On June 20th, so, we're talking about a major betrayal in Rangers history and the name Lynn Patrick keeps coming up. He was a star player for the team, and then Frank Boucher, a big figure for the Rangers, really gave him his coaching career, starting him off in their minor league system before making him the head coach of the Rangers themselves. Patrick even led the team to the Stanley Cup final back in 1950 They pulled off a huge upset against the Montreal Canadiens to get there. It was a wild ride, and they actually made it all the way to game 7 of the final, losing in double overtime to the Detroit Red Wings. The team was looking good, with most of the key players still around, and everyone was hyped for the next season. They felt like they had a real shot at going all the way.
But then the unthinkable happened. Patrick, who owed so much to the Rangers organization, just up and left. He decided to take his talents to their biggest rivals, the Boston Bruins, becoming their head coach.
This move was seen as a massive double cross by many fans and people close to the team. It was a shocker, especially after the success they had just experienced and the loyalty he seemed to have. Stay locked in with New York Rangers News Today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with the story.
