On Thursday evening, October 3rd, 2019, at Madison Square Garden, the World’s Most Famous Arena, the puck will drop on the New York Rangers 2019-20 season. Henrik Lundqvist, along with the rest of his teammates, will be announced, en masse, to the waiting and adoring Garden crowd. This will be Lundqvist’s 15th consecutive home opener donning that beautiful blue sweater with the diagonal team name across the torso. I have been fortunate enough to be in attendance for all 15 of Lundqvist’s introductions and I have been to every Ranger home opening night since 1992 overall.
New and Improved
The Ranger hierarchy did a masterful job upgrading key pieces of the roster during, what will surely go down as one the best and most important off-seasons in team history.
