Brian Leetch Night

Last night the Rangers officially retired Brian Leetch's number 2, someone posted some great footage of the lifting of the banner which you can see below. You've got to feel like you've truly made it when they hang your name in the rafters of a place like the Garden.

Over on the Rangers site, now officially part of the NHL network after all the grumblings, they have a tribute page set up here which includes interviews, videos, photos, and more.

Brian Leetch played 17 seasons in New York, holds more than 40 Rangers records, was an 11 time All Star, won the Norris Trophy twice and way back in 1988 he was rookie of the year. He becomes only the 5th player in Ranger history to have their number retired - after Gilbert, Giacomin, Richter and Messier. Adam Graves' number 9 will be retired at some point during next season but the date has not been announced.
