nfreeman Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Good. How about some meaningful hockey late in the season for him to get excited about? 5 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 I hope he doesn't have to be carried out in a stretcher again this year Quote
Stoner Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 I'm going to go out on a limb here — Rick is quoted as saying he wasn't sure about returning, but he sat down and gave it a lot of thought and decided to give it one more go round, although he still hates the travel. Quote

He has an agreement (has had the agreement for years now) to do whatever game he wants to. He goes on road trips to a select number of games on his own free will. His own desire. He is not forced to travel or work any games he doesn’t want to. Again, no games he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t hate to travel. He’s not forced to travel. I would completely agree with you if ALL he did were home games. That’s certainly not the case. At all. Granted it’s harder for him to travel. I give you that. But “hate” to travel is so not accurate. At least from my 3 degrees of separation from RJ, he likes going on road trips where the arenas are easy to get to and the broadcast booths are easy to get to and are comfortable.

Taro T Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Just hoping he doesn't end up going out like Van Miller did. That once longtime excellent PbP guy was almost painfully bad at the end. Quote
grinreaper Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 Deep inside he probably wants to go for 50. Quote
#freejame Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 I hope the bring in a full time radio guy Quote

(and they'll be carrying me out on a stretcher as well) Here's hoping coach Ralph and crew hook up this roster with a system they can excel at. And here's hoping they give RJ a chance to get his adrenaline going again! It has been a sad 8 years for him and for us. 1 Quote

I have an interview with him on Channel 2 circa 1982 when he was about 40 where he says the least favorite thing about the job is the travel. He was emphatic in saying it. He's said it over the years. Maybe hate was too strong a word. Quote
nucci Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 Is Rob Ray returning as well? He ruins the broadcast and RJ by constantly talking during the play by play. You can tell that RJ gets annoyed by this and it is hard to listen to the games because of Ray. Quote

You can tell that RJ gets annoyed by this and it is hard to listen to the games because of Ray. I agree. I like Ray, but he is not very good at his job. Every other broad cast in every other league is hiring nice young, smart women to do color, id love to have us get one who played the game and can educate us on hockey's finer points. Ray is just, "they need to stop squeezing their sticks too hard" and other worthless comments 1 Quote
