FIVE YEARS AGO: March 7, 1994

The Rangers lose 6-3 in Detroit against the high-flyin' Red Wings. Former Blueshirt Ray Sheppard nets the winner.

Mike Keenan is concerned: "They are far bigger and far more physical than we are," Keenan says. "If you ask me, I don't know that we can compete with them in a seven-game series."

Of course, the only place the Rangers and Red Wings can meet in a seven-game series is the Stanley Cup Finals. The odds are quite decent that some upstart expansion team could knock either one off by then...
