How Sam Rosen's Rah-Rah Can Help The Rangers Earn A Wild-Card Spot
Danny Wild-Imagn ImagesNever underestimate the powers of Sam Rosen. Ever!
His special powers enabled him to complete 40 years behind a microphone articulating Rangers words more accurately and emphatically than anyone.
Now's the time for Slingin' Sam to employ his unique powers on the Blueshirts, currently encamped in Los Angeles.
The New Yorkers' Great Playoff Crusade is egregiously lacking two things:
1. A Captain. The club lacks someone with a "C" who – General Patton-like – takes over the room and the team.
2. A Voice Of The Fans. Chris Drury doesn't have it and "Whisperin'" Peter Laviolette might as well be mute.
That's where Beloved Sam Rosen enters the melodrama.
"Rosen already has admitted that he occasionally drops into the Rangers dressing room," says The Old Scout. "He's given the guys pep talks before. Tonight they need Sam's Song more than ever."
It would be a superior idea for the MSG marketing geniuses to immediately launch a "Make The Playoffs For Sam" promotion.
And please don't tell me it's too late for these shenanigans because The Maven has the perfect squelch.
IT CAN'T HURT!
