Ah, the New York Rangers. The Blueshirts. A team with a rich history, a passionate fanbase, and enough grit to make you think they practice with sandpaper instead of pucks. But let's face it, braving the elements to snag a seat at Madison Square Garden isn't always an option. Fear not, fellow Rangers fan! Here's your survival guide to catching all the action from the comfort of your couch (or, you know, that comfy barstool).

NHL.tv (Now Called ESPN+): This is the official streaming service of the NHL. However, there's a catch (there always is, right?) Blackout restrictions might prevent you from watching Rangers games in your area. But fear not! ESPN+ offers out-of-market coverage for select games, so you might still catch some action.
Local Sports Bars (The Social Option): Sometimes, you just gotta experience the energy of the crowd. Head to your favorite sports bar, grab some wings and a beer, and cheer alongside your fellow Rangers fanatics. Bonus points for wearing your lucky jersey.
