John Davidson #30

The New York Rangers obtained Davidson in the offseason and it was there that
his NHL career would be defined, playing eight seasons in Manhattan. In his
first year, Davidson started 56 games, registering a 22-28-5 record with a 3.97
goals against and three shutouts.

The pinnacle of Davidson’s career came in the 1978-79 season when he appeared
in 39 regular season games, posting a 20-12-5 record. The Rangers advanced to
the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since losing to Bobby Orr and the
Boston Bruins in 1972. The only obstacle was the powerful Montreal Canadiens who
were looking for their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup championship. The Rangers
came out of the gate strong, winning game one, but after that the Habs showed
why they were the defending champs. Guy Lafleur, Jacques Lemaire, Serge Savard,
Ken Dryden and company proved too strong, taking the final four games of the
series

The 1979-80 season was Davidson’s last as a starting goaltender in the NHL.
He played in 41 games, but the Rangers proved to be a one-year wonder, and were
back in the pack that year. Davidson was on the Rangers’ roster for the next two
seasons but played in just three games due to a nagging knee injury.

The final totals on Davidson’s career include 301 games played with three
shutouts.For a younger generation of hockey viewers, Davidson is no doubt better
recognized as a hockey broadcaster, where most would say he’s had a much higher
degree of success. He continues to work with the likes of CBC’s Hockey Night In
Canada and MSG, covering all Ranger games with play-by-play announcer Sam Rosen.
He has also worked with ABC, ESPN, CBS and NBC.

Davidson served as NBC’s analyst for the NHL All-Star Game. He worked for CBS
as lead analyst for hockey coverage of the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France,
and again at the 1994 games in Lillehammer, Norway, and the 1998 games in
Nagano, Japan.

He contributed to ABC’s coverage of the NHL in 1994 as their top commentator
and served on the number one team with Mike Emrick for Fox’s coverage of the
league. Since 1995, he has worked the All-Star Games, Stanley Cup playoffs and
Finals for Fox. For the past two years, he has hosted "In the Crease" on NHL.com.

In 1995, Davidson was named winner of the New York Emmy Award for Outstanding
On-Camera Achievement, and in December of 1994, he was an integral part of MSG’s
Rangers broadcast team that was named winner of the prestigious CableACE award
for Outstanding Live Event Coverage.
