Morning Brief: April 9
Today is the 99th day of the year… which made us think of a certain former Ranger. Times are good this season at MSG—with two games left in the regular season, the blushirts have secured the NHL’s best record and the President’s Trophy. The Rangers haven’t done that since 1994, meaning the Great One never won it with the team.
