With large flocks of Rangers and Islanders fans filling the seats, the early reviews are in with the NHL management are smiling from ear to ear.
With the rich hockey culture in the New York City area and fans enjoying the festivities, NHL reporters including Vince Mercogliano of USA TODAY asked Rangers superstar
