RJ's Last Stand?

I'll always have fond memories of RJ, but he's been going down hill for a few years now. Put him in the hall and move on while he's still looked upon fondly. Then immediately fire Neale.

 

I read an article several years ago that compared the PbP guys in hockey. They said one thing that really stood out for me...something along the lines of "we like John Doe because he can excite the fans without having to scream at us like some other PbP guys". That bugged me then, but over the years I've come to agree.

His whole career has been based on showmanship! But I agree that after May Day, he started scripting big moments more. (And even the "May Day" line was not invented on the spot, not that time anyway.)

 

 

:rolleyes:

Gotta admit i like RJ's boy. I hated him at first but i listened to him do a Portland Game on XM during the Olympics and he did a really nice job. On occasion he sounded just like a young RJ. I think when (if) he takes the job, by midseason, it'll feel like 1975 on the AM radio again. Side note.. i miss Gary Thorne. The sound of his voice, an open window, spring breeze coming through ... just screams playoff hockey to me.
