Asked Gabe Perreault after the 4-0 #NYR win over the #Flames if him and Lafreniere speak English or French? “A little bit of both.” When Mika’s out there? “We try to speak English in a big group. But one on one, we’ll speak French!” Here’s Gabe on that, finding his game plus some, and the team adapting to changing personnel. ⬇️ @wfuvsports

Even in a nothing season, this is one of the coolest possible games and wins for #NYR.

My final thoughts on the 6-1 #NYR win over the #Blackhawks! So many firsts! Drew Fortescue’s NHL debut, Fortescue’s 1st point/assist, Garand’s 1st NHL win, Chmelar’s 1st NHL assist, Sykora’s 1st game at MSG, and Sykora’s 1st NHL goal! Broke it down here for @wfuvsports. ⬇️

Asked Mike Sullivan about Sykora being right in the thick of things for #NYR. “He’s a dog on the bone on the puck. Doesn’t matter what the score is, he’s going to give you 110%… His personality is infectious. You could see the reaction of his teammates when he scored the goal. I think that speaks volumes of what they think of him as a person.” Tonight against the #Blackhawks, every time I looked up, him, Cuylle, and whomever they could find were in a scrum.😂 🎥: @nyrangers 🎤: @wfuvsports

I owe them my life

Was my first time talking to Jonny (Brodzinski) tonight, and can confirm, the absolute nicest guy. And thank goodness sending instagram reels is timeless. Good for the #NYR team vibes.

Talked to #NYR forward, Jonny Brodzinski, following the 6-1 win over the #Blackhawks, and he articulated about each and every young guy. On Garand: “He’s one of the hardest working goalies that I’ve ever had a pleasure of playing with.” On Sykora: “Everyday is a good day for him. I don’t know if the camera pans to him when we score, but he’s up and down the bench, firing everybody up.” On Fortescue: “Just a really good solid game for his 1st game, it’s awesome to see. On Chmelar, who was sitting right next to him and giggling: “Just give this guy the puck and let him go to work.” And lastly, asked Garand about Brodzinski’s comment about him, and he mentioned that those two send reels still.😂 @wfuvsports

1st Game for Fortescue, 1st NHL point for him, 1st NHL win for Garand, 1st NHL goal for Sykora, and 1st game at MSG for him, too. Did I miss any first for #NYR?
