‘Growing up in Toronto, there are three play-by-play men synonymous with my childhood: Bob Cole, Joe Bowen and Rick Jeanneret. Each one is different, but growing up a Leafs fan, my father and I used to tune into Sabres games simply to hear Rick Jeanneret. I was a Blue and White kid, but I wanted the Sabres to win in overtime every night because it meant we got an iconic call from RJ. If that’s how a young Toronto kid felt, you can only imagine how every kid in Buffalo felt. My favorite thing about great commentators is how they weave words from everyday life to describe what goes on in a game, which often leads to signature calls.’
