@DrPepper12 Well, first off I'm a Ranger fan!! I hated those teams growing up, however, I respect what they did. I was thinking not so much in terms of championships, but years of dominance included. Yankees went to 7 world series from 1996-2009, and were always favorites every year, Devils had 20 straight winning seasons and we all know what the Pats did for so many years. Dodgers the last 15 years have outspent everyone, not a lot of championships to show for it but always in NLCS.
Respect to - Billy Smith, Bobby Nystrom, The Sutter Brothers, Clark Gillies (hated him) Mike Bossy, John Tonelli. And, last but not least Ranger fans favorite Dennis Potvin!
