Love how he calls a game pretty even. Most annoucers are biased to their team but Sam makes great calls even for opposing players. Definitely one of the best.

The best play by play NHL commentator, BAR NONE!!

When I started following the Rangers, It was Jim Gordon and Phil Esposito calling the games and Sam Rosen was on MSG sports desk. Sam stepped in and took it over like a Pro. My earliest fondest Memories of Sam calling games was during the 1986 playoff run with Esposito. JD stepped in smoothly and was brilliant. It took a while for me to warm up to Joe because he was a former Islander broadcaster, but he has my respect. Thank you Sam Rosen for the many great calls and hope you remain with us Rangers for many more years 👍

Great job Sam! Great to see my goaltending idol as a kid--JD. I laugh now because when I watch videos of him in net--I'm thinking "Holy crap he's terrible! All that wasted movement." No wonder I also sucked playing goal. Oh well, great moment at MSG. Gave me chills.
