Immanuel Quickley was a guest in his own home while attending the New York Rangers Game 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
The New York Knicks guard, along with numerous other professional athletes and coaches from around the Big Apple, came out to support the Rangers in their first postseason series since 2017. Quickley sported a Rangers sweater and was ignited by a defeaning crowd after defenseman Artemi Panarin scored to clench the series (4-3) in overtime.
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson and wide receiver Braxton Berrios were part of the electric crowd post-win, when Wilson gave out celebratory high-fives to anyone he could reach.
The New York Mets had a suite at the arena, where players quenched their thirst in unison on the jumbotron, except for outfielder Brandon Nimmo, who opted for a simpler smile and wave.
