Madison Square Garden has delivered its own knockout.
The Rangers fan who was caught on tape leveling a Lightning fan with a cheap shot punch has received a lifetime ban from the arena. MSG also confirmed the fan — James Anastasio of Staten Island, according to reports — punched a second person in the aftermath of the Rangers’ Game 5 loss to the Bolts.
Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened.
