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 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    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.

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

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.

Probably not the time or place for that.

I think it'll be one of two choices.

Kenny Albert provided he steps away from doing Knicks as one of Breen's back ups. No more of that. Alex Faust is the other choice. Kenny's main backup on radio. He surpassed La Greca on the depth chart this season and does TV too nationally. Former Kings TV announcer after Bob Miller.

I'm a big supporter of Alex Faust for the job. We need youth.

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

Now is the time for Rangers to right their Brad Park wrong​

The Rangers this week unfurled their centennial logo that will be featured during the franchise’s 2025-26 100th anniversary season, but the only banner at the Garden I’m interested in seeing would be Brad Park’s No. 2 hanging from the famous pinwheel ceiling.

If there is ever a time to right the injustice that has perpetrated for decades, it is now. If there is ever a time to honor the second greatest defenseman in franchise history, it is now.

Park, who will turn 77 in July, has earned it. So has the generation of fans that grew up on Emile Francis’ beloved teams that, truth be told, kind of set the template for the half-century that has followed that group.

I don’t care if he played 36 games more wearing the hated spoked-B than he did wearing the Blueshirt, I don’t care if he played fewer than 500 games as a Ranger, neither does anyone who appreciates the tortured history of this Original Six franchise and neither does anyone else who sat the in the blue seats those days that both seem so long ago and like yesterday. We’re dwindling, if you haven’t noticed.

There were five pillars of that era and four of them have appropriately been honored. But if the Rangers are going to celebrate 100 years of history, if there is truly an intention to reward the paying customers who have bled blue, white and red through decades upon decades — and that, in addition to marketing revenue, is what this celebration is about — then Park’s No. 2 finally needs to accompany Ed Giacomin’s No. 1, Rod Gilbert’s No. 7, Vic Hadfield’s No. 11 and Jean Ratelle’s No. 19 at the top of the building.

Almost 100 years and coming up on 50 years since Park left the building, it is the right thing to do. No. 2 has earned it. Rangers fans deserve it. It is no more complicated than that.
