On 01/07/2017, trailing 4-1, the Rangers come from behind to defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on the road. Michael Grabner scores the winning goal with under 20 seconds to go.
What made this moment more special was how the game was called by radio broadcasters Don LaGreca and Dave Maloney.
Montreal keeps on rolling with playoff OT win on the road. A favorite road OT win of mine, against these same Canadiens, is the 2017 ECQF one from Mika Zibanejad, and Sam Rosen making the call.

One of the most iconic moments in the Rangers-Devils rivalry, Sean Avery “screens” Martin Brodeur and eventually gets the goal. The 2008 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals was a very fun time.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Going back to the 70s this morning.

First, I want to thank everyone for their continued interest in this series. I enjoy seeing everyone talk about these moments, where they were when the moment happened, and the personal connections to each moment.
I also want to thank everyone for their suggestions! I would like to keep this going until around the start of the season. I have a list on my phone of different moments to share each day. Any suggestions you have are appreciated and encouraged! For reference, I am not going in any chronological order. I will be jumping around time periods.
For today’s non-94 moment, it’s the 2001 home opener against the Buffalo Sabres, the first regular season home game at MSG since 9/11. The Rangers rally and Brian Leetch scores the OT winner.
