Their No. 1 line that season was composed of center Phil Watson, left wing Lynn Patrick and right wing Bryan Hextall. Hextail scored the goal which gave the Blueshirts the Stanley Cup in a bitter series with Toronto. And his son Dennis gave the present day Rangers a big lift just when needed most in the hectic scramble for an NHL playoff spot. On February 23, the 1968-69 Rangers met the Boston Bruins under circumstances which resembled a fight between a blind man and a drunk.
