Rangers honor Rosen in final game

The Rangers and MSG Networks turned the team’s season finale yesterday “into an extended tribute” to retiring play-by-play announcer Sam Rosen. During warmups, Rangers players “wore Rosen’s name and No. 40 jerseys -- to mark his years in the booth -- as well as a patch commemorating his signature call: ‘It’s a power-play goal!’” MSG showed Rosen and commentator Joe Micheletti “at work in the booth with an inset alongside the game action.” Rosen was “honored on the video board midway through the third period and blew kisses to the crowd as a ‘Sam Rosen’ chant arose.” Players on both teams “tapped their sticks in tribute” (NEWSDAY, 4/18).
