00:00We hockey fans are told that there are no easy victories in the NHL.
00:06Who knows better than the New York Rangers and their fans?
00:13For New York, it's the cup or the curse.
00:19And the crowd here taunting the Rangers with a chant of 1940.
00:23That's the last time the Rangers have won a Stanley Cup.
00:26The New York Rangers were cursed and fated to never win another Stanley Cup.
00:31To be a Ranger fan is to know pain and humiliation.
00:35It's a cup or bust. Until you win it, it is all bust.
00:39My dad had faith in everything. He believed that no matter what, you're going to find a way to do it.
00:45If you're a New Yorker, you know the tragic yet triumphant story of Stephen McDonald.
00:49Just two years on the force when he was shot three times.
00:53It just gave him life, going to the garden.
00:56He really loved the Rangers and they loved him as well.
00:59And it just kept him going.
01:01It was almost like it was written for a book.
01:05Winning doesn't happen by accident. Winning becomes a lifestyle.
01:10The New York Rangers and we, their fans, know that there are no easy victories.
01:23It's just one of those, I can't believe it moments.
01:29That's how they play the game. That's how we live our lives. That's how we like it.
01:34The waiting is over. And this one will last a lifetime.
01:39We're going to edit that out.
