But I know this: Someone on one of these teams is going to do something that\u2019ll be remembered forever \u2014 good or bad. That\u2019s Game 7.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As was Reggie\u2019s wont, he would volunteer his own services for that duty, hitting a two-run home run and leaping onto home plate with both spikes for good measure, helping the A\u2019s to a 5-2 win and a second-straight championship. It was good enough to earn him MVP of the Series even if he only hit .240 in it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the magic of Game 7. That\u2019s the wonder. That\u2019s what the Rangers have before them Monday night at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., when they\u2019ll try to spoil the Hurricanes\u2019 unblemished home playoff record, when they\u2019ll hope to squeeze into the Eastern Conference finals \u2014 halfway to the Cup.<\/p>\n<p>And when Someone will do Something that\u2019ll be remembered forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing is better than a Game 7,\u201d Walt Frazier said a few years ago, near the anniversary of one of the truly epic Game 7s ever. \u201cBut nothing is quite as terrifying, either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clyde, of course, delivered the coup de grace of Game 7 performances, going for 36 points and 19 assists (plus seven rebounds and four steals) when the Knicks knocked off the Lakers in 1970 for the franchise\u2019s first-ever title. That truly has lasted forever in the minds and hearts of Knicks fans.<\/p>\n<p>And the fact that it was a Game 7 \u2014 all the money on the table, winner take all \u2014 makes it so. If he\u2019d done that in Game 1? Or even in Game 6, in LA, wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing the series up a game early? He\u2019d still be the toast of the town, sure. Just not to the extent doing all of that in a Game 7 allows.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Messier delivered one of the most epic moments in Rangers history in 1994, first guaranteeing victory over the Devils in Game 6 of the Eastern finals, then securing that pledge with a natural hat trick. It remains one of the astonishing accomplishments in the whole history of New York sports.<\/p>\n<p>Still: When Rangers fans use shorthand to talk about those \u201994 Cup champs, what do they say?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMATTEAU! MATTEAU!!

It\u2019s forever. Endy Chavez could have caught that ball against the Cardinals in the 2006 NLCS with his shoes in Game 3 and it wouldn\u2019t have been as well remembered as the catch he did make in that Game 7. And similarly \u2014 proof that it isn\u2019t always balloons and teddy bears \u2014 one of the truly great careers any Met everyday player has ever compiled \u2014 the one belonging to Carlos Beltran \u2014 is, in the eyes of many Mets fans, canceled out to large extent because he didn\u2019t swing at that Adam Wainwright nose-to-knees curveball a few innings later.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 77th time a New York-area team will partake in a Game 7, a rich tapestry that dates to 1912 and the old New York baseball Giants (who, technically won a best-of-seven in Game 8, thanks to a tie) and the roster of unforgettable images and instant heroes is deep and eternal.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny Podres and Aaron Boone, bookend unlikely heroes, had their Game 7 moments. For Yankees fans of a certain age, the footage of Yogi Berra slowly jogging away from the left-field wall after Bill Mazeroski\u2019s blast remains a source of sporting trauma, as does Luis Gonzalez\u2019s bleeder over the infield. Nets fans lamented for months that Kevin Durant\u2019s shoes weren\u2019t a half-size smaller when his jumper at the end of Game 7 last year was ruled a tying 2 instead of a winning 3.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers are only here because Artemi Panarin scored in overtime 15 days ago, securing a Game 7 win over Pittsburgh in the last round. They know Game 7. They\u2019ve been to Game 7. They already survived Game 7. Do so again, get halfway to the Cup, we\u2019ll get a sporting buzz brewing in this city we haven\u2019t heard in way too long.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Penguins_Rangers_Hockey.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin (10) hugs left wing Chris Kreider after scoring the game-winning goal against the Penguins during overtime in Game 7.\" class=\"wp-image-22457404\"\/><figcaption>Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin (10) hugs Rangers left wing Chris Kreider after scoring the game-winning goal against the Penguins during overtime in Game 7.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And bank on it:<\/p>\n<p>Someone will do something.
