Stoner Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 Another reminder of how good we used to have it. He was a masterful host. Sabres Twitter makes it official. 6 Quote
Dreams Burn Down Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 I always loved the banter between him and Mike Robitaille on Hockey Hotline. They were good foils for one another. In my youth, I also enjoyed him on WIVB as a sportscaster. My condolences to his family and friends. 5 Quote

bob_sauve28 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I remember it very differently. I thought Robittaille held him in contempt and didn’t try and really hide it. It was a long time ago but that’s how I remember it. And then, if I recall, Blessing left the show. Quote
Marvin Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I liked him and what Empire Sports Network was. RIP. Quote
LexLuthor871 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) RIP -- he spoke at length with WGR just recently, the day of the Eichel trade to give a Vegas perspective. I remember him fondly at WIVB; good broadcaster, and for awhile I got a kick listening to him contribute on Brent Musburger's VSIN radio network when it was on Sirius.

Taro T Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Bummer. IIRC, he was pretty fond of the ponies. Hopefully there are some good tracks up there. May he RIP. 2 Quote

nucci Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Good broadcaster and seemed like a good guy Quote
