Last night I went to the Rangers opening playoff game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and let me tell you, the atmosphere in the Garden was electric.
While the level of stress and tension in the building came nowhere close to the Game 7 I attended last year against the Flyers, scoring just 28 seconds into the game gave the building life, that was built up before the game and never deflated.
I was very grateful for the opportunity to go last night, and enjoyed every minute of it!
One other difference from last year…I saw a lot less Pittsburgh fans then Flyers fans last year…or maybe they just aren’t as loud as those Broad Street Bullies.
