debuted for the Rangers in 1947?
* Which unlikely Ranger ended the longest shootout in NHL history?
