'It was great to share that moment with them,' Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow said of his team's special guests.
Rangers players walked into MetLife Stadium decked out in police- and fire-department-inspired sweaters, too -- one set blue, the other red -- alongside actual members of those departments."I thought it came together great," he said."It was great meeting those . Obviously, we all know what they do for our community. It was great to share that moment with them."But the Islanders did not embrace this opportunity to up their fashion game.
"I want to say thank you to the policemen and the fire department for supporting us in this event," Islanders coach Patrick Roy said."I think the players are very thrilled about this." Not only is Sunday's tilt the first meeting of the season between the New York rivals, it's Roy's first time coaching his new squad against the Rangers since he took over behind the bench Jan. 20.
"The first one is a pretty impressive one, isn't it? Playing in front of 70,000 people?" Roy said of the circumstance.
