Dave Maloney named Rangers TV analyst, replaces retiring Joe Micheletti

Former New York Rangers captain Dave Maloney will take over as the team's in-game analyst on MSG Networks, its parent company announced Wednesday. Maloney has been the Rangers' radio analyst for the past 20 years and now replaces the retiring Joe Micheletti in the television booth. 'I respected Joe so much; I never ever expected this role to be available,' Maloney said. 'So when it was available, I wanted to make sure my hat was in the (ring). Sure enough, here we are. It's just something I never thought would be probable or possible. … I've had a great run, love the radio, but to say I'm not excited would be a gross understatement.' Advertisement Maloney will call games with play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert, who is also entering his first year working Rangers games full-time on TV. Albert is taking the reins from Sam Rosen, who retired after the 2024-25 season. Albert and Maloney were previously the team's radio duo. 'There are many, many, many things that make this transition perhaps somewhat easier than if I was in a different set of circumstances,' Maloney said. Alex Faust will replace Albert as the radio play-by-play announcer and will also fill in on TV when Albert has national broadcasting commitments. MSG has yet to decide who will replace Maloney as the radio analyst. 'We're thrilled that fans can now enjoy from our TV booth Dave's passion, extensive hockey insight and analysis and the unique chemistry that Dave shares with his longtime radio partner, Kenny Albert,' MSG Networks president and CEO Andrea Greenberg said in a statement. Maloney played 657 NHL games, all but 52 of which were with the Rangers. The former defenseman joined New York's organization in 1974 after the team drafted him in the first round out of Kitchener in the Ontario Hockey League. He made his NHL debut that year at age 18 and became captain at 22, which remains the youngest age anyone has worn the 'C' in team history. He led the Rangers to a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 1979. Maloney was Rangers teammates with Don Maloney, his younger brother, who is now the president of hockey operations for the Calgary Flames. 'The passion of the game, the love for the sport, continue to be things I feel are important to be able to pass along to the people who are listening or watching,' Dave Maloney said. Maloney got his first crack at broadcasting while injured during the Rangers' 1981 playoff run. He joined Marv Albert — Kenny's father — and Sal Messina as the No. 3 in the radio booth, which he said piqued his interest. After his playing career ended, Maloney held broadcasting jobs with CTV, the Minnesota North Stars, Sports Channel and Fox. He took over as the Rangers' radio analyst in the 2005-06 season. Advertisement 'It's about as close as you can get to the game without actually playing the game,' Dave Maloney said. The Maloney news comes two days after MSG announced ESPN New York radio personality Don La Greca will take over as Devils' play-by-play announcer on TV, replacing Bill Spaulding. La Greca has filled in as Rangers' radio announcer in the past, but his MSG role will now move across the Hudson.
