His stellar play and incredible demeanor made him a beloved figure in New York City, and he apparently used that reputation to mess with opposing players by denying them access to a famous nightclub called the China Club, located on the Upper East Side.
It was apparently the place to be in the 90's, musician performing to a crowd filled with famous actors, models, and athletes.
However, if you were a member of an opposing NHL team that was in town to face off against the Rangers, you would be out of luck to see the club, all thanks to Messier.
