[Igor Shestyorkin]

Congrats Sam!

Looks like he's the one who just scored a Power Play Goal!

Congrats to Sam!!

Not looking forward to the day when someone else becomes the announcer. Games just won't sound the same.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Great for Sam. Undoubtedly a NY sports legend.

This, for me he only ones I don't "mind" lol are Sam and JD. It's just a massive flow of clichés. JD was probably the same but I was used to him...

Congrats to one of the best in the business. The only person on the planet who is able to make me stand, throw my arms up and cheer just by raising his voice.

You're saying I CAN'T do that? Have you not seen THIS FONT?

Started watching Sam when game intros looked like this:

Congrats to Sam..Class act.

Great MSG intro, bring back some good memories!

 

[Riche16]

It's a Power Play Goal!

Was about to post this.

Worked with him a few times... Class act all the way. Just as genuine off camera as on.

Congrats to a living legend. Well done Sam... Extremely well deserved.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Congrats to one of the best. Well earned and well deserved.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Well deserved. A friend of mine's family owned a restaurant he used to frequent - absolutely great guy. Always willing to chat sports with other patrons, never looked bothered.

 

[SavedByLundqvist]

My favorite of the current sports announcers. Love when I hear him do a football game too (although then I am sad that he doesn't have that weekend's Ranger game).

I do get a little excited when I see the bold, colorful fonts, not gunna lie.

Also, thanks for that video, bringing me back and making me feel old.

 

[orland]

Congrats to Sam - he's had a great career.

Truth be told though it would be nice for MSG to start transitioning in Kenny to work with Joe. Kenny and Joe are the 2nd team for the nationally televised games and do a great job. Kenny is the most likely replacement for the great Emerick when he retires so it would be fitting and deserving for Kenny to be on TV with Joe for at least some MSG games.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Very awesome. Sam deserves it

 

[alkurtz]

There always comes a day during the dog days of July and August when I absolutely crave hearing Sam's voice.

An absolute master at play-by-play with a perfect New York voice.

 

[Raspewtin]

Worthy in every way.

 

[mrhockey193195]

OOOOOH BABY! Sam and JD in the HHOF together. What an accomplishment. So deserving, so fitting. Congrats to Sam!

 

[Miamipuck]

And his hair.

Do you mean the dead animals sacrificed to make his hair?


Congrats Sam, He and JD were simply the best announcing team in sports for a good long time. For the longest the Rangers had amazing announcing. When I saw my first Rangers game it was Gordon and Chadwick, 2 of the most entertaining people I ever listened to and then eventually it went from Sam/Phil to Sam/JD. Rangers fans were truly lucky.

Throw in Sal "Red Light" Messina, Marv & Kenny Albert, Dave M. & Howie Rose on the radio. Rangers have had some amazing announcers over the years. No disrespect to Joe, but he doesn't quite match the highest of high standards, in my opinion.

Man, and I thought I was a "veteran" for growing up with these intros!

 

[mrhockey193195]

Not to get too off-topic, but anyone else miss Rangers Gamenight? The intro music, Al's voice...nothing got me more pumped up 30 minutes before gametime!!!

 

[wolfgaze]

"This one will last a lifetime!"



Couldn't have happened to a better guy....

Congrats Sam on a well-deserved honor....

 

[JHS]

Really happy for Sam! He's the voice of my entire time watching the Rangers. Hearing his voice is like hearing an old friend at this point. He's so incredible at his job and has kept countless Ranger fans company for so many years!

 

[broadwayblue]

Should have been Trautwig, imo.

He's on the short list for sports archaeologist HOF.
