Question 6

In the first round of the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Rangers defeated the Devils in five games. In that span, my rivalry with Devils goaltender, Martin Brodeur, came to a tipping point. In Game 3, at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers went on a 5-on-3 power play advantage where I began to screen Brodeur with my hands and stick. I did not receive a penalty because this had never been attempted in a game before, therefore there was no rule instated until the following day. From then on, this rule would be named in my honor.

Question 7

As the lowest draft pick the Rangers selected since Al Montoya in 2004, I have been an irrationally annoying obsession by Rangers Twitter for three seasons despite objectively not performing up to standards. After not maintaining consistent minutes at the NHL level, I was subsequently called down to the Wolf Pack for development in the 2019-20 season, which sparked my leave from the franchise.

Question 8

I hold the lowest Goals Against Average in NHL history amongst all goaltenders who have played at least one game. I set this statistical ‘record’ starting all of my career games with the Rangers in the 2014-15 season.

Question 9

As the last Ranger to ever sport the No. 9, I was acquired by the team in a late-season trade in the 2001-02 season, however, my nail-biting shootout attempt in the 1994 Stanley Cup Final contributed to the Rangers subsequent series victory.

Question 10

My free agency signing in 2010 would lead to the game-winning overtime goal in Game 5 of the first round in the 2017 playoffs, although I was on the Kings at that point. This signing that I made would bring in many more goals for the franchise, too.
