New York Rangers’ Best Games to Watch in our Recent History

Brandon Cohen- 1/5/11- Zuccarello’s First NHL Goal-

Before I get into my favorite game, let me give a pitch for why someone should buy me season tickets.

In the first game I attended at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers won 8-2. Overall, the Rangers are 13-4-2 in games I’ve attended at Madison Square Garden. I would like seats in the 200s, please.

As for my favorite game, it has to be the second game I attended at the Garden. I went in expecting the Rangers to score eight goals again (I’m greedy and demanding!) but came out with a new found admiration for a diminutive forward who no one was familiar with.

Mats Zuccarello.

Zuccarello scored an overtime winner against the Carolina Hurricanes after Brandon Dubinsky brought the puck from his own end all the way into the Hurricanes’ end. The crowd went wild when Zuccarello scored, and it was my first overtime experience at the Garden. What an electric atmosphere.
