    Hi all- As I said last night on @MSGNetworks, the support since my prostate cancer diagnosis has been overwhelming and SO impactful. And that goes tenfold for what I’ve seen here today. THANK YOU 🙏 for all the well wishes. I have read them all. And I will cherish them all. ♥️💪🏻

    Mats Zuccarello personifies what is so special about his sport. Tough & resilient, fun & personable. We shared a passion for English Premier League soccer (me Tottenham, him Man U). We traded barbs & a few bets. Today, we shared a hug & mutual thanks. Good person. Good luck.

    It has been the highest honor to work with Sam & Joe the last two decades…and share in Sam’s special day & extraordinary career. In a business of runaway egos, Sam ALWAYS leads with kindness and goodness. A Hall of Fame broadcaster, an even better person. In every way, a legend.

    (2/2) For nearly three decades, Al was THE narrator of New York’s most fervent passions. His words were sublime; his voice distinct; his presence undeniable. His seat, and his shoes, are impossible to fill. His passing is impossibly sad. Rest easy, Al. Forever the gold standard.

    Simply put, #7 is one of the great ambassadors our city & our sport will ever know. An omnipresent smile-with a kind word for everyone at every turn-Rod Gilbert loved the Rangers & New York as much as we loved him. Please honor Rod by emulating his goodness. Rest easy, my friend.

    Amid anguish of unrealized dreams, I want to thank every member of #NYR Nation for bringing passion to the discourse & sharing your time & attention with us on @MSGNetworks. It sounds trite but this pic perfectly summarizes my work life. Enjoy the summer ☀️ See you in September🫡

    A broadcast partner, travel partner, Metro North partner, golf partner, poker partner…and total model citizen. From every game on the air to every day off the air, I’ll forever be indebted to Joe Micheletti for his fabulous friendship over two decades. Happy trails, Joe Mick⛳️🌴

    So many superlatives will be spoken & written about @HLundqvist30 today, so I will only add these: Thank you for 15 years of being an elite-class goaltender & first-class person. In three decades in my business, I‘ve rarely encountered a more cooperative, respectful athlete. -30-

    My heart is heavy & a more than a bit broken. The Curatolo family & #NYR family lost a superb young man & Super-fan. I spoke of Stephen (@stephennyr89) more than once, praised his strength, prayed for a better fate. Stephen passed away today at age 30. Please pray for his family.

    What a labor of love this season has been. From a first-place team to our first-class crew, we hope you enjoyed #NYR hockey as much as we enjoyed sharing the ride. For Rangers fans, here’s hoping the best is yet to come. Remember: @MSGNetworks has complete coverage of Round One!

    A colleague. A teammate. A friend. A legend. We first met when I was a student at Fordham 40 years ago, and it has been a singular thrill to share the last two decades of my professional journey with Sam Rosen. I can’t wait to join the sports world in saluting him this season.

    ICON: “A person widely admired for having great influence or significance in a particular sphere.” The words personify Al Trautwig in our sphere. From day one together at MSG in 2002, as a co-host, a colleague, a teammate & a mentor, Al set the bar for brilliance on air. (1/2)

    Skipping tonight's #NYR game but for most special reason: Graduation Day for my son Justin from Army Infantry boot camp at Ft Benning, GA 🇺🇸

    Sincerest good wishes and happy retirement to Rick Nash, a terrific hockey player and a thousand-times better person. Always amenable, always honest, always respectful for nearly six seasons with #NYR. In short, a truly good man who deserves true health and happiness.
