New York Ranger star Phil Esposito will play his final NHL game Friday night at Madison Square Garden before beginning as an assistant to Coach Craig Patrick. He is expected to join the Garden's television ventures, possibly as a broadcaster, while Patrick is confirmed as Rangers coach for next season and Sonny Werblin signals Esposito's move into Garden cable television operations. Esposito, who retires as the league's second all time goal scorer with 717 goals, said he lost his enthusiasm and notified his wife and brother before confirming retirement after a 1,282 game career spanning 18 seasons.
