====New York Rangers==== In addition to the Knicks, Albert had a lengthy tenure (beginning in [[1965β66 NHL season|1965]]) calling the games of another [[Madison Square Garden]] tenant, the [[New York Rangers]]. He handled the radio call of the Rangers' [[1994 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup-clinching victory in 1994]]. He also famously coined the nickname "Red Light" for radio analyst [[Sal Messina]], a former Rangers goaltender. His signature play-by-play phrase was "kick save and a beauty." Over his years as the Rangers' broadcaster, Albert missed a large number of games for other commitments. Many other broadcasters filled in, including several who later served long stints for other NHL teams, including [[Howie Rose]], [[Mike Emrick]], and [[John Kelly (sportscaster)|John Kelly]], as well as Albert's brothers [[Al Albert (sportscaster)|Al]] and [[Steve Albert|Steve]]. It was his absence from Game 7 of the [[New York Rangers|Rangers]]β[[New Jersey Devils|Devils]] Eastern Conference Finals game that led to Rose's famed [[StΓ©phane Matteau|''Matteau, Matteau, Matteau'']] call.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kaplan |first=Dave |date=2019-02-08 |title=For Stephane Matteau, a Famous Goal Could Not Cover the Darkness (Published 2019) |language=en |work=[[New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/08/sports/hockey/stephane-matteau-rangers.html |access-date=2023-08-19}}</ref> Albert left the Rangers after the [[1994β95 NHL season|1994β95 season]]. At the same time, Rose took the job as a play-by-play announcer of the [[New York Islanders]]. Albert's son, [[Kenny Albert|Kenny]], replaced him and has been the radio voice of the Rangers ever since. Kenny also calls NHL and Olympic ice hockey for [[NBC Sports]] and has served as the national radio voice of the [[Stanley Cup Finals]] since 2016.
