The 1973–74 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 48th season.^[1] The Rangers compiled 94 points during the regular season and finished third in the East Division.^[2] The team made the Stanley Cup playoffs, where New York defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4–2 in the quarter-finals. The Rangers then lost in a seven-game semi-finals series to the Philadelphia Flyers, who went on to win the Stanley Cup that season.^[3]

Offseason

On July 27, 1973, E. Michael Burke handed in his resignation to the New York Yankees, so that he could become president of Madison Square Garden.^[4] This would make Burke the president of the New York Rangers hockey club and the New York Knicks basketball club.^[5]
