NY Rangers Game 82: 40 Years of Sam Rosen

Tonight should have been focused on saying farewell to Sam Rosen, and I will attempt to do that now. We’ve said our piece about the other news today.

After 40 years, tonight will be Sam’s final game. It is much watch television for every person who has ever called the Rangers their favorite team. It is also a must watch for many hockey fans in general, to see Sam off. He has been nothing short of pure class, rolling with the punches, with the bad teams, the lost seasons, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the even worse.

As far as I’m concerned, Sam is the voice of the first half of my life. He started the year I was born. He’s been one of the few constants in my life. Sam will be missed. Thank you for all the memories.
