Twitter Reaction: NY's Heavy Hitters Rally Behind Rangers
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The New York Rangers are going to the Stanley Cup finals!
It was a celebration Thursday night on the ice for the Blueshirts, as Henrik Lundqvist & Co. shut out the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in Game 6 to capture the Eastern Conference championship.
For everyone else, including some of the biggest names in the Big Apple, the party raged on Twitter. Even former Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who signed with Oakland this offseason, was in a New York state of mind:
Congrats to the @NYRangers on huge win tonight advancing to the #StanleyCup Finals! You make all of #NYS proud #NYRPlayoffs #NYR #NHL
