Here is some more Ranger history from The Maven himself.
We all know about Artemi Panarin as the Rangers "Breadman." But did you know that the Blueshirts actually had two different "Bread Lines?"
That they did, and the original came with the first year of the franchise, 1926-27.
Center Frank Boucher and the Cook Brothers – right wing Bill and left wing Bunny (or Bun) – got the "Bread Line" moniker because they were the best scorers on the team.
"We were the Rangers 'bread and butter,'" explained Boucher, "so it was natural for us to be dubbed 'The Bread Line.'"
Shortly after they retired in the mid-1930's, manager Lester Patrick crafted what would be called a second "Bread Line." It included the Colville Brothers – center Neil and left wing Mac – along with right wing Alex Shibicky.
This was during The Great Depression when there were "Bread Lines" for the indigent all over America. Once again the second version was a top unit which helped the Rangers win the 1940 Cup.
They not only provided the bread and butter for the Blueshirts but brought home the bacon as well!
