MUZZ PATRICK, DEFENSEMAN ON THE 1940 RANGERS STANLEY CUP-WINNERS: "In hockey," said Patrick, "a goalie does nothing that other people do. Except for his sweater, he even dresses differently." 2.

HALL OF FAME GOALIE TERRY SAWCHUK WHOSE LAST NHL GAME WAS AS A RANGER: After a losing playoff game, Sawchuk met the media with this line: "I got one thing to say, gentlemen. I didn't have a good night!" 4. HALL OF FAME RANGERS MANAGER LESTER PATRICK, DISCUSSING BRUINS GOALIE FRANK BRIMSEK WHO HAD JUST SHUT OUT HIS BLUESHIRTS: "Trying to get Brimsek to make a first move is like pushing over the Washington Monument!"
