Blues 5, Rangers 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve always enjoyed watching Hockey at MSG knowing that a day ago it was a basketball court. It’s always amazing to me that they manage to switch over the entire arena in such a short amount of time. (https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/video\/quick-change-artists-transform-the-garden\/86D21535-0721-4EB7-AB8F-DB3F9371921E<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this game I scored some nice seats through my Chase visa card – they were in the upper area but they had a TV at my seat so I could watch the highlights and replays but then I noticed that I could change the channel and also get.. Monday Night Football?! What a great sports night! MSG is always a fun place to visit. Super easy to get to as it’s right off Penn Station and lots of food choices and upscale drink options (Why yes, I’d love a whiskey and soda to go with my Paulie G’s slice and hot honey chicken sando.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The game started out great with an early Rangers score. This is only the second time I’ve ever seen a Rangers game and my favorite part each time is the crowd singing after each goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n However it quickly fell apart as the Blues kept up the attack – it was relentless and the Rangers just didn’t seem to have an answer for it. When they went up 5-2 I checked the train schedule and saw a train leaving in 15 minutes and made the executive decision to speedwalk out of the stadium back into the train station just making the train – walking on right before the doors closed. The only clutch performance in NY that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll be honest – I’m not a hockey guy so I wasn’t expecting much from these games but I found I really enjoyed being there as the energy was electric and hockey fans are just.. Salt of the earth. Sometimes they are more entertaining than the game. The time flew by and I found myself invested in the game and cheering at certain points when the home team did something awesome. Not much of that here tonight unfortunately but I can respect the hockey arena experience more now for certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
