!960's and 70's

* Monreal Canadiens- Power forward John Ferguson. Rough and tumble winger that could fight and score clutch goals against the Blueshirts. Later became the GM of the Rangers.

* Boston Bruins- Wayne Cashman- Tall and rangy Power forward who  played on Phil Esposito's left wing giving Espo the time and space to become one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history. Cashman was also a feared fighter could score goals as well- Cashman later became an assistant coach for the Rangers. Derek Sanderson- One of the best penalty killers of his day that could score goals, fight and just be a big thorn in the side of the Rangers. He also became a Ranger later in his career. How about Ted Green, Johnny ( Pie) McKenzie

1970's to the present

* NY Islanders- Was there anything more annoying to a Rangers fan than seeing our little brothers from the Island scoring clutch goals, beating us up physically and winning big games and Stanley Cups ? How about power forwards, Bobby Nystrom and Clarke Gillies. The little terror with the big heart and bigger punch...Gary Howatt. The clutch goaltending of Battling Billy Smith. Currently, Matt Martin, Ross Johnston, Cal Clutterbuck and Casey Cizikas.
