No. 11 hangs at MSG
Just hours ago, the New York Rangers honored Mark Messier by retiring his No. 11. What a fitting tribute for someone who will forever have a place in the city's sports folklore.
His accomplishments in New York alone are enough to make him a hockey hero. In 1994, he was the fearless leader of the Ranger team that ended a 54-year drought and brought the Stanley Cup to Manhattan. To say that was huge is an understatement. Unless you're a Boston Red Sox fan, you can't possibly appreciate how significant that was.
