The Showdown at Madison Square Garden
On December 2, 2022, a memorable event occurred during a hockey match between the New York Rangers and the Ottawa Senators. This intense game marked the continuation of a home-and-home series between these two teams.
Madison Square Garden, one of the globe's most iconic venues, witnessed Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and Rangers captain Jacob Trouba squaring off at center ice.
Tkachuk's Comparison to McGregor
Sharing his exhilarating experience on 'Dropping the Gloves,' Tkachuk reflected on the moment:
"I'm not gonna lie to you, I felt like McGregor. I felt like, it was a pretty unbelievable feeling, I'm not going to lie to you. Center stage of MSG, that was something I'll never forget.
I don't know, it was at the end of my shift and I was skating to get off the ice and you know, he asked me 'can you give me one?'. I was like 'alright, sure'. If we're doing this, immediate center ice and I was thinking, 'this is pretty cool.'"
