Sam Rosen To Retire After Next Season

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Legend. Listening to Sam is a delight, even if you don't know anything else. And then you listen to some other broadcasts, and makes you appreciate him even more.

He does deserve to go out with a Cup but I think the Rangers will be in punt mode to some degree. I don’t see them emptying the cupboard when they see a mini retool on the horizon.

This hits in the feels. He’s been the Rangers voice since I’ve been watching, which was in 1994 at age 11. All I’ve ever known. Gary Thorne’s calls got me hooked but Rosen for the Rangers broadcasts were A+ throughout the early 2000s when I got sucked back in as a college student when Lundqvist arrived after the dark ages.

Rangers hockey won’t be the same without Sam. He MAKES the broadcast to a degree. His voice, inflection and excitement make watching so much better.

I like Kenny Albert and he would be better than lots of choices for sure. But part of me wants them to come up with another icon, quick. Kenny is great as a jack of all trades announcer but another legend would be better. An up and comer.

Much love to Sam for a great run. Have had the opportunity to meet him several times and he’s always been very fan friendly. Nice man. Great run.

While Kenny Albert is the logical replacement choice. I’d love to see Howie Rose get a kick at the can for a few years. He’s a great hockey announcer and despite his work on the other side of town, he’s always been a great Ranger fan.

Howie would be a great fill in when Kenny is calling 500 other things during the season.

Kenny's the primary choice but I wonder if he defers due to his other national broadcast duties. Give Alex Faust an offer before Boston takes him to replace Jack Edwards?

Yeah, that's true and why I slipped in the "decline". He's got a full slate for sure. He once did 4 different sports in 4 days. He's just getting back from Paris calling the water polo matches.
