Tonight from Madison Square Garden, it's New York Rangers Hockey. This is Marv Albert along with Sal Red Light Messina.

One game I especially associate with this theme. The Rangers were playing the Bruins, and Esposito was still on the Rangers. With seconds to play and the Rangers down by a goal, someone fed Espo a breakaway lead pass, but his breakaway shot was thwarted by the Bruins goalie and time ran out. Espo slammed his stick in disgust and I seem to remember Terry O'Reilly going over the boards into the stands. As chaos erupted, the telecast ended with the lead into, of course, this wonderful theme.

December 23 1979 Mike milbury hit the fan with his own shoe. I was at the game about 35 feet from the incident.

greg madill was the worst official in the nhl and he worked this game. always managed to put the rangers two men down at the garden, but he was the lynchpin to an angry garden crowd and a frustrated rangers team that evening!

It is indeed the Rangers victory song, but the short version was used on the air during the early 70's on TV (both on Cable and on WOR).This long version was used on Ranger radio broadcasts at least through the mid 80's. I believe this short version continued to open the Cablecasts at least through 79-80.At some point,MSG used the Knicks opening TV theme (also posted) for both teams until around the 80-81 season. It was written by J Fredd Coots (also wrote Santa Clause is Coming To Town).

The Knicks theme was used on the WOR Ranger telecasts from at least 1976 (my earliest frame of reference) through the 79-80 season. This theme was only used on MSG in that era for the home games.

The short version was used on 66-WNBC and later WNEW-1130. During the intro Marv Albert would chime in with the famous words, " Tonight, from Madison Square Garden it's New York Rangers Hockey"!

This is definitely "The Rangers Victory Song". In my recollection, this was played on the radio for both Knick and Ranger games in the 70s. Many don't remember it as it only played for maybe 20 seconds. Channel 9 had a different theme for TV, but it sounded somewhat similar and many confuse the two.

This debuted for the 1972-73 Rangers' season -- WNBC radio used the long version and Manhattan Cable TV used the short one, which as others have said, was also used when the Rangers came on ice (and which had an audio drop-out at the end that no one at MSG bothered to fix for about a year).

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. I have not heard it in over 30 years. I had no idea that by plugging in "1979 rangers msg theme" i would actually find this. Because the Rangers were (in a rarity) very good in 1979, I watched them often that year, hearing this theme before and after the games.

As a season ticket holder from the late 60's through the late 70's (Section 316, Row f, Seat 7: Green), the theme (a little different and shorter version) was used to also be played when the NYR entered the ice. Gave me goosebumps.

As a kid from Brooklyn (for whom cable was an unknown before the late 1980s), I remember this was the theme for home radio broadcasts on WNEW, but not the road games on Channel 9 (which is all I could see). I'm assuming this was used on the Manhattan Cable telecasts for the home games.

This is an electronic/instrumental version of the Rangers Victory song which played in-arena at Madison Square Garden when the Rangers stepped onto the ice for warm-ups. It didn't play on-air during TV broadcasts.

Along with the Knicks theme, I grew up with this one listening to it on an old Black and White TV set in Wyoming, doing homework...when there were hardly any cable channels.

I heard the original version of, The Rangers Victory Song, with vocals from the 50's, when the Rangers played the Islanders. I wonder where that version is? Does anyone remember hearing it. It was played well before the game started. Fans had not yet taken their seats yet and players were still warming up.

If I recall correctly, this version of the Rangers song was performed on flute by Herbie Mann, a famous flautist in the 60s and 70s, ands a big Ranger fan in those days.

This is the jazzed up version of "The Rangers Victory Song" written by J. Fred Coots,( 1897-1985)a Rangers fan in 1940 for the then Stanley Cup Champions. He would also write the song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" Here is the original version: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zYZ_z4x7mIaCa6w
