The boo birds were out in Tennessee on Saturday.

When the New York Rangers rolled into town, so too did Jimmy Vesey, the onetime Nashville Predators draft pick and Hobey Baker winner who refused to sign with the club.

The Predators ultimately shipped Vesey to the Buffalo Sabres in a June deal, only for Vesey to later sign his entry-level deal with the Rangers.

That disloyalty received heavy scorn from the Nashville faithful, as heckles rained down at Bridgestone Arena.

As fate would have it, Saturday's game went to the shootout, with Vesey scoring one of the two goals in the extra round to seal the victory for the Blueshirts.
