Aaron Rodgers Feted by Fans During Rangers’ Playoff Game at Madison Square Garden

The arrival of Aaron Rodgers is already paying dividends for New York and another one of its sports teams.

The arrival of Aaron Rodgers is already paying dividends to the city of New York. On Saturday night, the new face of the New York Jets franchise attended Game 6 of the New York Rangers first round playoff series with the New Jersey Devils.

The Rangers, who are facing elimination down 3–2 in the series, needed a spark after losing three consecutive games to their Metropolitan Division rival.

With two minutes to go in the second period and the Rangers holding a 2–1 lead, a video appeared on the Madison Square Garden jumbotron showing Rodgers in his seat, leading the Rangers faithful to erupt into a frenzy.

Just moments later, the Rangers increased their lead to 3–1 on a goal by forward by Vladmir Tarasenko.

Rodgers is attending the pivotal playoff game with teammates Allen Lazard and Breece Hall. However, while Lazard was donning a Artemi Panarin jersey and Hall was sporting Mika Zibanejad’s No. 93, Rodgers was seen only wearing just a plain black hoodie.

If the Rangers stave off elimination and go on to win the series, you can be sure Rangers fans will be imploring Rodgers to make a return appearance.
