Who comes after Sam Rosen?

[IamNotADancer]

Do we have definite candidates yet?

I hope we get to hear Sam for many more years but being in your mid 70s is usually a good indicator that time is not on your side.

Not sure but hope Joe goes with him whenever that time comes. Actually hope Joe goes period.

Kenny, please and thank you

 

[Daves a mess]

Howie Rose is still waiting for that job...

 

[Irishguy42]

I would love if they could find someone like the Isles have in Burke. He's great as a PxP

 

[Crease]

Ship has sailed on Howie Rose.

Kenny Albert is very talented, but—and this may be an unpopular opinion—his voice puts me to sleep.

 

[nyr2k2]

Every couple years this thread comes up and I always say Kenny Albert.

A lot of people wanted Howie Rose but it feels like with each passing year that doesn't happen, that it won't happen.

I feel like Kenny is ok, but I dunno, Sam has a classic voice. They need someone else like him. Voice and excitement level is more important than technical proficiency as evidenced by the fact that Sam said Zibanejad made a glove save the other night.

Howie has his own health issues and doesn't even call full Mets games anymore.

My ideal would be bring in some fresh voice for road trips, ease Sam out.

The NHL decides to fold after Sam Rosen retires, out of respect.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Yeah, Howie isn’t an option. He’s already on record saying he’s pretty much done calling the Mets at least in a full time capacity once his contract is up in a few years.

 

[Mike in Houston]

It'll be Kenny.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Isn’t kenny albert a national broadcaster? I don’t think he’ll be too enticed by being the primary Rangers broadcaster

 

[Cmox]

Me. I can stutter and mix up names at the drop of a toupee.

 

[huerter]

I'd be cised to give Steve Gelbs a little audition work. Just a peak.

Whatever happens, keep Donny La Grecs out of the conversation.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

John Giannone...

 

[Cmox]

Can Vally do it?

 

[gravey9]

This is a non-issue for the foreseeable future. MSG has to delay the picture so much for Sam now they've already recorded the next decade's worth of games and are just waiting for Sam to catch up.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Jerry Seinfeld and Joe Pesci

 

[RangersFan1994]

Mike Richter
Henrik Lundqvist


But seriously I bet it'll be Kenny Albert, John Giannone or Maloney

 

[egelband]

It’s a good question though. I guess they’ll have to start easing someone in soon.
Maybe an Adam Graves or Matt Barnaby type?

"Whats the deal with losing?"

"What are you a wise guy now?"

 

[RangerBlues]

Id like to see a former player. Does not need to be a former ranger.

 

[Kovalev27]

Kenny Albert or Brendan Burke. Burke is becoming very well respected msg will use the best guy for the Rangers

Kenny is TNT's #1 play by play guy but also the Rangers primary radio guy. When Sam retires Kenny will do both just like Doc did for all those years with FOX/ABC/NBC and the Devils.

Another example is Mike Breen. He does Knicks and ESPN.
