20 Years Old Today
Twenty years ago today, I started Outside The Garden a few months after the old Rivals website for the Rangers closed down. I had moved out of New York by then, but still followed the team closely, even while they were mired in what would be a seven year playoff drought.
I had come to follow the team in the 1996-97 season, and the playoffs that season when the Rangers came back from Game 1 losses to beat both the Panthers and Devils in five games, before losing to the Flyers and the Legion of Doom in the Eastern Conference Finals.
