Pavel Buchnevich had just scored the tying goal with 13 seconds remaining in the game between the New York Rangers and the Colorado Avalanche.
As it turns out, that goal might be the last one Rangers fans cheer about for a long time.
On Thursday afternoon, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced the league would be suspended due to the pandemic coronavirus. Hockey arenas through North America would go dark indefinitely.
For the fanatic Rangers hockey fan, these are uncharted waters. Thursday night was the first night without any hockey to be seen on television.
