 | | The new team turned out to be a winner--in their first season, the Rangers won the American Division, but lost to the Boston Bruins in the playoffs. |
| | The Rangers won the Stanley Cup over the now long-defunct Montreal Maroons in only their second year in business, but it was not without some desperation: Coach Patrick had to be their goaltender for two periods of game two of the finals after regular goalie Lorne Chabot was injured. |
| | Still, the many playoff failures convinced Rangers fans that this was a manifestation of the curse of 1940, which is said to have begun when the Rangers' management burnt the mortgage to Madison Square Garden in the bowl of the Stanley Cup after the 1940 victory. |
