sad to hear about Gilbert..........I remember listening to Marv Albert and the "Big Whistle" do those Ranger games on the radio when I was very young..........my father bought me my first hockey skates at Cosby's at MSG as they had a really good selection.........quite an "atmospheric" store in a unique location.......Gilbert was member of the great GAG (Goal A Game) line with Jean Ratelle & Vic Hadfield. I worked part time at Cosby’s Sports Shop in MSG when they played. Mr Cosby had season tickets in the 3rd row at center ice. Every now and then he would have something else going on and he would throw me a ticket to a game.
Always had a great time at the game. Tickets to the Ranger games were the hottest tickets in town back in the 70’s and they still are today.
