Live from New York, it's playoff season.

"Saturday Night Live" actor Kenan Thompson cheered on the New York Rangers as they took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Tuesday.
"Live from Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City, it's New York Rangers hockey, baby," Thompson said in a video posted to social media.

Thompson wasn't the only electric fan at the Garden. The crowd was defeaning, cheering on the Rangers in the team's first home playoff game since May 9th, 2017.

Sounds like "The World's Most Famous Arena" is also the world's loudest arena.
