Irma Zibanejad reacts to icon Sam Rosen’s farewell

The New York Rangers' home game wasn't just another playoff matchup. It marked the final call of broadcasting legend Sam Rosen after a remarkable 40-year run. As fans filled Madison Square Garden, the playoff tension hung in the air with historical resonance. Among the sea of souls moved by that very moment was Irma Zibanejad, wife to one of Rangers' stars, Mika Zibanejad. She made it to social media with a very simple four-word post that resonated across the emotions of the night. Though brief, her words echoed the sentiment of an entire fan base.


Sam Rosen has been the voice of the Rangers for four decades, narrating generations of triumphs and heartbreaks. His final sign-off stirred strong emotions across the hockey world. Players, staff, and fans paused to acknowledge the weight of the occasion.
The Zibanejads, known for their connection to the Rangers community, were among those deeply touched. Irma’s message wasn’t loud, but it resonated. Her quiet acknowledgment added a personal layer to an already emotional farewell.


Irma Zibanejad’s four-word post; “We will miss you,” followed by a crown emoji, may have been short, but its emotional depth spoke volumes. It wasn’t just a farewell; it was a heartfelt nod from a family rooted in the Rangers’ world. Her quiet tribute reflected the gratitude of countless fans, turning a personal message into a universal expression of appreciation and respect.

Rosen’s departure marked more than a job ending, it was the closing of a chapter in hockey culture. For Mika, now a leader on the team, Rosen’s voice had been part of the journey. Irma’s words, though few, felt like a tribute from one generation of Rangers to another.
As the Rangers continue their playoff quest, Rosen’s final call will echo. Not just in sound, but in spirit. And while the ice is ever-inviting to view, this stands as a reminder that hockey is not just goals and assists: It's about legacy, connection, and voices that show us the way.
