Sod16 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 All of the TV play by play guys I watched starting in 1968, Winn Elliot, Bob Wolff, Tim Ryan, Sal Marciano (the worst) and Jim Gordon were lame. Sam represented an improvement. He's an old shoe, shabby but too comfortable to discard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I grew up with Jim Gordon and Bill Chadwick since 1971-72. We all did bud. I can still hear the ?psssst? when Bill popped open another can of beer. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I?m of the notion that Sam can come or go as he chooses. He?s earned that in my eyes. Next? Ken and Dave would be fantastic IMO. Wanna? do something positive and noticeable for the broadcast team? Let?s each send Trautwig $5 each so he can buy some new teeth. For some reason, that bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progrocker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Sam's like a great old pair of shoes, they're falling apart but they're the most comfortable. :slats: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Wash your mouth. It's a POWER PLAY goal! A foreigner whose name I cannot pronounce but I'll take a swing at anyway takes a shot! A guy I have mixed up with someone else is on the puck! Although I can't see the puck, WHERE IS IT! Gotta love the old bastard.

Or the delayed goal call... you know john, we're been having all sorts of crazy weather here and someone was telling me...he crosses the blue line, he shoots... 3 seconds of dead air... Is it in? I think it's in the net! Like damn dude... So are you, but you're a legend and you can still until you're ready to go. ;) haha :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 We all did bud. I can still hear the ‘psssst’ when Bill popped open another can of beer. LOL. Is that what THAT was??? I thought he let one go in the booth!!! :rofl: Those in between period interviews were hilarious sometimes. I still remember the one with Sheldon Kannegeiser where he was so bombed he fucked up his name 3 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Lothbrok Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm willing to overlook Sam's occasional (though admittedly ever more frequent) flubs in exchange for the enthusiasm he brings and the nostalgic "happy place" vibe that Dunny referenced that Sam engenders. His voice is made for broadcasting. Still get chills when he yells "he scores!" or "Rangers win!" Hell, he could call every single name and play wrong the entire game and I wouldn't give a shit because I have two eyes perfectly capable of telling me what actually happened. I'm willing to make the tradeoff for the great voice and the homerism. I've met Giannone several times. He's like the nicest dude on Earth, and I wish him all the best. My understanding from talking to him is that the job is his to lose. That said, I think it would be a colossal mistake. He just doesn't have the voice for it. It's all about the voice when it comes to broadcasting for me. I would absolutely take Kenny Albert and Dave Maloney for that exact reason. Don't ever leave Sam. Don't ever leave. Don't stick us with Jay-G, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Giannone did the radio broadcast yesterday and wasn't bad at all. First time I've heard him do that. I think he's more suited for that actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's more suited for that actually. I agree with this. I think I?ve heard him make the radio call before, many years ago and thought he was pretty good. That job between the benches is a sweetheart plum job - boy that would be fun! Right on top of the action and hearing all of that chatter? Priceless!!

Ozzy Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I wonder if after Sam does relinquish his staranglehold on the booth, would they entertain someone from outside the "box" so to speak. I mean like a total outside name form either another team or even another sport. I think, and I'm not positive but Sam used to work for a news channel first...either WPIX or WINS...I'm not 100% on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Giannone is too monotone, too proper. Not at all exciting. Sam is still exciting and sometimes sounds like an overexcited 10 year old. (who's lifetime? yours, Sam or whoever was born in 1994?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Somehow I think Espo is still doing TB games. I don't carry the sentimental value that Sam brings, I think the speed of the game has passed him by and I find myself addicted to pointing out his gaffes. Hoping he moves along soon but I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he moves along soon but I highly doubt it. I hear ya JS. It's just becoming more and more evident every game now. That's kinda the reason for the thread. Sam during his hey day was simply great....and yes he's a legendary Rangers Broadcaster in every sense of the word. But nowadays I feel he's the 20,000 pound elephant in the room. I think the crew is right; I suppose it's his job to lose at this point, and I can only guess they have no one else in mind to take his place at this point.

paddynyc Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 After JD left was there any reason why Joe Micheletti got the TV job over Dave Maloney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 ... I've heard John Gianone, and I think he's pretty capable. His goal calls are pretty decent and he's only about a half second behind the play call...which is leaps better than what we're getting now. I don't mind Micheletti, and I think he's actually holding the broadcast together right now. Who knows, maybe even another announcer...but I think they gotta do something up there! What do you think, fellas? Giannone sucks. Please no not him. ... I've met Giannone several times. He's like the nicest dude on Earth, and I wish him all the best.

Ozzy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I will say one thing for certain.... After watching the Vic Hadfield ceremony last night, I have to say that Sam Rosen is one of the best Master of Ceremonies I've heard. He has a great touch with on the mic, and his voice inflection is genuine. Even though I'm sure all the info is written down, he has a delivery that is second to none. I really liked the event last night and it was great to see all those guys I grew up watching as a little kid. Good Christ! Teddy Irvine, Jimmy "The Chief" Neilsen and even Billy Fairbairn!!! I almost peed myself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
