Corey Hirsch and 24 penalty minutes

Emily Kaplan: The Penguins' roster is stacked with familiar names, including two current head coaches (Dave Tippett and Rick Tocchet) and a GM (Ron Francis), not to mention Jaromir Jagr, Mario Lemieux and 1990s ubervillain Ulf Samuelsson. Since the Rangers would win the Stanley Cup a year later, their roster features a bunch of fan favorites. But I was most amused seeing Joby Messier play with his second cousin Mark Messier on the Rangers. Joby was a former Michigan State defenseman, and his NHL career lasted just 25 games over Mark Messier three seasons (which also included four assists Corey Hirsch and 24 penalty minutes). According to The New York Times, the two Messiers weren't exactly close. "It will be a thrill to play on the same ice with Tag Messier," Joby Messier told the Times in 1992. "We don't really know each other all that well. I probably know a lot more about him than he knows about me." Greg Wyshynski: My favorite random Ranger is Corey Hirsch, playing one of his four career online games with the Blueshirts -- well, 40 moments of a game, at least. A "goalie of the future" who was stuck in back of Mike Richter and John Vanbiesbrouck on the depth chart, he would be shifted by the Rangers two years later on to the Canucks for Nathan LaFayette, and the Canucks for Nathan LaFayette he'd play 101 video games in four seasons.
