Brian Leetch Autographed Photograph - Mark Messier Mike Richter Triple 16x20

Product Description

When the New York Rangers retired Mike Richter's number on Feb. 4 2004 they not only preserved the memory of the greatest Rangers goalie in history but also honor the man who backstopped their unbelievable 1994 Stanley Cup championship. Richter ended his 15-season career with the Rangers as the franchise leader in wins and appearances by a goaltender and the 1994 All-Star Game MVP. His No. 35 jersey was just the third Rangers number to be retired joining fellow Rangers greats Rod Gilbert and Eddie Giacomin in the rafters of Madison Square Garden. After 54 years without a Stanley Cup the New York Rangers finally prevailed with the help of legendary Mark Messier. He came to the Rangers after winning five Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers and delivered on the ice. In 2007 Mark Messier was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame and his jersey was retired by the Rangers on January 12 2006. Brian Leetch established himself as one of the NHL's top defensemen and a surefire Hall of Famer over the course of his 18-year-long career which ended on May 24 2007 when he officially announced his retirement. Leetch won Rookie of the Year honors in 1989 and went on to earn the Norris Trophy (as the league's best defenseman) in 1992 and 1997 and the Conn Smythe Trophy (as playoff MVP) in 1994. That same season 1994 he helped lead the New York Rangers to their first Stanley Cup title in 54 years. The Rangers retired his number on Jan. 24 2008 raising a banner into the rafters at Madison Square Garden in his honor.
