musichunch Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 I disagree with you guys. I think Ray is great at what he does. We could have a lot worse. Quote

Sabresince70 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Think maybe we were all spoiled with Lorentz? I really don't mind Ray, but I used to really enjoy "learning" from Lorentz. He didn't speak just to speak and had an almost teacher like way of explaining things. Also thought Gare did OK the few times he had been on (years ago). Edited November 22, 2015 by Sabresince70 Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 He was hired to be an on-ice reporter, they already had a color guy. I don't think Ray was offered the job to be a color guy, they just made him RT's partner because they no longer wanted to keep a color guy. I think it's unfair to treat Ray like a professional journalist/announcer while Dunleavy gets away with mediocrity at best. And that's Dunleavy's job. I just don't get it........ Like I've said before, we're spoiled, we could have a lot worse. Not that I have any inside info, but I'd be awfully surprised if that's how things went down. I'll go as far as to say it's nearly inconceivable to me that an organization would give somebody a promotion without going over it with the person. As to my solution: keep trying other people. I don't have a name off the top of my head, but luckily that's not my job. We shouldn't just settle for what we have because it's already here and the rest of the league also sucks. That's just awful, we deserve better. Quote
X. Benedict Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Dallas has a good broadcasting team. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Dallas has a good broadcasting team. I was just going to post about that. I'm watching the Dallas feed and they're one of the best combos I've heard around the league. It's tough to beat Strader, he is one of the best in my opinion. Reaugh tops it off nicely. Something annoying about their feed, about once every minute the audio skips. Quote
woods-racer Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Dallas has a good broadcasting team. The Big Johnson has commented that he thought they are really good too. Quote

Stoner Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 Dallas has a good broadcasting team. I listened to St. Louis the other night. John Kelly, son of Dan, and Darren Pang were outstanding. So comfortable together. Quote

Stoner Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 So are we calling John, *Dansson*? Right over my head. Quote
woods-racer Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Right over my head. Like Larsson. The Son of Lars... Dansson. The Son of Dan. Corny and elementary I am, the reason you didn't get it. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Nice to see Stu again too. I forgot he was with Dallas, good crew they have there. Quote
Taro T Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Nice to see Stu again too. The original Buffalo 41 is their Rob Ray? Hadn't latched onto that. How long has he been in that role? Quote
X. Benedict Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 The original Buffalo 41 is their Rob Ray? Hadn't latched onto that. How long has he been in that role? Not sure. He's one of their studio guys. Quote
Taro T Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Not sure. He's one of their studio guys. Ah, ok. Never seen their studio show. Had thought that he'd become their on-ice guy. Thanks for the clarification. Quote

Gave us our due when we earned it. Diplomatic on the outside, homer on the inside. Edited November 22, 2015 by musichunch Quote

Doohicksie Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Watching NHL Network for no good reason. Marty Biron is one of the panelists. I just love that guy. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and just enough that Frenchy accent to sound authentic. I'd love to see him more on Sabres broadcasts. Quote

bob_sauve28 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Frankly I'm happy that they are considering alternatives. Rayzor and May just aren't that good, and I'm not sold yet on Dunleavy either. When they put a stat or info blurb on the screen and Ray reads the whole thing like we are too stupid to read, that drives me crazy. Yes, I know the radio audience and all, but it still bothers me. I like Ray as a person but he is terrible as color man. I've been turning the sound down at times and just watching Not sure. He's one of their studio guys. Hey! Welcome back! :thumbsup: Quote
Weave Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Hey! Welcome back! :thumbsup: Note the date. :( Quote
