Sam Rosen's longtime career as the voice of the Rangers has been celebrated this year as he prepares for his final game at the end of this season. While it seemed difficult to imagine a new voice for the Rangers on TV, Kenny Albert will certainly be able to fill Sam's shoes as his voice is already familiar with so many fans and currently does NHL games on national TV. Joe Michelletti will remain on the broadcast and Alex Faust has been named Albert's replacement for games he is unavailable.
