‘Thrilled’ Dave Maloney named Rangers TV analyst to complete new MSG booth with Kenny Albert
NY Post
The Rangers will celebrate 100 years as a franchise this upcoming season, and someone who has been around for so much of it is set to chronicle it all.
Dave Maloney was announced as the new TV analyst for the Blueshirts broadcast coverage on Wednesday, replacing Joe Micheletti and joining Sam Rosen’s play-by-play successor, Kenny Albert, in the MSG Networks booth for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
“I just couldn’t be more thrilled, in all honesty,” an excited Maloney said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday morning. “To be in this position, I’m really looking forward to it. And again, you mention the 100-year anniversary, it’s just a little overwhelming, but I’m really looking forward to it. It should be fun.
“I’ve never held it against Kenny Albert that he grew up as a Vancouver Canucks fan. We’ve worked together for 20 years, and it’s funny, when we were signing off on the radio, it wasn’t like we were an old divorced couple or something like that. We were actually getting along! To think that we were going our separate ways and here we are. It’s great, it’s great all the way around.”
The first time Maloney dabbled in the media side of the game was during the 1981 playoffs, when he was in his seventh season with the Rangers and suffered an injury to his right knee in the first-round series against the Kings.
He joined Marv Albert and Sal Messina in the radio booth as the third voice.
