LAS VEGAS – Rangers coach Gerard Gallant is an old-school hockey guy. He doesn’t come off as the kind of person who gets overly emotional about things.
But he admitted Wednesday that returning to T-Mobile Arena, where the Rangers on Thursday will face his old team, the Vegas Golden Knights, is going to be … different.
"I think tomorrow night's going to be a little interesting,’’ Gallant said after the Rangers practiced in the Golden Knights’ practice rink. "Seeing that building, (hearing) the National Anthem… good memories, obviously, from that building.’’
Gallant said the Vegas fans "treated me A-1 here,’’ and he really enjoyed his two-and-a-half seasons coaching the Golden Knights.
