After 40 years as the voice of the New York Rangers, Sam Rosen is saying goodbye at the end of this season; tonight, as the regular season comes to a close, a very special reunion is set to take place.

Rosen, who began his tenure with the Rangers in 1984, spent 20 years calling games alongside John Davidson. Davidson, who is now a senior advisor with the Columbus Blue Jackets, will return to the Rangers’ broadcast booth for one final game alongside Rosen tonight.

Rosen and Davidson were broadcasting partners from 1986 to 2006; in 1994, they were on the call when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup, leading to Rosen’s iconic “This one will last a lifetime!”

  • Date and time: April 9, 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: Madison Square Garden (New York, N.Y.)
  • Channel: TNT, truTV
  • Streaming: DIRECTV Stream, Max

Rosen’s impending retirement has prompted tributes across the league, including former Ranger (and current Minnesota Wild) Mats Zuccarello taking to the MSG ice in a custom Rosen #40 jersey for warm-ups earlier this month.

The Rangers vs. Flyers game tonight, April 9, begins at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Tonight’s Rangers vs. Flyers game is airing nationwide on both TNT and truTV, so if you don’t have cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to tune in.

Two that we recommend are DIRECTV Stream (five days free) and Hulu + Live TV (three days free), both of which include TNT and truTV.

Though not free, you can save 50% on your first month of Sling TV Orange, which includes TNT and will cost just $23 for the first month. Max Standard ($16.99/month) will also carry tonight’s game.

As noted above, the voice of the New York Rangers, Sam Rosen, will be on play-by-play duties in tonight’s nationally televised game, while longtime broadcast partner John Davidson provides color commentary.

Chris Chelios, Rangers hall-of-famer Henrik Lundqvist, Anson Carter, and Liam McHugh will present a pregame show beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
