The New York Rangers and Team USA have some serious backing tonight, as Rangers legend Mike Richter will be watching the game tonight. The former Stanley Cup champion has sent a positive message ahead of the Championship tonight.
The New York Rangers had multiple players in the Four Nations Face-Off tournament.
Team USA who will be competing in the championship tonight, the Rangers have in the lineup JT Miller, Chris Kreider, Adam Fox, and Vinnie Trocheck.
Unlike Sweden and Finland who had ex-Ranger Kaapo Kakko, and forward Mika ZIbanejad who will not get a shot at the title.
Richter sends his regards to those who were fortunate enough to compete and is appreciative of their effort.
Now, with Team USA competing against Canada, he's excited to catch the game tonight. He's going to watch and send his luck, as the game will be unreal, as the first battle between the two teams was an exhilarating bout.
Team USA heads into the Four Nations Face-Off Final, with a total of six points, two wins, and one loss to Sweden.
For Kreider and company to come out on top, they'll have to play hard-nosed hockey and shut down Canada's elite offense.
A task that needs to happen, especially when you have a legend like former Rangers goalie Mike Richter watching.
Vinnie Trocheck, Adam Fox, and JT Miller will have to find a way to get involved as the last Rangers player to tally a point during the round-robin was Chris Kreider, scoring a goal over his best-friends team, Sweden.
Don't let us down!
