Sam Rosen, the voice of the New York Rangers for 40 years, is nearing retirement. He began his career in 1977 and took over broadcasting for the Rangers in 1984. As the team struggles to secure a playoff spot while undergoing a retool, Rosen expresses his hope for a memorable send-off with a playoff run. Despite the pressures and challenges of the season, he remains optimistic, encouraging the team in their pursuit of success. The Rangers must overcome recent losses to maintain playoff contention, making Rosen's farewell even more poignant.
Rosen's career includes a Stanley Cup Final Game 7, a Foster Hewitt Memorial Award and an induction into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
In his final season behind the microphone, the Rangers have been tumultuous at best they started the season 124, then went 415 in the wake of general manager Chris Drury's on-the-fly retool.
I’m trying to drag this team into the playoffs with me, said Rosen. I walk around the locker room at practice giving them encouragement, 'Come on, guys, you can do it.' They're not listening to me.
A playoff run would be the ultimate send-off for Rosen. But like their Western Conference opponent on Saturday, everyone is trying to squeeze in.
