nucci Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Really going to miss him. There are no more PBP announcers anymore...just 2-3 people talking while the game is going on and once in a while they get interrupted by a goal being scored. And Dunleavy saying....oh and it's in Edited April 27, 2022 by nucci 1
fiftyone Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 Awesome. I know RJ night was earlier in the month, but does anyone know if anything special will be happening on Friday for his last game? I'm traveling in from Jersey to see it and just curious if they'll be doing anything.

LabattBlue Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Also saw something about people in the arena being able to listen to RJ’s call through your headphones.

ddaryl Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 I'm still wiping some tears from my eyes after watching that video. Wish I was there
JustOneParade Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 I would imagine the barn will be pretty full Friday night with an amped up crowd. It would be great if the Sabres could get Portillo, Levi, Johnson and Huglen to the game. A recruiting trip of sorts. But I'm sure that would violate some NCAA rule, potentially costing them their remaining eligibility.

(Somewhere between 13-16,000 are not available eyeballing it on the website.) So, since the game is in 2 days and people will get FOMO disease watching the Bruins game, will guess final tally will be anywhere from 18k to a sellout.
Stoner Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 sabres.com says to expect some kind of final tribute to Rick after the game. I'd like to see this happen while he rapels to the ice a la Sabretooth. 1
