Isn’t the normal NYC alignment

Giants/Yankees/Rangers

Jets/Mets/Islanders

Yeah, Yankees/Giants and Mets/Jets are pairings bc each duo used to share a stadium before the Giants and Jets moved to Jersey. Hockey is a little different bc the Islanders are really Long Islands team, so most NYC natives are Rangers fans if they care about hockey. There are also the Devils in Jersey, which leans Yankees. There’s a some correlation where Islanders fans are more likely to be Mets/Jets bc those teams played at Shea in queens which is very easy to reach from LI, while getting to Yankee Stadium from LI is a bigger pain

Everybody roots for the Knicks though, which is why the city exploded so much more for their run than any other teams
