A New York Rangers player wiped out during introductions and NHL fans had jokes
The New York Rangers kicked off their 2019-20 season at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night and it didn’t take long for things to go a little poorly for them.

And he went flying.
I’m not sure who was supposed to be in charge of that mic cord, but they probably wished they would have moved it out of the way.
Because this isn’t a great look:
NHL fans had jokes:
This probably isn’t how @NYRangers Lias Andersson imagined starting this season
