Tavares said he crosses paths with Rangers fans "every day. First, they tell me they're a Ranger fan, and I just say 'OK' usually. And, when they're kids, you always appreciate them just being hockey fans.

"Sometimes they apologize for being Ranger fans. And I say, 'You don't have to apologize to me. I just like beating you guys.' "
