ESPN Broadcaster Steve Levy Talks NHL, Frozen Frenzy

ESPN Broadcaster Steve Levy and Jonny Lazarus talk all things hockey including some stories about the legend, Mark Messier.

When it comes to the illustrious history of the New York Rangers, two names stand out above the rest: Mark Messier and Henrik Lundqvist. Both legends have left an indelible mark on the franchise, but the debate about who is the most decorated Ranger has been a topic of discussion among fans for years. ESPN broadcaster Steve Levy recently shared his perspective on this burning question.

In a candid conversation with host Jonny Lazarus, Levy offered his take on the matter. When asked whether Mark Messier or Henrik Lundqvist should be considered the most decorated New York Ranger, Levy didn't hesitate to express his opinion. He said, "It's not difficult at all; it's Messier, without a doubt. He put the city on his shoulders and, while Henrik deserves all the accolades, Messier is the one who truly put the Rangers on the map."

Host Jonny Lazarus chimed in, offering a fitting distinction between the two Rangers icons: "Messier is the hero, and Lundqvist is the king." This differentiation encapsulates the essence of their respective contributions to the team and the city of New York.
