Confirmed with Link: RIP Al Trautwig

[Fitzy]

A very sad day for Ranger fans. Especially those of us that have been watching since the 90's. 68 is way too young.

Rest well Al.

 

[DialUp]

He was part of my childhood.

68 is what stood out to me. The thing about Al though is he probably had 120 years of memories and experiences in those 68 years.

I think he was 68 at the time of that article from 2019 so he was probably 73 or 74, still yount nowadays.

If you grew up in the 90s, there no way this doesn't get you amped up. That music, Al's voice-over... perfection.



Al was a legend. He was campy, he was quirky, but he was one of the best in the business. Very, very sad news.

 

[eco's bones]

RIP.

 

[Jim Ramsay]

Between this, Sam retiring, and how trash the Rangers are this year...this will be one of the more memorable seasons for all the wrong reasons

 

[bernmeister]

you guys are getting to be too fast for the old man

I didn't see this, apologies if this link was already posted:

MSN

 

[Rempe73]

This one hurts a lot. Al was underrated. Rest in peace to a legend

 

[chaz4hockey]

Going back to the 1960's, there hasn't been another NHL organization with a better set of announcing crews than the Rangers (I think the Canadian National Announcers/commentators since the 60's have been terrific too).

Al certainly was certainly a top shelf guy.

RIP

Thanks for posting. Hearing that music gets me amped, no doubt.

Tons of memories with Al. RIP

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Grew up with Sam, JD and Al and that sports desk guy Bill something. We will miss you Al wish you were treated more respectfully

Probably Bill Daughtery.

Bob Page was the best on Sportsdesk and would tell it like it is. Then MSG sanitized itself with simple propaganda.

 

[ArPanet]

Sure hope he is enshrined in the Garden Hall of Fame.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Damn. RIP Al wish he couldve gotten the send off he deserved. One of the best.

 

[will1066]

I watched a game from 2001 a few years ago, and a young Al Trautwig and an old Stan Fischler. Man, that brings back memories. RIP Al!

Sneaky humor haha

Most ranger fans if they follow football are also giants fans so there’s that too .
