They're not messing around in New York. It's the first trip to the Eastern Conference Final since 1997 for the Rangers, and it's a rematch of the phenomenal 1994 Conference Final against these same Devils. In that series, Stephane Matteau gave the Rangers the victory in double overtime of Game 7 to send them to the Cup Final and an eventual Stanley Cup victory.
Yes, Stephane Matteau Is At The Garden For Game 1
And this year, as they prep for the rematch before Game 1? Yep, Matteau.
Stephane Matteau was just on the Jumbotron. They're bringing out the heavy artillery.

True story: If this series reaches a Game 7, it’ll be on the anniversary of Matteau’s Game 7 goal.
