I bet half the people here don't even remember the early Sam.

Probably but I won't hold their age against them if they don't hold mine against me lol

Based on what I've been able to track down, Rangers are 4-7-4 ahead of tomorrow's ceremony game.

If anyone can think of other one-off pre-game ceremonies in Ranger history, let me know.

Sam's 30th anniversary was on January 31, 2014. They beat the Islanders 4-1. I believe there was an on-ice ceremony for him.

I can’t remember why Park never had his jersey retired. Anyone remember? Just bad blood between him and organization?

 

[Islander Class]

Congratulations to a New York sports legend. All the best in retirement.

 

[Mike in Houston]

I wonder who will emcee the ceremony. That's usually Sam's job.

Could be Sam's replacement.
Could be John Giannone.
Could be Joe Tolleson.

There are a few decent choices.

JD?

Sam will always be the voice of the Rangers for me. Michelletti will always be the Sammy Hagar of this Van Halen.

Got to be Joe right?

 

[Mike in Houston]

Got to be Joe right?

It was. And it was a very short ceremony.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

It was. And it was a very short ceremony.

Either Sam Rosen asked for it not to be a huge thing or MSG botched it. Or... two things can be true.

I really would have liked to know who Sam's successor is going to be.
