New York Ranger Crisis SHOW # 109

This is truly a Ranger classic and a 1978-1979 regular season preview of what would eventually transpire in the playoffs that year as the Ranger went on to defeat the Islanders in the Semi-Finals.

At this time, the Rangers simply matched up very well against this particular Islander team. Also, J.D had his best season as a Pro this year which didint hurt their winning ways against the Hempstead club.

The game shown in the video took place on January 27th ,1979 at the Nassau Coliseum, the contest was an up and down affair with lots of hitting on both sides. The rangers wound up routing the Islanders 7-2 and ending the Isles 23 regular season game home undefeated streak

The game showcases Ulf NIlsson's talents as he tallys a fantastic five points (1 goal 4 assists). One other thing to take notice is Nick Fotiu's goal. Nicky's celebration has him jumping for joy like he just scored a Stanley Cup Winner.

this is amazing stuff. i dont know how u find such good videos but keep em coming. im a 43 yr rangers fan and 35 yr season ticket holder. I HATE THE NEW MSG BY THE WAY AND HOW THEY TREAT THE FANS and their new ticket prices are a joke. these were the days when i paid 10.00 for a stanley cup final ticket vs the habs in the blue seats.
