[This is the first of multiple trash talking posts I'm making as League Manager of my Fantasy Hockey League with a crop of hockey friends and family, Enjoy!]
Why are we looking back nearly 20 years, you ask?
Well, last year, the Rangers came within two games of making it back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since their 54-year-drought ending Cup win. So, rather than hoist a "NYC Area's Second Best" banner, let's give the Rangers fans out there something to look back on:
The Last Time the Rangers Won the Cup…
-Brazil won the World Cup
-Cowboys beat the Bills in Super Bowl XXVIII – the last of 4 straight appearances by the Bills
-Rockets beat the Knicks in 7 games
The Good Parts:
-Schindler’s List won the Oscar for Best Picture
-The following movies came out: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Blank Check, D2: The Mighty Ducks are Back, Major League II, Speed, The Lion King, Blown Away, Little Big League, Forest Gump, Angels in the Outfield, True Lies, The Mask, Clear & Present Danger, Pulp Fiction, Little Giants, The Shawshank Redemption, Dumb & Dumber
- Woodstock was revived with Woodstock ‘94
- Green Day released ‘Dookie’
- Nirvana’s ‘Unplugged in NY’ came out
- Soundgarden released ‘Superunknown’
- Aerosmith released ‘Get a Grip’
- 'All That!' and 'Ahh! Real Monsters' make their debuts on Nickelodeon.
And Now The Bad:
- Kurt Cobain offed himself [or Courtney Love killed him, whichever way you prefer]
- John Candy died of a massive heart attack
- Richard Nixon died.
- ‘Dinosaurs’, ‘Tale Spin’ and ‘Saved by the Bell: The College Years’ were cancelled… okay, maybe that last one was a gift from god and should be placed in the “good” list.
- Cesar Romero died, he was the original Joker.
- Dakota Fanning was born.
- Baseball went on strike, and that pretty much killed the Montreal Expos
Oh and if you needed any more of a reason why 1994 sucked...
...Justin Bieber was born... nuff said.
