On Thursday night the New York Rangers were trying to clinch their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since they won it back in 1994, and a member of that championship team was in the house for Game 6 against the Montreal Canadiens.
Alex Kovalev shows off 1994 Stanley Cup gear during Game 6
Alex Kovalev was in the house on Thursday night and he busted out some of his old Stanley Cup gear.
During the first period the Madison Square Garden cameras caught a quick glimpse of former Rangers forward Alex Kovalev in the stands wearing an old school Rangers hurt. He then unzipped his jacket to unveil his 1994 Stanley Cup champion T-shirt, because Alex Kovalev is awesome.

He also spent five (very productive) years of his career with the Canadiens.
