No matter which way this first round series between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers ends, Eli Manning will come out on top victorious.
On Thursday, the Devils hosted the Rangers for Game 2 of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs’ first round and the Manning family was in the building for the fun. Since his retirement from quarterbacking the New York Giants, Manning has publicly thrown his support behind many a team from the New York/New Jersey area.
And now, Manning has made his stance known on the Hudson River Rivalry and it’s pretty unique, to say the least. While being interviewed by Jackie Redmond of NHL Network, Manning admitted he flip flops between rooting for the Devils and Rangers depending on where the team is playing and where his family is watching the games from!

Even worse, if you’re a Rangers and a Giants fan, Manning committed the ultimate cardinal sin of chanting “Let’s go Devils” ahead of his first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff game.

The good news? Give it a few days and Manning will be bleeding blue once more!
