Boomer Esiason was on his way home to Manhasset one evening when his daughter, Sydney, called. She announced that she had a new boyfriend, they were sitting in the kitchen waiting to meet him and he was a hockey player.
“I’m thinking maybe it’s Carl Hagelin or someone from the Rangers,” Esiason said last week. “And then she said he played for the Islanders, that his name was Matt Martin. She tried to spring it on me.”
Esiason, a die-hard Rangers fan, told her not to worry. But when he got home, he found a Rangers jersey in the garage.
