1967 Rangers color film "Harry Howell night" 

This was great. Not a Rangers fan but sometimes I'd rather watch these videos than a game now.

This is for real old time Ranger fans, like me. I heard the radio broadcast of that special night on the car radio as a 13 year old. So many of those players have left us since. It was and still is a great game. Emile never won The Cup, but he was a great ambassador of the game, and a fine gentleman.

Best part is the glimpse of a game at the old Garden. Great atmosphere. Pre zambomi days guys skating with the barrels to clean the ice.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen the old Madison Square Garden in video footage, and it’s in color too which is amazing to see. I’ve learned a lot of things about this just from the video like how intimate the arena looked, very similar to Boston, also there were steps going into the locker room like Chicago used to have, looks like a very cramped hallway as well. A very interesting place

This is great to watch. The Vault was terrific as it captured hockey in its elements. Love the live game footage for Howell Night. Plus Emile Francis' pregame speech.

Wonderful footage, and some very young Rangers! - Hadfield, Gilbert, Ratelle. And check out the 'zamboni' on the middle of the video.

I still have a copy of the Program from that night. Last at MSG on 59th Street, they would the following season 68 into the current location, they was also the last year the Blue Jerseys were worn at home

Great video. Brought back memories of the Blueshirts in the mid 60's. Have only attended a few live NHL games. The second or third NHL game I attended had the Rangers going against the Leafs at MLG in Toronto. Believe the date was sometime in March 1965, where the Rangers lost by a small margin. Even back then, the Rangers had the makings of a good team. Their passing and playmaking was good.

One of the last games I attended at the old msg I was 16 , it was christmas week Dec 27,1967 vs the North Stars. It ended in a 3-3 tie. But it wasn’t until many years later did I realize that it was the only game Bill Masterton would play at msg. He died about a month later after hitting his head on the ice during a game.

That was Virginia Thomas on the organ. I was 17 at he time and started a fan club for her. Nobody joined.

Harry Howell had his #3 retired by the Rangers in 2009.

I am not a ranger fan but like these videos

MSG III never had a Zamboni. Watch closely for the guys scraping the ice with snow shovels and then two guys pushing a drum on it's sides with wheels to lay down a fresh coat of water. This continued in the new MSG IV in Feb 1968 for quite some years before they finally got first one Zamboni and then another.

Loved this, thanks so much. And I’m a Leaf fan.

First row of the side Balconies on 49 and 50 st were as good as any seat in the NHL. They hung over the ice and it was being right on top of rink.

Not a lot of footage from MSG 3....Great find !!

This is a great upload

Great clip. Recognized most of the players from both teams. I wonder if No. 24 for the Rangers with the white helmet was Red Berenson.

Look at the shiner on Orland Kurtenbach at the beginning!

3:58 a pretty good elbow on The Bruins buzz cut rookie number 4. Maybe it's the ice level perspective but the hitting- wow!

There is very little video footage of the Rangers playing a circa original 6 team on old MSG ice.

You know playing for the Rangers was tough when a 34 year old man looked like he was 65.

the fans smoking darts in the old Garden is classic lmao completely different time

Hockey the way it was supposed be played no helmets face mask just blood and guts

Last winner of the Norris before the Orr era

I believe...that could be Dave Dryden (Kens brother) in net for Chicago? He was mostly a back up at the NHL level and a few inches shorter then Ken. He would bolt for the WHA and then find himself back in the league with Gretzky's Oilers in 1980.

Not a Rangers fan either. But I always respected the Blueshirts and still do.

This was Madison Square Garden III's last full season

An old Zamboni :) 9:43

Virginia Thomas @ the organ 9:21 & 9:42.

Why was the jug hanging in the middle of the net? as a target to hit? It was right in the middle...why put it there as a target? Just seemed a bit odd

Reggie Fleming has fight with one Bobby Orr. Phil Esposito number 7 for the blackhawks. Ron Stewart wearing number 12 for the bruins.

Blue shirts rule 💙 👌!!

No agents for players back in the day

9:45 ?!

Hippies.
