ONE YEAR AGO: Feb. 17, 1998

As the U.S. Olympic hockey team is defeated by Dominik Hasek and the Czech Republic, 4-1, in Nagano, the New York media learns that New York Rangers Head Coach Colin Campbell has been fired (though it would not become official until Feb. 18). The team, thereafter under John Muckler, would play with more heart and intensity, and would be infused with more and younger talent in the next month and a half, but would continue to generate mediocre (and worse) results over the next 365 days.
