Note: No Connolly tonight, should return for Boston New Years Day.

 

Don't count on it; there's no way he sobers up by 5pm.

Lets Go Buff a lo' and please do not go up in Flames.

The only interesting storyline now is how Mark Jeanneret treats his big chance. He's been doing a brazen (and pretty funny) impression of his dad for years. Does he have the guts to do it in his dad's league, or does he tone it down?

 

 

Ummmm....what?

 

 

Of all the things you get worked up about, I find this one to be the most curious. I don't know what else you expect him to do. He is Rick's son. He is going to sound like him

 

exactly.

 

Just another one of his pointless vendettas - he's been on this one since the summer. Sticky icky link.

 

I am excited to hear how Mark does. Face it, unless he falls flat on his face in the next two games, he will be the voice of the Sabres for the next 30 years.

Do you know what an impression is?

 

Shrieking "scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore" is not inherited. Hell, Rick himself never did it until relatively recently.

No, my "what" was along the lines of,"oh, is he taking over for his dad tonight?"

[nobody]

 

I'd assume this would change. LR said last week he doesn't like to show his lines to the other team before the game.

 

 

Is that why they play so bad - since they never get to practice with their actual linemates for the game since Lindy doesn't want to show his lines?

[nobody]

OK - which one of you posted this?

 

TSN - Roy story

 

 

Howie Hodge

 

Sabres are near the bottom with Roy in the lineup. This merely puts them in the mix for a top five pick in next years draft. Very por season for Buffalo; but some of in Buffalo have been calling this demise ever since Marcy Regier let the core of the team leave, reolaced them with mediocre players tied to long term contracts. Very sad indeed....

He's doing their next two games. I think Paul Hamilton is doing a couple games after that, and then RJ comes back after the new year.

Oh the travel thing. He did that last year, too. Thanks! B-)

If Drury and Briere had stayed I wonder where this team would be now?

[inkman]

It's embarrassing. You'd think he'd like to carve his own niche in the broadcasting world, instead he comes off like a cheap cover band. At this point I'd rather hear Hamilton or even dooshy Sylvester.

[Robviously]

Had we extended either guy, I think we'd have let Vanek go to Edmonton and had four extra first rounders. We'd have had a legit captain and leader for the past four seasons and other players like Roy and Pominville wouldn't have been thrust into roles that they aren't cut out for. We'd be in much, much better shape.

 

And remember: Briere wanted to stay and Drury actually agreed to an extension that the team pulled after he agreed to it. We could have kept either guy. Black Sunday only happened because our absentee owner doesn't give a **** and because Larry Quinn is a disaster as a team president. It didn't have to be this way.

Rick's broadcasting has evolved a lot over the years. If his son ever got the job full-time, I imagine he'd find his own voice once he figured out what he was doing. Broadcasting seems like one of those weird jobs that takes forever to master and where you're constantly adjusting and changing.

Is Hamilton doing any of the games? I know Sylvester will be doing a good chunk of them.

Paul's not doing any of them. Too bad -- I thought he was great.

His ties must have hypnotized you.

[bob_sauve28]

I liked him too

[wonderbread]

aside from the tie cheapshot. I didn't dislike him. As Ink pointed out he's better than K-slice.

[JJBuffalo]

Don't count on it; there's no way he sobers up by 5pm.

 

 

:thumbsup: he's been known to whack down a few too many

He was terrific. He really should get a shot at being the "next voice." He won't. You'll blame it on Lindy.

[deluca67]

I would rather see Hamilton at center in place of "Neids." "Neids?" As in Rob "Neids" to retire.

[wonderbread]

Hamilton is on GR stating TV should get the C? Thoughts?

[carpandean]

Myers out sick?

[bob_sauve28]

He's more descriptive than his dad

[carpandean]

A little flat on the call so far, but he did put a little inflection on "PoOOminville" there.
