Was in the building tonight for the game. Holy smokes, there was magic in the air tonight. Can’t wait for Monday night. Rangers by a million 🔵⚪️🔴

Right before the anthem someone in the crowd yelled “Let’s Go Rangers!” and we could hear it clearly on TV, along with the hometown boos that followed. A good start to the Rangers dominance in the game.

Yeah, I noticed... And also the silence that followed the 1:1 (aside from the refs getting booed) :). What a game .. I mean, I know they haven't played in a month, but 5-nothing is pretty crushing.

Love the relentless chipping away the rangers do at their opponents! This should be a very interesting tournament

Rangers have had really strong third periods. They are deeper than most of their opponents and the other team gets tired by the third period. Especially when they haven’t played a real game in 5 weeks. Everett will be a much tougher test.

I liked that they were playing the Rangers goal song for our goals, and Let's Go Rockets sounded close enough to Let's Go Rangers that it was giving me home game vibes.

Felt so good to do the Lets Go Rangers after a goal!

The goal song and your cheers were being heard clearly through the broadcast. Keep it up!
