The New York Rangers decided to arrive in New York style at MetLife Stadium ahead of their Stadium Series game against the New York Islanders on Sunday afternoon. The Rangers arrived in East Rutherford, New Jersey, accompanied by members of the FDNY and NYPD while wearing jerseys for each first responders’ hockey clubs. Each player walking into the arena was next to either an NYPD officer or FDNY firefighter after traveling to the game on firetrucks and in police cars. Of course, this game counts like any other regular-season contest, but each team is trying to soak everything in during this once-in-a-lifetime experience. “But once you get on the ice, it’s all business, and it’s all just another game in the regular season.”The Rangers are no strangers to Stadium Series games, having played the Devils and Islanders at Yankee Stadium in 2014.
