Sam Rosen’s ‘iconic’ legacy being felt across NHL during Rangers voice’s farewell tour in 40th season
NY Post
The National Hockey League has begun to say its goodbyes to Sam Rosen.
Proclaiming this season as his last may have been to ensure the 77-year-old Rangers broadcaster enjoyed a farewell tour, but it has morphed into a dual-purpose sendoff. This has become an opportunity for everybody around the league — players, staff, management and fans alike — to shower a beloved figure in hockey with the same love and sincerity Rosen has injected into the sport for 40 years.
The Devils training staff gifted him an engraved bottle of wine.
Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman came to the visiting booth when the Rangers were in Detroit, as did Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan when they were in Toronto.
Flyers president Keith Jones presented Rosen with a commemorative brick from the old Spectrum.
