SAM ROSEN: “The Waiting Is Over”

Send us Fan Mail There’s a great line in the wonderful old film The Front; “it’s nice when nice happens to somebody nice.” That’s been the story around the National Hockey League this season, as Sam Rosen bids farewell after some 40 seasons as the television play by play voice of the New York Rangers.  He’s been saluted with standing ovations in arenas around the league.  Sam is understandably most beloved in New York, not only for the four words “the waiting is over” that signaled the end of a Rangers 54 year Stanley Cup curse in 1994, but for the thousands of games when his voice was a part of our lives, a part of our homes.
