TAMPA, Fla. — Let us stipulate that you are not very likely to at any time see a far more formidable Rangers’ best four protection than the team the 1994 Stanley Cup champions sent onto the ice. It integrated a few upcoming Corridor of Famers in Brian Leetch, Sergei Zubov and Kevin Lowe and the hardest defeat cop all around in Jeff Beukeboom.
But the current major quartet compares favorably to any top rated 4 the Blueshirts have had in the interim. Or possibly it is a tad extra precise to recommend that this group, that includes Adam Fox, Ryan Lindgren, Jacob Trouba and K’Andre Miller, can be in contrast to the top rated 4 the Rangers had been establishing at the begin of their run previous ten years.
In the 2nd 50 percent of 2010-11, the Blueshirts experienced a top 4 of Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh and Michael Sauer — all aged 27 or more youthful — that appeared established for years to arrive.
Issues happened, however, the upcoming year. For as the 2011-12 Black-and-Blueshirts stormed their way to the most effective file in the East and built it to the conference ultimate, that leading 4 was in no way intact for so considerably as a single game.
