Few rooms in sports are louder than the Garden when the Rangers score, and this Sunday evening game against Vancouver comes in the first weeks of the new season, when optimism is at its peak and the building is still buzzing from opening night. It is an early puck drop on a long weekend, with the holiday Monday to recover. If you have never heard a full MSG chant, start here.
What to expect
Expect a regular-season NHL game with the Garden's full production, including the organ, the goal horn and the video board over center ice, and a crowd in Rangers blue. Plan for about two and a half hours, and arrive early enough to watch warmups from the glass if you have lower-bowl seats.
Good to know
- MSG is above Penn Station, served by the 1, 2, 3, A, C and E trains.

- Download your mobile ticket before you arrive.
