It depends on how “best game” is defined. If “best game” is being interpreted as simply a dominant overall team performance – then I think game 3 vs Atlanta in ’07 for the first playoff win at the Garden in almost a decade deserves a shout. 7 goals and a shutout for the King

2014 ECF Game Six. One of Hank’s all-time saves, an unsung hero and an absolute *lockdown* third period performance to send the Rangers to the Final for the first time since 1994.

2012 Conference Semi-Finals vs. Capitals – Game 5:
Down 2-1 late in the 3rd, pull Hank for the extra skater, Brad Richards scores with 6.6 seconds left to force OT. Staal scores in the first two minutes of OT. We went from staring down a game 6 on the road to try and force a game 7 to taking the 3-2 series lead before winning in game 7

recency bias would be the ’24 stadium series ot win or the double ot playoff win but also the flyers mika massacre of 2021 season

It’s gotta be 2014 ECF Gm 6. They played a great game, controlled the pace at the end of the game. Hank’s blocker save, Dom Moore’s goal. What a night!

ECF game 6 2014 has gotta be in. Exciting and meaningful

Mika 5 goals. I can still see the Panerin pass.

2015 game 7 vs the Caps. Low scoring series, both goalies locked in so the tension was high
Mysterious_Wheel
Definite recency bias, but Mika 5 goals was pretty intense. Nothing was gratuitous and the game was entertaining in top of being a big win

ECF Game 6 for me.

I’m skipping a lot, but I don’t care. Obscure Rangers Legend is Marek Malik for the 14-round shootout between the legs shot on Kolzig in 2005, and it’s not even close.

Martin St. Louis on Mother’s Day (totally biased because I was there with my mom.) I know it’s also too recent but I almost said the Stadium Series game this past January. I could not believe they came back and won.
