Josh Ho-Sang on his first trip to MSG: "I've never been to Madison Square Garden, I've heard about it in Jay-Z songs, so that's the closest I've been to here."
"I've never been to MSG. I've heard about it in Jay Z songs. It's exciting taking in all these teams that I get to play for the first time." pic.twitter.com/bnURbCXosc
Doug Weight on his first Islanders-Rangers game (back when he was a Ranger): "I remember I called my father the next day and he was like 'that was crazy.' I'm like 'you're telling me. I don't know man, this is a crazy league.' There was Tie Domi and Ken Baumgartner, guys screaming at me and I said, 'Dad, there were more fights in the stands than on the ice.'"
