New York Rangers fans have been patiently waiting for the team to hoist the Stanley Cup again. What younger Rangers fans probably don't know is that the 1994 win was their first Stanley Cup title since 1940. Rangers Stanley Cup drought was dubbed the 'Curse of 1940' by fansRemember when the Chicago Cubs had the "Curse of the Billy Goat" that resulted in them having a 108-year World Series title drought? The rumor had long been that they had to urinate in the Stanley Cup to put out the fire. Rangers also had the Dutton Curse to explain 54-year Stanley Cup droughtAnother theory that the Rangers faithful was that the "Dutton Curse" was another reason why the team didn't win a Stanley Cup for 54-years.
