So the Rangers practiced at the rink I skate at here in LA yesterday.  Completely open to the public....and barely anyone there.  The players were just walking around among everyone it was pretty awesome.  Not to mention all the gear that was just lying around - so cool.  As Zuccs was walking out to the ice i noticed he was back in X60s and I said, "Hey Zuccs, back in the X60s? Didn't like the NXGs?"...and he looked at me very caught off guard and just goes, "Huh?" Ha

 

Players were great - taking pics - signing autographs - got Cally to sign my WC jersey my wife got me for xmas last year and Hank signed my 9 month old babys toddler jersey - really cool experience!

 

Anyhow, here are some pics and vids I took while there.  Enjoy
