I ran into the fortune teller

Who said beware of lightning that might strike.......25 years ago last night....@ Madison Square Garden, the future was told and it wasn’t madam Marie.....the NHL all-star was held at the Worlds Most Famous arena....the first place Rangers were represented by Misters Messier, Leetch, Graves and of course Michael Richter....the game was a River Hockey shootout and st one moment the games most exciting and arguably best player found himself all alone at center ice with the puck for a an easy break away goal.....the Russian Rocket; Patel Bure, was flying in on net with nobody to stop him .....nobody that is except Mr Richter....the Garden rose to their collective feet and watched as the greatest American Goalie stonewalled the worlds greatest player....the Garden erupted......and it wasn’t just a great save in a silly all star game....5 months later in the Stanley Cup Finals these two would meet again....this time in Vancouver on a penalty shot, with the momentum of the series on the line Mr Richter once again stoned Pavel Bure.....the Rangers rallied from being down a game, won twice out west and won the series in 7....thanks for the memories Mike
