If Rangers fans were looking for another parallel to the team’s 1994 championship run, they got it on Thursday night.

The Rangers picked up another dramatic win over the Hurricanes in the second round of the playoffs for their seventh consecutive victory and are now 7-0 in the postseason, a feat they hadn’t accomplished since their last run to the Stanley Cup three decades ago. 

The magical run culminated in the Blueshirts’ first Stanley Cup championship in 54 years and also featured a Knicks run to the NBA finals, though the latter fell short of capturing a second championship that year for New York City.

That year the Rangers walloped the rival Islanders in a four-game sweep in the first round before they won the first three games of their second-round series with the Capitals. 

The similarities between the 1994 runs for both the Knicks and the Rangers have been hard to ignore over the past week as MSG has been the place to be with the first two games of each series taking place in Midtown Manhattan. 

Prior to Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Yankees manager Aaron Boone delivered a couple injury updates, including the status of top prospect Jasson Dominguez and veteran DJ LeMahieu.

Dominguez moves to DH in Single-A.
Boone provided an exciting update on Jasson Dominguez’s route return to the major leagues following Tommy John surgery on September 20, 2023. The 21-year-old will begin his rehab assignment with the Single-A Tampa Tarpons on Tuesday. According to Boone, Dominguez will DH for the first two weeks of the assignment before returning to the field.

Dominguez remains the Yankees’ top prospect, but has dropped to No. 37 overall in the MLB Pipeline rankings.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has a new deal.

So do team president Mark Donovan and general manager Brett Veach. The Chiefs announced that they have signed all three to contract extensions.

The Chiefs didn’t announce terms of the deals but said that “the leadership team of the Chiefs will remain in place for the long-term future.” 

The deal will also make Andy Reid the NFL’s highest-paid head coach. 

“Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” said Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
