The Rangers experienced a downward spiral of game losses for almost twenty years, making the New York Rangers tickets holders quite unhappy. The team missed many playoffs in the NHL games, which really indicated that they were truly struggling. In the late 1960s the team came back completely rejuvenated and by 1968 they eventually made the playoffs for the first time in five years, thanks to the strength of their rookie goal tender Eddie Giacomin and their star right wing Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion, the New York Rangers tickets became a hot item again. In 1970 the Rangers made the Final two times but lost both times – they lost six games to Boston Bruins in 1972 and five games to the Canadiens in 1979.

About The New York Rangers
Through the 1980’s and early 1990’s, the Rangers remained competitive and made the playoffs every year but never saw much success in the championship. Many of their fans attributed this to the “curse of 1940”, which started when the team’s management symbolically burnt the mortgage to the Madison Square Garden in the bowl of the Stanley Cup. This either happened after the Rangers’ 1940 victory or by Red Dutton after the downfall of the New York Americans franchise. This led to the fans of New York Islanders chanting “1940! 1940!” In order to taunt the Rangers, and fans from other cities immediately picked up the chant.
New York Ranger tickets holding fans were pleased to watch their team succeed in the 1993-94 season, when head coach Keenan led the Rangers to their first Stanley cup in 54 years!
In 1996, Wayne Gretzky signed on with the New York Rangers, which quickly increased the sales of New York Rangers tickets. Gretzky led the team to the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost 4 - 1 to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Some New York Ranger tickets holding fans expected the Rangers to struggle through in the 2005-06 season – Sports Illustrated even the declared them as the worst team in the NHL – but with superb performances by the Swedish rookie goaltender Henrik Lundqvist Straka, Jagr and Pucha, they finished the season with their best record since the 1993-94 season (44-26-12). That season’s tickets were well worth the money.
