Rangers 4 – Devils 3

With more than half the team comprised of rookies in the NHL, the Rangers went on to a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils in pre-season hockey action last night.

I was there. I’m amped about the new NYR team. It was definitely odd to be going around the city in 85 degree heat, only to end up at a hockey rink by the end of the night! Very cooling!
