This began as a mailing list project, but it grew into something more. This became not only a way to relive the Stanley Cup Championship, but a way to create some kind of tangible testimony to what that spring meant to me at the time, and what it still means now. A lot has changed; I've gotten out of college, I've gotten a job, I've had to (gasp) occasionally miss Ranger games, and part of the whole thing is that I'm technically not allowed to be a Rangers fan anymore. But while my relationship to the team may change, nothing will take that year away. This is the story of that spring, not only on the ice but in my dorm room and in my family room, too.
Each of these entries was written either on or before the date in 1999 (they began with Feb. 7, since just before then was when I was given the idea), and each was sent to the mailing list early that day. I've tried to keep them identical to what actually went out, as much as possible. Some things referenced have changed; others, obviously, refer to things that happened the day before, either in 1994 or in 1999. Some may make no sense at all; those are either inside jokes or complete lunacy on my part, and I wouldn't want to bet either way.
The entries are available in one of two forms:
One big file, everything from Feb. 7-June 17, which is somewhere in the vicinity of 175K. Great if you have a fast connection, or want it all in one fell swoop.
Individual date index
By date. They're linked (sorry, forward only -- but that's why you have a 'back' button, eh?), so you can start in February and work your way all the way to the parade on June 17.
Files in bold are of some particular relative interest.
