Rangers fans boo Chris Drury during USA Olympic gold ceremony
NY Post
The Rangers’ Olympic gold medal winners were given a hero’s welcome on Thursday when they returned to Madison Square Garden.
Rangers general manager — and assistant GM for Team USA — Chris Drury was not, however.
During a pregame ceremony honoring the gold medalists before the Rangers’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers, Drury was given a noticeably different reception than J.T. Miller, Vincent Trocheck, Mike Sullivan and David Quinn received when his name was announced to the MSG crowd.
He was booed when his name was called and the Madison Square Garden public address announcer seemed quick to move on to the next name on the list, which was Quinn’s.
Rangers fans are likely unhappy with the way things have gone this season, as the Blueshirts enter a “retool” as the team goes through a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.
In an open letter to fans last month, Drury said that the organization was “just as frustrated” as fans were over the season that they wanted “nothing more than to deliver an on-ice product you can be proud of.”
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
Where were the grownups for Team USA?
The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Jasson Domínguez’s first-inning at-bat against Tanner Banks on Tuesday featured a different result and a different swing than “The Martian” had been accustomed to against lefty pitching.
Maxx Crosby isn’t looking in the rearview after a wild 24 hours.
Bam Adebayo occupies a new spot in the NBA history books.
Jets fans have been waiting for months to put the 2025 season in the past and start building a new roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — Leon Rose tried to address the bench in the summer. It didn’t work. He got a redo at the trade deadline with Jose Alvarado and Jeremy Sochan.
If Isaiah Likely was the most … er … likely former Raven to follow head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants, Patrick Ricard wasn’t far behind.
The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
